Before you rent
Choose wisely. In 2019 we introduced our multi-product system which helps you choose a car based on your needs and easily see the final price. Car rental insurance can be tricky to navigate and often isn't what you expect, by booking with us direct you'll receive the correct insurance for your rental.
When you collect your vehicle
Plan ahead. We recommend planning your route before you leave, especially when renting a car at an airport. Are you sure where you're meeting your chaperone or where the rental desk is? Your confirmation email will have the contact information for the location, so we suggest saving the number in your phone ahead of time.
Have the correct documents ready. We try and keep the check in process as painless as possible but we do need to process certain information for legal reasons so having these ready ahead of time can help speed up the process. Make sure you have your booking details ready, along with your driving licence, passport and valid credit card.
Complete a vehicle check. It's essential when you are taken to your car you complete a Vehicle Condition Report (VCR) and note any existing damage, paying particular attention to the five damage hotspots. If you don't report this, you may be liable for these damages when you return the vehicle. We don't want you to get caught out, so we've put together a handy vehicle inspection video to help you check everything thoroughly.
While you rent
Take care. Unfortunately you may be liable for any damage caused to a vehicle in your care, and this will vary depending on the product you choose. A large proportion of damages to any car can be dings you pick up in car parks, so be mindful when space is limited and park further away and walk a little further to your destination.
When you return your vehicle
Complete a vehicle check. It's time to carry out a VCR again and even more essential to fully log any damage, no matter how small, to ensure you are fully covered and we can process your return effectively. Be sure to check the vehicle as before, paying special attention to the five damage hotspots.

Punta Cana, located on the eastern tip of the Dominican Republic, is renowned for its white-sand beaches, crystal-clear Caribbean waters, and all-inclusive resorts. The area around Plaza Palma Verde, situated on Boulevard Turístico del Este, is a convenient central spot for travelers arriving in Punta Cana who wish to pick up a rental car and begin exploring the region.
Renting a car in Punta Cana is highly recommended if you want the freedom to explore beyond your resort. The area is fairly spread out, and while taxis and hotel shuttles are common, they can quickly become expensive. With a car, you can easily visit local beaches, discover hidden gems, take day trips to Higuey, or explore inland villages at your own pace.
Driving in Punta Cana is generally straightforward, especially along the main roads like Boulevard Turístico del Este and Autopista del Coral, which are well-paved and clearly marked. However, side streets and local neighborhoods may have uneven surfaces, potholes, or limited signage. Local drivers can be assertive, and it’s important to stay alert, particularly in areas with mixed traffic like scooters and pedestrians.
Traffic is lighter compared to large cities, but roundabouts and intersections can be chaotic due to unclear right-of-way rules. Use your horn as a friendly signal if needed—it’s common practice here.
Speed limits typically follow these guidelines:
Urban areas: 40–50 km/h (25–31 mph)
Highways: 80–100 km/h (50–62 mph)
Always obey posted limits, as police checkpoints are common. Carry your driver’s license, rental agreement, and passport copy with you while driving.
Parking near Plaza Palma Verde is usually straightforward with shopping centers and plazas offering private parking. If parking in public areas, avoid leaving valuables visible.
Fuel is available at several nearby gas stations, most of which accept both cash and card. However, it’s wise to carry some Dominican pesos (DOP), especially if venturing outside tourist zones.
There are no train stations in Punta Cana. Public transportation mainly consists of guaguas (small, shared minivans) and regional bus services that run between Punta Cana, Bávaro, Verón, and cities like Higuey and Santo Domingo. These options are very affordable, but schedules can be irregular and stops are informal. Renting a car is much more convenient for most travelers!
