San Juan Car Rentals

Renting a car in San Juan is easy an easy step to take because of the size of the city and the massive number of tourists who flow through it every year.

It’s especially true of anyone who is visiting San Juan for days or even a full week. The island is large and has numerous attractions for adventurous souls who like to explore.

It’s not as easy of a choice for the many cruise visitors who pour into the city—some of them stopping there during a cruise and others who begin or end a cruise there.

Possibly the biggest and most popular attraction in San Juan is Old San Juan.

A car is not necessary for anyone who wants to tour Old San Juan. It’s a great place for walking around.

But getting there is a slightly different story. Speaking from experience, I can say it’s possible and somewhat easy to take a public bus from the cruise docks to Old San Juan.

Anyone who want to see and do more than just tour Old San Juan should consider renting a car.

Not surprisingly, San Juan’s international airport is packed with car rental agencies.
