Getting around Vieques
Car, Bike and Scooter Rentals Info
Isla de Vieques is unlike many other destinations on the Caribbean. In Vieques there are no casinos or golf courses or big hotels on the coast. Tourists come to Vieques to see the "real Caribbean"... the Caribbean the way nature intended it to be. In order for you to experience Isla de Vieques, adequate transportation or having a car rental is a MUST. Driving around Vieques is truly an adventure and attraction on it's own.
There are many beaches that are only accessible by car, preferably a jeep. Many publicos (public transportation) will not drive to these areas which in my opinion are the most beautiful on the island. Some beaches may take you as long as 10-15 minutes to get there from the road entrance. Besides getting a car rental, you can opt to rent bicycles, scooters, or if you are an avid hiker you can walk the trails. Car Rentals Services in Vieques CAR RENTAL BOOKING TIP: Immediately after making your accommodations reservation, reserve your car rental as well. It is almost impossible to rent a car in Vieques during holidays and high season unless you book them ahead of time. The car rental companies will also charge you more if you wait until the last minute. So.... again, make your car rental reservation asap. - Acevedo's Car Rentals (787) 741-4380 - Chepito's Car Rentals (787) 741-8691 - Island Car Rentals (787) 741-1666 - Marcos Car Rentals (787) 741-1388 - Maritza Car Rentals (787) 741-0078 - Martineau Car Rental (787) 741-0087, (787) 741-3948 - Vieques Car Rental (787) 741-1037
Drive safety in ViequesWhen driving please watch for horses, cows, dogs, and goats crossing the roads, one of the charms of Vieques... really :) 
The roads in Vieques are narrow, they may seem as if they are a one lane road, especially the roads on the hillsides on the interior of the island, THEY ARE NOT! So please drive slow, take your time, enjoy your beautiful scenery.

During the times of arrivals usually there are publicos ready to take you to your destination. The drivers are very friendly, and they know the island very well. They can be a great source of information for great places to eat, great beach spots and great deals on the island. Most speak English, but don't be afraid to try "un poquito de Español" (a little Spanish). Again, be advised that most publicos will not transport to the more remote beaches. They are a great form of transportation if you are going into the towns of Esperanza or Isabel Segunda. When you call, you can choose to share a ride, which is how locals use publicos. If you choose not to share a ride, you may have to pay the full fare. COSTS The fares are very cheap and they are regulated. Fares can range from $2.00 per person, to $5.00. You can call the drivers and have them pick you up at a specific time. Note: If you share a ride, know that you may not be the first to be dropped off, so give yourself some extra time if you have to be somewhere at a specific time.
