Chauffeur service across Puerto Rico: what to know

Most travellers land at Luis Munoz Marin International Airport (SJU) in Carolina, just east of San Juan. The drive to Isla Verde takes 10-15 minutes, to Condado 15-25 minutes, and to Old San Juan 20-30 minutes. Aguadilla (BQN) on the west coast and Ponce (PSE) on the south coast also receive flights from the mainland. The standard chauffeured pickup is at the designated pick-up zone outside baggage claim. Meet and greet inside the terminal is an add-on, and add-ons are only available in selected locations. Flight tracking means a late arrival from New York or Miami is covered.
