Top tips for renting a car in Puerto Rico

  • Renting a car in Puerto Rico is one of the best means a traveler can use to explore the historic district of Old San Juan and visit white-sand shores along with Playa Flamenco, about 18 miles east of the central business district, among other attractions surrounding the city. A car from cheap car rentals in Puerto Rico will also help you experience Puerto Rico the Boricua way. You can take a 2-hour drive and go hiking, ziplining, or horseback riding at El Yunque Rainforest, or visit the lighthouse in Cabo Rojo. You can also take an hour’s food road trip down Pork Highway at Guavate. Here, you’ll enjoy Puerto Rican dishes such as Ruta del Mojo Isleño.
  • You might have to use Auto Express roads in Puerto Rico, which are synonymous with the E-Z Pass present in the mainland US. If you will have to use such roads, it is crucial that you understand how electronic toll works. Generally, drivers use an electronic stamp known as Autoexpreso to pay toll roads. Be sure to check with your car rental company if additional Autoexpresso fees are involved before signing your Puerto Rico car rental contract. Some car rental outlets will include stamp usage fees in your daily costs. On the other hand, other companies will charge you an additional fixed rate for this service.
  • Ponce (PSE) Airport is the nearest airport to Puerto Rico CBD. Luckily, to cover the 17-mile journey, you can rent a car at the airport. Most of Puerto Rico's car rentals are located in the airport’s terminal, near the baggage claim area. Some of the agencies you’ll find at this pickup point are Budget, Sunnycars, ORLANDO, and Avia Car. For convenience, most of the cheap car rentals in Puerto Rico have multiple pickups and drop-off points.
  • It is highly recommended that visitors of Puerto Rico rent a vehicle during their time on the island. First off, having a rental vehicle makes getting from Gran Canaria Airport to Puerto Rico - a drive of 47 kilometers (29 miles) - an absolute breeze. Second and most importantly, renting your own vehicle is much cheaper than paying for tour buses to take you across the island everytime you want to head out of town to sites such as the Caldera de Los Marteles (56 kilometers or 36 miles away).
  • Visitors arriving at Gran Canaria Airport who wish to pick up a rental car after landing will find the rental car counters located in the airport’s Arrivals Terminal.
  • Due to it being a resort town, Puerto Rico has numerous pedestrians on its streets. It is very common to see jaywalkers, particularly during the afternoon and evening hours, in the busier parts of town. Visitors should make sure to drive carefully and be cautious of any would-be jaywalkers.
  • Though most of the traffic in Puerto Rico is made up of holidaying pedestrians, there is the occasional rush hour traffic during the peak hours of the week. The usual morning rush hour lasts from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., while the afternoon rush hour starts up at around 4:00 p.m. and finishes up by around 6:00 p.m. or 7:00 p.m. In terms of roads to avoid during rush hour, GC-500 is one of the main culprits that drivers should avoid during peak hours.
  • Book your rental car in Puerto Rico at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Economy rental cars in Puerto Rico are around 49% cheaper than other car types, on average
