Driving Tips for San Juan

Once you pick up your car rental in San Juan, 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.

These along with our other tips for driving in Puerto Rico will help you have a stress-free experience.

This the second time I use Sixt for car rental (only first time in San Juan). Do I wish the car pickup was at the airport, yes. The wait for the bus was about 10min. The pick up process was super easy, it probably took 15min between the wait and the paper work. The return process was super easy well. I am glad I saved myself almost 65% off by not renting from the terminal. Definitely make a reservation as early as possible, and maybe direct on the website. If you pick the cheapest option, don’t expect a brand new car, but it did the job and was reliable with zero issues.

I recently rented from SIXT in San Juan for the first time. Unfortunately, while my car was prepaid, I had a delay with my flight (no fault of SIXT) and my vehicle was not available when I arrived for pick up. I arrived very late with my child and the gentlemen at the counter was not very helpful. He proceeded to advise me that my rental had "expired" and he could only offer me a standard sedan (I had paid for a large SUV). I explained that it wouldnt work and he instead offered me an "upgrade" to a luxury SUV for a daily fee of $14. I had no choice but to accept but when the documents were printed and paid for, the daily amount was $20. When I confronted him about it, he stated it was an "average" with a smirk on his face. A few days later I received an email from the manager. I explained my situation and to my surprise, he not only responded immediately but also refunded the upgrade and confirmed it was charged in error. This was my first time renting from anyone but Hertz on the island. However, I was impressed with the customer service with SIXT and will definitely return. Thank you!

Excellent experience renting a car from sixt in Puerto Rico Caroline. They were on time to pick us up and take us back to the airport. The staff was very friendly. I forgot my phone in the van on my way back to the airport and they took the time to take it back to me with no hesitation. Price was the best and customer service on point. Thank You very much!
