Sometimes there is a fee, or parking is not available at all. Also, to avoid added expenses, make sure you check the parking situation at your hotel or resort. 4WD vehicles are not needed on the big island - the roads here are fine. Rent the smallest car you are comfortable in, a small car is easier to maneuver on small roads and park in tight parking spaces.

Make sure to bring a copy of your insurance information “declarations page” (company name, phone and policy number and the fact that you are covered for accidents in rental cars in Puerto Rico), and of course your driver’s license (no special driver’s license is needed here for tourists). On-airport companies have an airport surcharge, so off-airport companies are usually a bit cheaper.

Prices vary, so look on-line and shop around. There are plenty of national and local car rental companies available at, or near, the airports. You may have heard horror stories about Puerto Rican drivers, but, in reality, it is not that bad! Here are some tips to make your experience driving in Puerto Rico as painless as possible.

Puerto Rico is a relatively large island - 35 miles wide by 100 mile long - compared to other Caribbean islands. Welcome to Puerto Rico! Now that you are here - it is time to explore. Make your vacation easier and activate the tag when you get your rental! If you declined the tag on your contract and you use these toll roads, the car agencies usually penalize you with a hefty fee. If your car has an AutoExpreso tag on the window, you will get charged automatically at any toll (except if you find one that takes “C” Cash), even if you use the "Movilcash R+" lanes. Currently RT 52, RT 66, RT 22, RT 5, RT 20 and RT 53 and are "changeless" (no place toll bucket to through change into and go…must go to the Movilcash lane (if there is one)), and the end part of RT 66 and parts of RT 22, Rt 5 and the Moscoso Bridge ONLY accept Autoexpreso.no way to pay cash/Movilcash at all. If you are interested in driving around the island visiting places of interest and plan using the Toll roads, we strongly suggest renting/activating the AutoExpreso Tag from the car rental agency.
