Hiring a car in Puerto Rico: What documents do I need?

You’ll need no more than three:

Credit card
Driver’s licence
Passport or ID.

Traffic Rules

Hiring a car in Puerto Rico is like booking a hotel – an easy thing to do. But it’s still best to remember a few top traffic rules before getting behind the wheel:

Drive on the right side of the road.
Fasten your seat belts (front and rear passengers included) and carry your documents.
Don’t drink: 0.8 ppm is the maximum blood alcohol level for experienced drivers.
Respect speed limits: only 25 mph in urban areas, and up to 45-60 mph on motorways.
Don’t use mobile devices without a hands-free option in your vehicle.

Parking

Shopping centres, city squares, restaurants, and other public spaces usually offer free spots for a few hours.

During peak tourist season, expect to pay $10-$22 per day for parking, as spaces are scarce.

Petrol Stations

You’ll pay about $1 per litre (or $4 per gallon) to fill up your vehicle.

Petrol stations here are always good enough for a quick bite or just a quick break on the road. Card payments are no problem.

Toll Roads

Some cities have small sections of toll roads.

However, they’re cheap enough to avoid worrying about driving on them – only $1-$5.
