Vieques City Car Hire

Vieques is a small island about 10 km southeast of Puerto Rico's mainland, and Isabel Segunda in downtown is the island's main town with ferry terminal and most services. With a rental car on Vieques you can easily reach the famous beaches such as Playa Caracas (approximately 8 km south) and the magical bioluminescent lagoon Mosquito Bay. Isabel Segunda is located in the northern part of the island and houses Fuerte Conde de Mirasol, the last Spanish fort built in the Americas.

The ferry from Ceiba on the mainland arrives here, and from here it is only 20 minutes by car to Esperanza on the south coast. Rent a car directly at the ferry terminal in Isabel Segunda for the smoothest possible start. The roads on Vieques are narrow and partly unpaved – choose a car with some ground clearance.

Visit Mosquito Bay in the evening, approximately 12 km from downtown, and park at the lagoon's edge for an unforgettable experience. Do I need a rental car on Vieques? Yes, public transportation is very limited and most beaches and attractions are best reached by car.

How do I get to Vieques by car? You cannot drive a car to Vieques – take a ferry or fly from Ceiba and rent a car upon arrival. Are the roads on Vieques suitable for regular passenger cars?

Most paved roads can be handled by a standard car, but to reach remote beaches a SUV or four-wheel drive is recommended.
