Should I Rent a Car in Puerto Vallarta

What’s the best way to get around Puerto Vallarta? Shuttles might seem convenient, but typically, they only go to major attractions, making it more difficult to get to smaller attractions or towns. Hiring a driver can get expensive, and public transportation forces you to adhere to someone else’s schedule on your vacation.

When you rent a car from Enterprise, you have the flexibility to customize your trip. Enjoy the fun things you want to do when it is convenient for your schedule – no one else’s. Interested in walking along El Centro? Or would you rather soak up the sun at one of Puerto Vallarta’s many beaches? With your Enterprise Rental Car, you can arrive early (or later) and visit these exciting attractions without crowded tour buses.

Whether you’re looking for customization or convenience, renting a car through Enterprise will help you make the most of your Puerto Vallarta vacation.
