Does anyone know if it is possible to bring a rental car on the ferry to culebra, and how much will it cost?
Do i need to make a reservation ahead and if so, how do i do that?

Thank you very much, and i hope someone is able to answer my questions.

I cant wait to visit Puerto Rico and especially Culebra

I believe only residents can bring a car on the island. You have to rent one when you get on the island. I rented one at Carlos' Jeeps. You can make a reservation online.

Thank you very much for your quick reply.
So if i want to spend some of my vacation on the main island and some on culebra, i will have to rent two cars.

If i arrive in San Juan and rent a car there, i will have to deliver it same place or is it possible pickup the car at one location and return the car in Fajardo???

And to go back from Culebra/Fajardo to San Juan will require another car?? Or maybe take a taxi.

Any good recommodations?

Hello Torben,

I live in culebra and run a guesthouse. One of my guests was able to bring a car rental on the ferry, but I'm not sure how he did it. I believe if you're able to pre-purchase your ticket via telephone, you would have no problem in getting your rental on the ferry. But when you purchase the ticket at the window, they might ask you for the car papers. Most rental places won't allow you to bring a car on the ferry.

But again, I am not sure how he did it.

also, you can look for Jerry's Car rental. His cars are cheaper than at Carlos Jeep Rental and it does the same work :)

Hope you enjoy Culebra

Both Avis and Enterprise offer the option of one-way rentals between San Juan and Fajardo. There is a drop-off fee, but they will take you to the ferry dock when you drop off the car in Fajardo or pick you up there if you are renting there and returning in San Juan. There may also be other companies that offer the one-way rentals, but we've only used Enterprise.

Rental companies will not allow you to bring your rental car on the ferry(check with the company or your contract). You have trouble when on one of the outer islands and you are SOL.
