Maybe possible if the leaser allows it. Normally to ship you need the title or a letter from the bank allowing the vehicle to leave the mainland.
HOWEVER......I am not aware of anybody shipping a leassed car to PR.
As to taxes, you will likely need to call the tax office to check and get an extimate. Even if others have done it, your amount if any will be different.
RE: the taxes, that's my main concern. I haven't actually leased the car yet, I just think it would be easier to do in Miami than San Juan, plus the cars cost less in Miami.
Everything I've read about bringing a car into PR seems to apply to owned cars.
I'm hoping that by bringing a leased car with me, I can do so without paying the taxes.
Most banks will not let you do that unless you're a military. You will still have to pay taxes in the island since you will de required to register the car in PR.
What is the name of the government office I will have to deal with to pay taxes when importing a vehicle? Does anybody have their contact info, and have you dealt with them before?
