Tips for a cheaper car rental in San Juan

Compare several rental sites at once. The cheapest company in San Juan changes with your dates, so search DiscoverCars and Kayak before you book.
Book early and pick free cancellation. Rental prices usually rise close to the date, and a free cancellation booking lets you rebook if prices fall.
Compare airport and city pick-up. Picking up at SJU is easiest, but offices in town can be cheaper because they skip airport fees.
Return the car with a full tank. Prepaid fuel and refueling charges at the counter cost more than filling up yourself.
Check what your credit card already covers. Many cards include rental car insurance, so you may not need the extra cover at the counter.
