Are you traveling to Culebra? Do you need to know how to get from the ferry dock to the airport? Well, we have had this question a couple of times recently so I thought I would just post a map.

The distance is about eight tenths of a mile and can be walked in ten to fifteen minutes (if you have eighty pounds of luggage the time will vary). Please note, because one of the roads is one way I have highlighted both in case you are driving.

If you are coming to Culebra and are interested in land based transportation advice to get you to Fajardo so that you can catch the ferry, the following might offer you some options. First off, it is highly recommended that you don NOT take your rental car on the Culebra cargo ferry from Fajardo. In most cases you will actually break the rental contract if you do as it is generally prohibited for insurance reasons. Additionally, it would not be all that uncommon for your car not to get on your designated ferry, as priority is given to commercial vehicles & residents.
Probably your easiest alternative would be to take a taxi, or have a car service meet you at the airport. As of this writing, May 5, 2008 a taxi will cost between $60-$100 and will take between an hour to an hour and a half depending on the traffic (p.s. – Friday afternoons could take even longer). A reputable taxi service that the Palmetto Guesthouse recommends is Al’s Car Public Service. Mr. Alvaro Cuellar speaks English & Spanish & generally charges closer to the $60 range. You can book in advance with Al by phoning 787-590-9001
Lastly, you could rent a car. Leaseway (787) 791-5900 will rent you a one way car from $95 (economy car, which includes their Fajardo drop off fee.They can pick you up at the San Juan International (787) 806-5000.
No matter which option you choose, it is ALWAYS best to phone to confirm & to make arrangements in advance.
