KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in San Juan

  • Because public transportation is limited and doesn’t go very far, you’ll want to rent a car during your stay in San Juan. A hire car will give you the freedom to explore places on the island, like Cueva Ventana or Arecibo Observatory. Additionally, you’ll be able to better explore much of the nature and picturesque scenery as you drive along the coastal highways. You can also drive through the rainforest – an unforgettable experience.
  • The San Juan Airport (or Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport) is just a few miles from the center of the city. Once you are off the plane, you’ll simply retrieve your hire car from the parking garage, or you can take a shuttle to the hire car desk. This airport provides many options for car hires including locally own companies like Charlie Car hire as well as nationally recognized companies such as Hertz or Enterprise.
  • The roads in San Juan can be a little bumpy and rough. Additionally, their narrowness can be somewhat intimidating to tourists. So, you’ll need to drive with caution even though you are sightseeing. Motorcycles are also very common in Puerto Rico, and motorcyclists tend to drive quite fast and will cut in front of you; so beware.
  • During rush hour the traffic can get a little heavy. The morning rush hour typically begins at around 8 a.m. and continues through 9:30 a.m. or so. In the evening, commuters will begin to return home at 4 p.m., which will cause some congestion on the road until around 6 p.m.
  • Book your rental car in San Juan at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Intermediate rental cars in San Juan are around 88% cheaper than other car types, on average

You will need to get on a shuttle to get to the rental. Give yourself enough time on both ends; ~45 mins.
AciremaAug 2024
Call ahead of time should you have any questions before renting a car. Pickup was very easy, anticipate wait time if busy season, otherwise it is worth the wait and they’re super friendly.
Verified travelerJul 2024
I would definitely suggest renting a car in San Juan but shop around as there are a lot of options and the prices vary strongly depending on company.
Verified travelerJul 2024
I rented a Nissan Versa. Very good gas mileage and can go anywhere even to the mountains!
JeseniaJul 2024
You definitely need to purchase insurance since PR isn’t covered under most policies. Pay attention to the location of the car rental facility. Make sure to take pictures or video of any existing damage on the vehicle. Even if you’re staying outside of San Juan, I’m not sure purchasing the toll pass is necessary. The tolls are $1 and the pass is $5/day. Unless you’re making multiple trips back and forth, opt out and pay at the end.
Verified travelerAug 2024
Give yourself time picking up. You save a ton compared to larger chains but it is with a few drawbacks. Nothing serious just keep that in mind
GioMay 2024
Everything went smooth. I had to extend my reservation and they did without a long delay. Also my car was smelling and even before I got ir they went and changed it so I never even saw it. They did great

Reserve plenty of time in advance and call to confirm rental before you go. Enterprise saved us from a terrible experience by having a car available for us to rent!
ShawnMar 2024
Book a small car. Large cars are too hard to maneuver in the crowded streets of San Juan. Parking a larger car is very difficult (I drive large cars daily).

It was very east to drive around Puerto Rico. If you want to see the island I would suggest renting a car.

Driving in San Juan was very easy! Roads are well- marked and easy to navigate, no trouble at all!! I HIGHLY recommend downloading the toll app and adding $20 to avoid fees charged by the rental company, check into that because if you plan to drive around the island you will Need the toll roads!!

In airport car rentals are usually much more expensive than off airport car rental locations. My wife and I fly to San Juan airport frequently and there are many car rental locations just a short drive outside the SJU airport; anywhere from 10 to 15 minutes when there is no traffic.

Was able to find street free parking in old San Juan a little distance and walked to see all tourist places.

Prince is great. Call the rental car as soon as you get to airport for bus pick up instructions.

Don’t use cell phone, talk while driving. Will get a ticket . Don’t carry jewelries with you. Don’t leave visible things on the car. Visit Caribe Hilton, El San Juan Hotel, Piñones. See La Parguera, rent a boat there. Go to El Conquistador and Luquillo beach. See El Morro.
LeticiaJul 2023
You need to be patient when picking up car. And definitely give your self hour or more to drop off the car

Rent a small call if you can, streets are narrow.
JasonJul 2023
Ensure that you reserve vehicles way in advance.
DominickJul 2023
If you are renting from the airport, be sure to use one of the rental companies that is actually across the street from the airport. Many (like Ace) advertise that they are at the airport, but require a shuttle that you have to wait for both ways.
CristinaJul 2023
I recommend staying away from smaller car rental companies or call them before showing up and make sure there are no surprise fees… or use international car rental companies…

Better than the airport if you’re staying in Condado!

The price was double what was quoted on kayak website. The name of the company is not ACE it’s Charlie Car Rental. Terrible customer service, the car had sand all inside of it. I had purchased insurance through kayak they made me buy an additional insurance coverage. Just all around terrible experience. I would’ve absolutely picked another company if I knew this would’ve been the outcome. You should remove them from your website.

The agent at the counter was not friendly at all when asked for the breakdown of the charges after your original total balance they added a bunch of different other charges including a mandatory $9.95 toll fee per day whether u pass a toll or not. The total was about $100. She wanted a complete paper copy of my Allstate Insurance to prove I have Full Coverage in my vehicle. I decline. Walk next door to them and Book a car with another company

Everything was great with the car, my only note is that the price you are quoted is significantly more when you pick up the car. The price we reserved the car for was around $125 but when we picked up the car the price was double that price. I did feel a bit trapped because I needed the car but deceptive pricing never make me feel good as a customer.

I paid double than what I was quoted online, I felt blindsided. Getting there wasn’t as easy as I thought since it’s not at the airport and a little off of it. There are other rental companies located at the airport that I wish I had known about it. Overall it wasn’t a terrible experience, but I wouldn’t rent again.

The car they measured was not in driving condition. The tires were in bad condition, the windshields were also in bad condition. The price you gave me for rental was totally different from 200, I ended up paying 465, it's a deception. They told me to call payless to speak to a supervisor and I've been calling for days and no one ever answers the calls.

To begin with, the amount quoted was definitely not what I received from Kayak. They obligated to take their insurance because I didn’t show proof, ( a letter), indicating that my insurance would cover vehicle. Otherwise, I couldn’t take the vehicle. That’s real bad business and will NOT EVER recommend Dollar rental to anyone and maybe even Kayak because of false quote.

Upon arrival from CT, I was told my reservation had been canceled the night before! More outrageous thing was that I was forced to take insurance full cover!!! Either that or stay stranded without a car. I believe that was rip off and illegal, since i had declined insurance because my own insurance covers rentals. Staff was not helpful and did not seem to care that they took advantage of travelers with a blank stare. Also, I was charged a whole day plus taxes, fees and insurance for returning the car one hour late!!! Won’t rent from Dollar again. Better get Uber. Stay away from this company!!!

We requested a large SUV - like an expedition. Instead we got a palisade. We had 8 adults and luggage for a week, so it was extremely cramped and uncomfortable anywhere we went. The Hertz team initially told us that is would be 35 minutes while they cleaned the vehicle for us. But they just immediately gave us the palisade. We were happy to wait for the correct size vehicle, but they would not give it to us. Extremely disappointed in Hertz this trip. We would have even settled for two vehicles instead, but they would not accommodate. I’ll rent somewhere else next time.

Booked at set rate for honda crv didn't have the car when I arrived and gave me a smaller vehicle which barely fit our luggage and charged me additional $175 in fees not disclosed when I booked online. The mitsubishi eclipse cross is not in the same size category as a Honda Crv which is why I booked.

Pros:

The staff was very friendly. I rented a Jeep Wrangler and received a Honda CRV. I would not have mentioned it, but it was specific that it was a Wrangler to enjoy the environment on this vacation. Our flight was late, so they cancelled the Jeep and gave it to someone else after two hours. Nowhere does it say after two hours your car is cancelled ( I would’ve called if I knew this information). They did not call to confirm.

At counter, poor slow service. After been pick up at airport. My experience was horrible. Vehicle schedule for 2pm. Did not get in a Vehicle to 4:35pm. Reserve an medium SUV. They tried giving me a Corolla. They said next available Vehicle would be available after 5pm. Finally offered a Jeep. Had ta hassle with counter person to offer same price. After driving couple of hours at night time. Vehicle show a roach Infection. Let them know as I return Vehicle. It did not show it matter as another person was waiting for it. Also watch out for additional charges been applied without your approval. Like PEP. It was removed after request. Will not use this rental again.

They didn’t have a car for me. The customer service at the station was awful. The young lady at the desk couldn’t have cared less about the fact they had no car, despite me booking one. The main depot didn’t even answer the phone to her so she could get an update. I eventually walked out after I was an hour late after my booking time, with no car. So disgusted. I am an ex Avis employee so it’s even worse!

Pros:

Nothing. I arrived at 10:00 AM. I waited in the hot garage with mosquitos for 45 minutes. We got our car after 11. The computer system was down so the 2 customers in front of me took about 25 minutes each.

Cons:

We showed up at 10:00 AM, we should have gotten our car before 11....We could have been allowed to wait in the AC instead of the hot mosquito infested garage... The employee could have moved a little quicker. I would not rent here again. The car gas tank could have been full instead of 5/8's, so many things could have been better.

Pros:

No mechanical problems, nice car

Cons:

We had a two week rental. On first day of the tental the agency called saying they had no cars leaving us stranded at our Airbnb. He said they might have a car later or maybe it would be 3 days. For hours after that call they would not answer their phone.. Finally they did answer and he had one come in.

The car I booked was a standard SUV. The car I got was far from a standard SUV. It was a smaller SUV. It had a bad smell in it and the car's performance and ride was terrible.

The advertised cost is not what you end up paying. In my experience, I paid twice as much, so if you see $40/day, be prepared to pay close to $100/day.

The staff was very very slow and did not care about customer service. She was rude when I tried to get a time estimate after waiting 40 mins to be called up. The other staff members appeared to be very disorganized. After 50 minutes, we decided to leave. We never got the car and took our business to another car rental place that was much much quicker.

Oh my, this place is a mess... it's now called allied. I rented here before with the same experience. This time I had to cancel because they were saying my online rate wouldn't allow me to use my private vehicle full coverage.... so rented online then they wanted an additional 174$... went to NU down the street got a nicer car for same original online price. Also 2 different customers were accused of damaging their car while we were standing in line, both had taken pics and proved otherwise. It is slow, rude, disorganized, poorly ran, etc.

The biggest problem is with your estimating system. The taxes and fees you gave me were 150% off. Wasted 1 hour of my trip trying to understand what happened. Your system should not use US estimates it’s way off and it makes for a lot of unhappy customers
