Puerto Rico Car Rental Mini Guide

Hiring a car in Puerto Rico offers the advantage of flexibility and convenience in exploring the island's various attractions, from beautiful beaches to historic sites. It's recommended to rent a compact or mid-sized car for navigating Puerto Rico's roads comfortably. Traffic can be congested in urban areas like San Juan, but overall, the road conditions are decent. Puerto Rico's highways are generally well-maintained, but you might encounter some potholes on less-traveled roads. While driving, be prepared for occasional aggressive drivers and use caution when navigating through crowded city streets.
 

The distance from Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport (SJU) in San Juan, Puerto Rico, to various main resorts on the island can vary. Here are approximate distances to some popular resorts:

  1. San Juan (Isla Verde): The airport is approximately 1-2 miles (1.6-3.2 kilometers) from the Isla Verde area, where many beachfront resorts are located.

  2. Condado: Condado, another popular tourist area in San Juan, is around 6-7 miles (9.7-11.3 kilometers) from the airport.

  3. Dorado: The Dorado area, known for its luxury resorts, is approximately 20-25 miles (32-40 kilometers) west of the airport.

  4. Rincón: Rincón, located on the west coast, is about 115 miles (185 kilometers) from the airport, so it's a longer drive.

  5. Ponce: Ponce, on the southern coast, is roughly 70-75 miles (112-121 kilometers) from the airport.

  6. Fajardo: Fajardo, on the eastern coast, is approximately 32-35 miles (51-56 kilometers) from SJU.

Please note that these distances are approximate and may vary depending on the exact location of your resort within each area. It's advisable to check with your specific resort for precise directions and travel times.
