Ceiba is the home of Puerto Rico's ferry terminal to Vieques and Culebra — the gateway to the Spanish Virgin Islands. With JF Car Rental, your vehicle is delivered to Ceiba so you can explore the east coast and reach the ferry on your schedule.
A Fleet for the East Coast
From the Ceiba ferry terminal to El Yunque and the Fajardo marinas, our SUVs, sedans, and minivans handle every east-coast drive. Transparent pricing, no hidden fees.
Minivan — Ferry Run with Luggage
Families crossing to Vieques carry coolers, beach bags, and suitcases. A minivan gets everyone and everything to the terminal in one trip.
SUV — El Yunque & the East Coast
Ceiba sits 30 minutes from El Yunque and 20 from Las Cabezas de San Juan. Clearance handles the rainforest road and the reserve's rougher lots.

The PR-3 to Fajardo and the PR-66 back to San Juan are good highways. A sedan is the economical choice for a short east-coast stay.

From Ceiba Port to Vieques and Culebra on La Lancha
Ceiba is home to Puerto Rico's passenger ferry terminal and is the departure point most travelers use for Vieques and Culebra. Locals call the crossing la lancha. Both islands leave from the same terminal on PR-3, so you drive your JF rental to Ceiba, park at the terminal, and board as a passenger.
The crossings are short: roughly an hour to Vieques and about 45 minutes to Culebra. Sailings sell out on weekends and holidays, so buy your tickets online before the day you travel and aim for a morning crossing, when the water tends to be calmer.
Your rental car stays on the mainland. Passenger tickets do not include vehicles, and the limited car space on the cargo ferry has to be reserved separately and well in advance. We schedule your pickup and return around your crossing, so the car is not sitting in a parking lot while you are out on the island.
- Ceiba terminal to Vieques: about 1 hour by ferry
- Ceiba terminal to Culebra: about 45 minutes by ferry
- Passenger ferry only — your rental car stays parked at the terminal
- Buy tickets online ahead of time; island sailings fill up on weekends and holidays
- We time delivery and return around your ferry schedule — tell us your crossing when you book
