Top tips when hiring a car in Dominican Republic

  • Book in Advance: Secure your rental car reservation before you arrive in the Dominican Republic, especially during peak travel seasons, to ensure availability and potentially save money with advance booking discounts.
  • Choose the Right Insurance: Understand the insurance options offered by the car rental company and consider purchasing additional coverage, especially for liability and collision damage, to protect yourself in case of accidents or theft.

  • Inspect the Vehicle: Before driving off, thoroughly inspect the rental car for any existing damage or defects. Take photos or videos of any dents, scratches, or issues and ensure they are documented on the rental agreement to avoid disputes upon return.

  • Know the Local Driving Laws: Familiarize yourself with the driving laws and regulations in the Dominican Republic, including speed limits, traffic signs, and rules of the road. Be aware that driving conditions may differ from what you're accustomed to, especially in rural areas.

  • Be Mindful of Road Conditions: While major highways and roads in tourist areas are generally well-maintained, some rural roads may be in poor condition or lack proper signage. Exercise caution, especially when driving at night, and be prepared for unexpected obstacles such as potholes or livestock on the road.
