Look under transportation on this website. Several are listed. I am renting from Jerry's Jeeps in July.

My advice is to stay away from Jerry's Jeep rentals and if you do decide to use him get a signed contract UP FRONT! He quoted us one price and then decided he'd tack on another day which increased the total amount owed by quite a bit. We also had ants in the jeep. Nice huh! Go to someone with better business practices.

Trisha,

I'm sorry you were dissatisfied with Jerry's practices, but may I interject that I've always been 100% happy with my dealings with him. Ants do live on Culebra and parking near a colony can allow them access to any car, particularly if there are any foodstuffs or spilled sweet liquids. I'm not sure how it happened that you were charged for an extra day. Did you return it at the agreed upon time? A late return can cost a small business the next customer; those jeeps are fully booked during high season.

Ada, let me offer you a good method for selecting a rental. If appearance and accessories are of primary importance, rent from one of the larger companies, such as Carlos. His vehicles are new and loaded with stereos and AC. They are also $15-20 more per day, plus whatever agency insurance is offered is vital. They are very persnickety about the tiny scratches that accumulate on their car's shiny finish in the normal course of driving along Culebra's narrow acacia-thorn-lined roads.

A banger from Jerry is more economical but may not satisfy those who enjoy driving a showy car while on vacation.

Enjoy your trip!
Doug

We always rent from Carlos, but not because we enjoy driving a "showy" car while on Culebra. (Is that even possible haha)

We have always found the people at Carlos Jeep Rental extremely friendly and pleasant to deal with. If we've had a problem with the vehicle they bend over backwards to make sure we're happy. Last time I was on the island there was a rock stuck in a wheel making a horrendous screeching noise and Carlos himself took the time to take the wheel apart and fix the problem. We have never found them to be "persnickety" in regards to the vehicles condition upon return ... and my kids usually make sure they are not in perfect condition.

BTW, I have heard nothing but great things about Jerry and his Jeeps also. In my opinion, you can't go wrong at either place! Doug is correct that Jerry's are a bit cheaper in price but more "used" and Carlos are a bit more in price but "newer".

Folks will find both places wonderful to deal with 99% of the time!

Frank
