Parking at the Wyndham and El Conquistador
You may elect to rent a car in Puerto Rico. INFORMS does not have arrangements with any car rental companies; we find that our attendees do much better using the online travel services (Expedia.com; Orbitz.com; Travelocity.com). Parking at the two hotels is as follows:
- Wyndham: for hotel guests and INFORMS attendees staying at other hotels, $15 per day self-parking (with in and out privileges).
- El Conquistador: for hotel guests, $15 per day self-parking (with in and out privileges).
