FAQ
How old do I have to be to rent a car in the Dominican Republic?
You have to be at least 18 years old to rent a car in the Dominican Republic, though, so some suppliers have a minimum age of 21. If you're under 25, you'll be charged an additional Young Driver Fee.
Can I return a car rented in Punta Cana in Santo Domingo?
Yes, a one-way trip between cities in the Dominican Republic is possible with a rental car. Not all suppliers allow this, though, so you'll need to make sure you use Santo Domino as your desired drop-off location when searching for a car.
Do I need an International Driving Permit in the Dominica Republic?
If your license is in the Latin alphabet, you won't need an IDP. If your license is in another type of alphabet (e.g., in Arabic, Japanese, Chinese, or Russian)
Can I travel to Haiti with a car rented in Punta Cana?
