Renting a car is one of the most convenient ways to get around Puerto Rico. The island has a well-maintained network of highways and roads, making it easy to travel between cities and towns. Most international rental companies have offices at the airport and in major cities.
Public Bus
Public buses, known as 'guaguas', are a cheap way to travel around the main cities in Puerto Rico. However, they can be unreliable and routes are often limited. It's best to use buses for short trips within cities.
Taxi
Taxis are readily available in Puerto Rico's major cities and tourist areas. They operate on a fixed fare system, so it's best to confirm the price before starting your journey. Taxis are a good option for short trips or if you're not comfortable driving.
Ridesharing
Ridesharing services like Uber are available in Puerto Rico, particularly in San Juan and other major cities. This can be a convenient and cost-effective way to get around, especially if you're traveling in a group.
Ferry
Ferries operate between the main island and Puerto Rico's smaller islands, such as Vieques and Culebra. This is a scenic and relaxing way to travel, but schedules can be subject to change due to weather conditions.
Private Transfer
Private transfers can be arranged from the airport to your hotel or other destinations. This is a convenient option if you're traveling with a lot of luggage or prefer not to drive.
Bicycle
In some areas, particularly in San Juan, bicycles are available for rent. This is a fun and eco-friendly way to explore the local area, but may not be practical for longer distances or trips outside the city.
Foot
Many of Puerto Rico's cities, including Old San Juan, are best explored on foot. This allows you to take in the sights at your own pace and discover hidden gems that you might miss when traveling by car or bus.

Weather Conditions
Puerto Rico enjoys a tropical marine climate with an average year-round temperature of 80°F (27°C). However, the weather can vary depending on the region and the time of year. The island experiences two main seasons: the dry season, which runs from December to April, and the rainy season, which runs from May to November. If you're planning to visit during the dry season, you can expect warm, sunny days with temperatures ranging from 70°F to 85°F (21°C to 29°C). This is the best time for outdoor activities like hiking, beach hopping, and exploring the historic sites. During the rainy season, the island receives most of its annual rainfall. While the temperatures remain relatively warm, ranging from 75°F to 88°F (24°C to 31°C), the frequent showers can disrupt outdoor activities. However, the rain usually comes in short, intense bursts, followed by sunshine. It's a good idea to pack a light rain jacket or umbrella if you're visiting during this season. Regardless of when you visit, it's important to remember that Puerto Rico is located in the hurricane belt. The hurricane season officially runs from June to November, with the peak period being from August to October. While the chances of a hurricane hitting during your visit are relatively low, it's always a good idea to check the forecast and be prepared. In terms of what to wear, light, breathable clothing is recommended year-round due to the island's humid climate. Don't forget to pack a hat, sunglasses, and plenty of sunscreen to protect yourself from the strong Caribbean sun. Lastly, if you're planning to explore the El Yunque National Forest or other high-altitude areas, keep in mind that temperatures can be significantly cooler, with averages between 60°F and 75°F (16°C to 24°C). A light sweater or jacket may be necessary for these excursions.
