Question

Is a passport required to fly to Puerto Rico?

Question

Are businesses open and operating normally on the Island?

Answer

All hotels, restaurants and small businesses remain open for tourists with no capacity limits.

Guided tours are also open, however you should always call your tour guide/company to confirm any tour reservations.

Question

What currency is used in Puerto Rico?

Answer

Because Puerto Rico is a commonwealth of United States, the island's currency is the US dollar. This makes spending money easy for US tourists and travelers, who will also have access to American banks and ATMs.

Question

Should you rent a car during your stay?

Answer

If you want to explore sites and towns outside of the San Juan area, then renting a car would be a good idea. All US car rentals have a presence in the island, along with taxi companies that are available from 5AM to 12AM. Another alternative is to book an excursion or day tour with some of the touring companies offered on the island. It would be best to connect with tour operators directly for additional information about their operation status and specific protocols.
