        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in San Juan?",
        "answer": "Luis Munoz Marin International Airport sits about seven miles east of downtown San Juan. Taxis operate from a fixed-rate system outside the terminals, making them predictable and widely used, with fares to the Condado and Old San Juan areas typically ranging from fifteen to twenty-five dollars. Ride-share services including Uber are available and often slightly cheaper than taxis. The Tren Urbano metro system has a station at the airport and connects to Santurce and Bayamon, though its coverage of the tourist areas is limited. Public buses called Metrobus are inexpensive but slow and less convenient with luggage. Car rentals are plentiful at the airport and are popular for exploring the island beyond the city. Most visitors rely on taxis or ride-share services for the initial trip from the airport to their hotel."

Booking last-minute can push prices up to $733, so for peak summer travel or holiday periods like Thanksgiving and Christmas — when San Juan is especially popular — you'd want to book even earlier, closer to the 5–6 month mark or beyond, to lock in the best fares before inventory tightens.",
