Taxis and Uber

If you choose not to rent a car, taxis, and now Uber too, are good and fairly inexpensive ways of getting around Puerto Rico, especially around the tourist zones in San Juan. You can either wave one down on the street or call one by phone (see directory below) and they’ll take you anywhere in Puerto Rico. You can also ask the concierge at your hotel for a list of recommended taxis in the area. You can also use Uber.

Tourist taxis have fixed tourism zone rates and are painted white with a “Taxi Turístico” logo-label on the door. Taxis authorized by the Puerto Rico Tourism Company are available for non-tourist areas as well. Some areas have fixed rates from San Juan and some are metered.

The public system is used by locals and can also advantageous for budget savvy tourists. At the center of each town there is a publico station. The fees and routes are typically negotiable and a little cheaper than Taxi Turistico rates. However, the vehicles are usually a lot older. But with some planning, you can pretty much get where you need to go.
