It depends on your plans. If you're staying in San Juan and sticking to city attractions, you can rely on taxis, rideshares, and public transport. However, if you're planning to explore other parts of the island (like beaches or El Yunque), renting a car might be more convenient.

Question

What are the transportation options?

Answer

For guests who won’t be renting a car during their stay, Uber is a convenient and reliable option for getting to our venue—it’s a short ride from the hotel. While Uber works great for the wedding day, we do recommend renting a car if you’d like more flexibility to explore the island. Puerto Rico has so many beautiful spots to discover, and having your own transportation makes it easy to enjoy everything it has to offer. We can’t wait to celebrate with you!
