The Car Rental Companies above are just some of the agents on
the island. The remainder can be found listed in the Vieques Information Page
on the website by phone.
About Car Rentals:
The cars available at the different agencies range from older
2 and 4 wheel Drive jeeps, Suzukis, Geo Trackers and Troopers to new Jeep
Wranglers and Liberties. All are kept running and licensed, regulated agencies
stand behind their vehicles and services. If you choose to rent from
unregulated, illegal, or fly-by-night individuals, it is buyer beware. All of
the agencies listed in either page of Enchanted-Isle.Com are licensed and
regulated by the Puerto Rican Government, have to meet certain standards
and business practices. They can be fined or lose their licenses, if
complaints are filed against them. This is not the case with unlicensed
rentals.

When to Rent:
It is recommended that you rent your vehicles as far in
advance as possible. If you are coming to Vieques during the period of
mid-December through the end of April at least, you should make your
reservations 6 - 8 months in advance as this is the high season. The rest of
the year, you should probably try to rent at least 2 months in advance to
reserve the car you want. There are times when you still don't need to rent
much before you arrive, but this is a gray area, which seems to be getting
harder to discern every year. It's only a short call to be sure you can go to
your favorite secluded beach. Don't be disappointed.

Traveler Tips and the Laws:
-
When driving please watch for horses, cows, dogs, and goats
crossing the roads, one of the charms of Vieques. The roads in Vieques are
narrow, they may seem as if they are a one lane road, especially the roads
on the hillsides on interior of the island, THEY ARE NOT! So please drive
slow, take your time, enjoy your surroundings and breath the fresh air.
-
Wear your seatbelt, fines are $50 per person (driver is
responsible for passengers).
-
Cows, horses and Bulls at night are still an extreme hazard
as many blend with the darkness. They are large enough to "Total" a
car and seriously injure the occupants.
-
Be Aware that the Policia do occasionally set up road side
checks and administer breathalyzer tests, if you seem to have had to much to
drink.
-
Drinking and Driving IS against the law, no matter what you
may see someone else doing. It's not an acceptable excuse that so and so
was doing it.
-
Always wear your seatbelt - it's the law!
-
Speed Limit is 35mph on the main roads, 25 in Barrios unless
posted.
-
Speed limit is 10-15mph in town and beach roads
-
NO ESTACIONE means NO PARKING
-
Yellow and blue curbs are NO PARKING ZONES
-
A Curb with a broken whit line is 15 minute parking and
solid white curb is full term parking.
-
Always stop at every intersection, many do not have signs.
-
If you are involved in an accident, call the police (787)
741-2020, call the rental company and get a report for them.
-
It is Illegal to drive on the beach. You will be fined.
-
DO NOT LOCK YOUR CAR AT THE BEACH - leave a window open, and
do not leave valuables in the car or unattended at the beach
-
DO LOCK YOUR CAR - in town, at restaurants, at your lodging
-
Respect the locals. Ask us if we speak English first. Most
of us do and will if you are polite.
-
Never throw trash in the water and avoid bringing glass to
the beach
Respect the environment, DO NOT LITTER!
Besides, it's against the law, and it is a very LARGE fine!
