Can I rent a car in San Juan, Puerto Rico?

If you want to explore sites and towns outside of the San Juan metro area, or if you'll be staying in more than one town during your visit, then renting a car is a good idea. You might be wondering about the condition of roads in San Juan following Hurricane Maria’s landfall two years ago. No worries – Puerto Rico has worked hard to restore main roadways, and you should encounter no infrastructure problems while driving them.

If your visit is short or you mostly want to stay in San Juan, then you can rely on taxis, Uber and the public bus system to get around.
