Hello,
I will be traveling to Puerto Rico on business during the second half of this month, so I just visited your Web site to make a reservation. I plan to rent a 4-door vehicle, because I will be traveling with three colleagues and want to be mindful of their comfort. At the same time. I am on a limited budget, so I intend to book the least expensive vehicle of this type.
Before finalizing the booking, though, there are two pieces of information I would like to have, both of which I was unable to locale on your site. First, if I pick up the car at your branch in San Juan and drop it off at either your Ponce or Aguadilla branch at the end of the rental period, will I be charged a drop-off fee? Second. I am unfamiliar with the roads and the traffic on the island, so I would like to add a navigation system to my order Would that be possible? If so, how much would the weekly rate be?
Thank you for your assistance.
