The phone rings and rings and no one answers? Does that mean they’re closed? – The people working at the port, in the Vieques ferry and the Fajardo port, will rarely answer the phone to take your reservation. Unfortunately some of the Puerto Rican Government Offices simply don’t hire enough people to do the job right.

Can we rent a car in Puerto Rico and bring it to Vieques on the ferry? If you have a rental car in Puerto Rico, check with the car rental company, most car rental agencies will not allow you to take the car off the main island of Puerto Rico.
