Driving Tips

Driving your car rental in Puerto Rico should be a rather similar experience to driving in the continental US. Driving is on the right side of the road, wearing a seatbelt is mandatory and expect the usual rush hour traffic in densely populated areas, particularly if driving towards San Juan between 6 am and 9 am.

Here are some useful tips for driving in Puerto Rico:

• Roads are number with 1 to 4 digits, 1 digit roads like the Route 1 are the older highways while double digit roads are newer highways or toll roads. Triple digit roads are country roads while 4 digit roads are very little, minor routes.
• Speed limits are posted in miles while distances are posted in kilometers. Speed limits are 25 mph in built up areas, 45 mph on country roads and 55-65 mph on highways.
• Parking is often expensive and can be difficult in popular tourist areas and cities. Parking is enforced by the police so if you get a ticket pay at your local police station, or a bank.
• Some smaller routes can be very narrow so take caution.
• The legal alcohol limit is 80mg per 100 ml of blood and breaking the law will be met with serious consequences.
