Driving Tips

Town centre roads and major highways are generally well-maintained in Puerto Rico but their condition in rural and mountainous areas is variable and you might encounter animals on the road. The islanders do have a reputation for fairly aggressive and fast driving although speeding is now heavily penalised. Signposts are written mainly in Spanish. Having a rental car does, however, reward you with some beautiful scenery and coastlines.

More tips for enjoying driving in Puerto Rico:

  • Drive on the right in Puerto Rico and remember that Kilometres are used for distances but speed limits are marked in miles.
  • Between the hours of midnight and 5:00 a.m. red lights can be crossed provided you come to a complete stop first.
  • There are four toll roads on the island and your rental vehicle should have an electronic payment tag.
  • Children under 12 can only ride in the front of vehicles if airbags are disabled. We recommend the use of appropriate child seats.
  • Paid parking is widely available on Puerto Rico but can be tricky to find at peak holiday periods.
  • Any damage caused to rental vehicles by driving off paved surfaces is your responsibility and will incur repair costs.
