Driving Tips for San Juan
Once you pick-up your San Juan car rental, your Puerto Rican adventure begins. Keep these tips in mind for a smooth journey:
- Toll Roads: Puerto Rico has several toll roads, including Highway 5 and Highway 17, which are paid with the Autoexpreso. Ask about our prepaid toll program to make your life easier.
- Road Conditions: Most roads are paved, but you will need to watch out for frequent potholes. Some roads in rural areas are dirt or gravel and quite narrow, so drive carefully.
- Rush Hour: The San Juan area is known for traffic congestion in the early morning and late afternoon/evening. Avoid roads like Highway 1 and Highway 17 at this time.
- Road Signs: While the road signs are universal, most of them will be in Spanish, so be sure to familiarize yourself with the visuals or some simple Spanish words.
