About Renting a Car at Palmas del Mar Beach Resort Center

Palmas del Mar is an exclusive resort and residential area on Puerto Rico's southeastern coast, 90 km from San Juan and 20 km south of Humacao. With one rental company on-site, guests can explore the pristine southeast coast on their own terms. Palmas del Mar is surrounded by private beaches, two golf courses, and a marina with 700 slips.

From here, it's 25 km to Yabucoa, known for its sugarcane fields, and 30 km to Maunabo with the picturesque Punta Tuna Lighthouse. Book your rental car well in advance – there is only one rental company in the area and availability may be limited during high season. Drive north on PR-906 along the coast for one of Puerto Rico's most beautiful driving routes.

Visit Playa Lucia outside Yabucoa, 20 km away, for a beach without tourist crowds. Do I need a rental car if I stay at the Palmas del Mar resort? The resort has internal transportation, but to explore the southeast coast, Punta Tuna, or Humacao, a rental car is very convenient.

How do I get from Palmas del Mar to San Juan? Via PR-53 north and then PR-3, the trip to San Juan takes approximately 1.5 hours. The PR-53 motorway has tolls – bring cash or an EZ-Pass-compatible card.

Are there good restaurants to drive to from Palmas del Mar? Yes, drive 15 km north to Humacao center for local seafood restaurants, or 30 km south to Maunabo for authentic Puerto Rican food by the coast.

We compare prices from all major providers at Palmas del Mar Beach Resort Center so you can see the total cost upfront — including insurance, fuel terms and any extras. Most bookings include free cancellation up to 48 hours before pickup, giving you flexibility if your plans change.
