That's what I did the first time I visited Puerto Rico.
Wasn't 100% sure of the route from the airport to my hotel (or even where the car rental place was), how I would handle Spanish road signs / markings and didn't fancy my first attempt at trying out a left hand drive automatic in the dark so picked the car up next morning.
