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.
