Puerto Rico/LONG TERM CAR RENTAL AND CORP HOUSING

Question
I may be coming to PR in July and staying 18 months.  Do not want to ship a car but get longterm lease or rental.  Also need Corp housing.  What are your suggestions for best areas, and car rental/leasing agencies?

Answer
Mary,

The best areas to live in if you are alone/single are Old San Juan, Condado and Isla Verde.  These offer the best night life, are close to beaches and are more secure, since they are tourist areas.  If you are coming with a family I'd suggest Guaynabo.  All are in San Juan.

For car rentals and leasings, you can contact all the typical rental agencies (Budget, Hertz, Enterprise, etc.).  Local companies are Charlie (www.charliecars.com), Popular Auto (www.popularautorentals.com) or Target (www.targetrentacar.com).

Good luck,

Puerto Rico

Expertise

I live in Puerto Rico so can answer travel related questions, as well as adapting to the local culture. I own a business in Puerto Rico, so can also answer questions related to that and similar business issues. I CANNOT answer detailed legal questions, as I have had almost no experience in this area. This includes being unable to answer questions on inheritance, trusts, probate, etc.

Experience

I have lived in Puerto Rico for 7 years, and have traveled the island (as well as surrounding islands) extensively.
