It is possible to go over land by rental car. AVIS, Enterprise and THRIFTY have offices close to the ferry in Ceiba, where you will have to drop off the car, because the agencies do not permit taking the car to Vieques.
From Ceiba you can fly to Vieques for $40 with VAL. Or take the ferry for $2/person. Check THE SCHEDULE to plan your trip in advance.
Once in Vieques, your hotel or guesthouse will often provide transportation from the airport or ferry dock. Or you can take a publico (a communal taxi). Most people on the island speak at least some English, so you won’t have any problems getting to where you’re going.
We recommend you rent a car once you are on the island, because many of our most beautiful beaches and interesting vistas are hard to reach without one.
