Lodging
Whether you’re living that budget life or that bougie life, it’s easy to reserve lodging in Puerto Rico that suits your needs. You don’t have to settle for mainstream hotels either—it’s all about choosing what fits your personality and which Puerto Rico highlights you want to see first.
- Airbnb: 5-star accommodations in San Juan average $75-100/night

- Resorts: All-inclusive rates average $150-200/night—easy to plan, but usually far from local scenes
- VRBO: Condos, houses, and villas rented out by locals and retirees for $60-100/night—ideal for an authentic PR experience
Transportation
Touring Puerto Rico might just be the easiest thing you’ll ever do. Your local travel expert can set up a car rental, show you how to use Uber in Puerto Rico, or share their public-transit know-how.
Car rentals: All you need is your U.S. driver’s license and a GPS, and you’re ready to see some off-the-beaten-path Puerto Rico attractions. By using Puerto Rico’s three major highways, you can drive around the island in under 6 hours.
Uber: Since Uber serves greater San Juan (essentially the northeastern half of Puerto Rico), it’s super easy to get a safe ride home. An Uber is usually about the same price as a taxi but are generally more reliable and don’t require you to carry cash.
Taxis: Getting a taxi in Puerto Rico can be expensive, but they’re also easy to find—just ask a Hero how to catch them. Puerto Rico is very safe on the whole, so don’t stress about taking a cab.
Ferries: To get to Puerto Rico’s incredible beaches, it’s often necessary to take a ferry. Puerto Rico’s smaller islands like Old San Juan, Vieques, and Culebra are all accessible by ferry. The ferries are seriously cheap too, averaging about $2 per ride.
Flights: Inter-island flights are a great way to travel while saving time and money. If your trip includes popular Puerto Rico vacation spots like Culebra and Vieques, definitely consider flying from San Juan or Ponce—the flight times average 30 minutes, giving you much more time to chill.
