Tips for renting a car in Dominican Republic

  • Many travellers in the Dominican Republic tend to go and explore neighboring countries, like Haiti, or take road trips to experience the diverse landscapes of the island. Most major rental companies allow cross-border travel, but it's crucial to inform them in advance. If you want to travel cross-border, be prepared for the need to purchase additional insurance specifically tailored for cross-border travel. This extra coverage ensures that you’ll be protected while exploring other countries. Also, keep in mind that you typically cannot pay the cross-border fee online. You'll need to settle it in person when picking up your rental car, so budget accordingly for this essential aspect of your journey.
  • When planning a visit to the Dominican Republic with your children, it's essential to understand and adhere to local car seat regulations for the safety of your youngesttravellerss. Before you travel, research the specific requirements for car seats based on your child's age, weight, and height. Call ahead and speak with a representative at your car rental agency to ensure they offer the correct safety equipment and potentially provide insight into local standards.
  • While renting a car in the Dominican Republic, you may encounter a variety of vehicle types. It's important to pay attention to your car rental reservation and choose a transmission type that suits your preference.

Depending on the rental agency's availability, selecting an automatic car may come with an additional fee.
