Ground Transportation

Last updated: Jul 23, 2025
Taxis

Taxis are readily available outside the baggage claim area. They typically operate on fixed rates to major towns and tourist zones like Rincón, Isabela, and Mayagüez. Ride-sharing services like Uber may have limited availability, so traditional taxis are the more reliable option.

Rental Cars

Renting a car is the most common and recommended way to get around from BQN. Several major car rental agencies, including Avis, Budget, Hertz, and Enterprise, have counters inside the terminal building, located in the baggage claim area. It is highly advisable to book your vehicle in advance, especially during peak travel seasons.

Public Transportation

There is no formal, scheduled public bus or train system that directly serves Rafael Hernández Airport. The local transportation option, known as "públicos" (shared vans), operates on semi-fixed routes without a strict schedule and is generally not a practical choice for travelers with luggage or those unfamiliar with the system.
