Help us get from SJU to SIG

Author: D.O. (---.hsd1.mn.comcast.net) Date:   03-14-11 21:51 Hi! I'm flying into SJU renting a car and spending 4 days on the big island before heading to Culebra. Does anyone have a creative idea about how I can rent a car near SJU and return it without having to pay extra for a taxi to get to Isla Grande Airport? Knowing some rental places will pick you up and drop you off it seems like there should be a way... otherwise I'll have to presumably return the car to an SJU rental place, shuttle to the airport (probably away from SIG) and then pay a more expensive airport taxi fair back to the other airport... It seems like it would be much more cost effective to stay away from SJU when returning the car...

Author: Debbie (---.hsd1.ga.comcast.net) Date:   03-14-11 22:21 It only costs $15 to taxi from SJU to ISG. It's a set price. As crazy as traffic is in SJU, it would be worth it (to me) to take drop the car at SJU and take a taxi. The rental car centers are on site at SJU, and it's a short shuttle ride to the airport (5 mins) where you would make your way downstairs to get a cab to ISG. By the time you've driven around in traffic, you'll be ready to have someone drive you. LOL! Happy Diving! Debbie

Author: D.O. (---.hsd1.mn.comcast.net) Date:   03-14-11 22:48 Thanks Debbie! So it sounds like a taxi to ISG is the most sensible option. Would there be any advantage to avoiding the second trip to SJU (cost/time/etc) by taxing the taxi to ISG when we land at SJU and renting the car from there? When we get to the island it will be about 4pm and we'll be headed to our lodging in El Yunque and that's where we'll be coming from when we're dropping off the car and heading to Culebra. I know I'm asking for really specific details but it's my honeymoon and I'd like to make it as seamless as possible! These places are too beautiful to spend more time than necessary dinking around in the road or at an airport! :) D

If so, don't fly out of Isla Grande to Culebra, just head to Ceiba, which is very close to El Yunque, and fly to Culebra from there. As long as the car rental company you use has a location in the Fajardo area, I believe they will drive you to the airport or ferry dock after you return the car. Sue
