Cheap Alamo Car Hire in San Juan

When renting a car, understand the fuel policy. A 'Full-to-Full' policy means you return the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' means you return it with the same level of fuel. Full-to-Full is often more cost-effective.

Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to San Juan, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70

Before finalizing your booking, check if the rental company offers free cancellation. This can provide peace of mind if your travel plans change unexpectedly.

Some rental companies offer a free tank of fuel with your rental. Be sure to understand the terms, including how much fuel you need to return the car with and any potential fees for not meeting these conditions.

Most rental companies will require a credit card for the deposit, which is typically frozen in your account. Make sure to inquire about the specific deposit amount and the policy for releasing the freeze.

Before renting a car, check if your personal car insurance covers rental losses. Many personal auto insurance policies and credit cards offer coverage for rentals, which could save you from extra insurance fees.

Some zones may have driving limitations; make sure you’re aware of them.

Car-sharing services can be a flexible and cost-effective solution for brief journeys.
