You step through the arrival gates and the humid Caribbean air brushes past your face — a quick reminder that San Juan moves at a different pace than an airport terminal. Outside, a driver awaits with a clear name sign; within minutes a comfortable sedan or minivan eases onto PR-18 and then PR-26, the highway that ferries you between Luis Muñoz Marín International (SJU) and the city’s hotel corridors.

Confirm flight and arrival terminal
Send your flight number and arrival terminal ahead of time and recheck 24 hours before travel so the driver tracks delays.
Pack luggage smartly
Limit carry-ons per passenger and tag checked bags; private vehicles have space but multiple large suitcases can require a larger vehicle.

Morning and late-afternoon rush hours can add 15–30 minutes between SJU and Condado; schedule with buffer time for connections.
Bring local currency and tip
Most drivers accept card but keep small bills for tolls and a 10–15% tip if service was prompt and courteous.
Phone with roaming or local SIM
Needed for driver communication and to receive confirmation texts.
Charged power bank
Keeps your phone alive during delays and while navigating with maps.
Soft-sided luggage
Easier to fit into trunks of sedans and compact vans used for transfers.
Light rain jacket or compact umbrella
Short tropical downpours are common—stay dry during dash from terminal to vehicle.
