Cheap Car Hire in Puerto Rico

Car hire in Puerto Rico is a great way to see the island as it gives you all the flexibility you need to get around. Before you get your hire car in Puerto Rico, you must familiarise yourself with the licensing requirements to ensure you meet the criteria. Drivers must be at least 21 years of age to arrange Puerto Rico car hire. In some instances, however, to arrange luxury car hire in Puerto Rico with Avis, drivers must be at least 25 years of age.

You will also be required to have an international driving permit, which can be applied for at select Post Offices in the UK. In addition to this, you will need to make sure you have a Mastercard or Visa Debit card in the main driver's name to get your Puerto Rico car hire.

When you get your car hire in Puerto Rico, it's important that you familiarise yourself with the driving rules before setting off, as they differ somewhat from the UK. One of the main differences is that you will drive on the right side of the road. Speeds limits are slightly lower than in the UK. You can go 25mph in urban and 45mph in rural areas, whilst the limit is 65mph on motorways. Seatbelts must be worn at all times, both in the front and backseats, whilst driving in Puerto Rico. Drink-driving is a serious offence on the island, and anyone found to have more than 80 micrograms of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood will be prosecuted accordingly. Before setting off in your hire car, it is always best to check with the local driving authority whether there have been any recent law changes.
