Cruise Nurse Posted April 23, 2006 #2 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Does any one have a suggestion on a car rental company that I can pick up at the airport and drop off at the pier? Sailing AOS in Jan We checked and there are no drop off places at the pier in San Juan for rental cars, however we have rented a car from Budget at the airport and you can drop it off at the Normandie Hotel which is in Old San Juan and take a taxi to the pier. According to the hotel the taxi fare is around $10 to get to the pier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Normandie is not in OSJ, it's between OSJ and Condado. I'd say it's about 2 miles from OSJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeiEdy Posted April 24, 2006 #4 Share Posted April 24, 2006 We rented from Hertz at the airport and choose to return car to Ashford Avenue location. When we rented the car, the confirmation stated to pick this location for cruise ship passengers. The confirmation stated would allow $5 for cab to the pier. When we returned the car, they provided a ride (in the same car we rented) back to the pier. The location was only 5 to 10 minutes away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_a142 Posted April 24, 2006 #5 Share Posted April 24, 2006 We used www.charliecars.com they met us at the airport took us to their rental depot and when we were finished we dropped it of at their other depot in Condado they then took us to the Pan Am pier free of charge. It's not Hertz i.e no big plush offices, :eek: but then it's not Hertz rates either. Had a car that had done 2000 miles and was happy with the price.:) Regards Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheik Posted April 25, 2006 #6 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I strongly recommend Charlie!! Normally I rent at Hertz of other well known companies, but this time I did Charlie. Mainly because of the positive reviews at this board. Charlie has 3 offices, airport, Isla Verde and San Juan. New cars, no problems at all.

jmo1 Posted April 27, 2006 #7 Share Posted April 27, 2006 We rented with Target Rent-A-Car http://www.puertoricocarrentals.com/ They picked us up at our hotel, Courtyard Isla Verde for no extra charge. They apparently have an office at the airport also. When you return the car (5 -10 minutes from the pier), they will take you to the pier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porky113 Posted May 4, 2006 #8 Share Posted May 4, 2006 We used Hertz on Ashford and then returned it to the airport. Toured the Island in 3 days after our cruise and they are crazy drivers. Loved the drive to Ponce and the west coast. Good luck Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
encore Posted June 5, 2006 #9 Share Posted June 5, 2006 Seems driving in San Juan is a bit wild, I think I will include the car rental insurance, a bit confused about what they offer, I called Charlie and L & M, they both offer two options: $500 decuctiable for $12.95 or $19.95 for nondeductable. The lady said they are full coverage covers everything. $7 is not much so I will go for it. Just wondering, any one has experience or comments regarding this? Thanks in advance.
