Add a car seat to your Puerto Rico car hire reservation if you're planning to travel with the kids. Regulations change from one location to another, but using a child seat suited to their age, weight and size is always the safest approach.
Make sure you have the necessary documents when collecting your car. As a general rule, bring a valid driver's licence, a credit card with enough balance for the excess (most companies don't accept debit cards), and additional photo ID. Your booking confirmation will spell it all out.
Driving in Spain may take some getting used to if it's your first time. Be aware that traffic travels on the right side of the road.
