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.

Visiting Puerto Rico in the winter is generally more pleasant than in warmer months.

There is also the Puerto Rican version of Mardi Gras on the third weekend of January that takes place on San Sebastian Street in Old San Juan. The island is home to 3 of 5 bioluminescent bays in the world, and winter is a great time to go kayaking at night and check them out. One is located about an hour outside of San Juan. Rent an SUV if you plan to go to the more mountainous parts of the country, or book a convertible to enjoy the sun.
