Car Hire in Puerto Rico

Before renting, verify what your travel insurance or credit card covers for rental vehicles in Puerto Rico.

Before returning the vehicle, clarify the return procedures with the rental company. Knowing where to drop off the car and any required inspections can streamline the process.

When renting a car, especially after travelling by train, allocate extra time for pickup to account for possible delays. Most car hire companies offer a 30-60 minute grace period. Sharing your train number can be helpful, but if you're running late, be sure to contact the car hire provider to let them know.

Consider local weather conditions and seasonal variations that might affect driving, such as snow or rain.

Many car hire deals in Puerto Rico require a credit card for the deposit. If you only have a debit card, use our website's filter to find options that accommodate it or consider getting a credit card. Make sure the main driver’s card is used to prevent any extra charges.

In Puerto Rico, car hire options are billed on a daily basis. Renting for over 24 hours will incur a charge for an additional day, so be sure to plan your hire duration to avoid extra costs.

Decide whether to rent a GPS or use your smartphone for navigation; consider data costs if using mobile.

Always keep your rental agreement, identification, and insurance information easily accessible during your rental period. This can help resolve any issues quickly.
