worst rental everPros: nothingCons: waited in line for an hour to check out the vehicle, One customer rep. to help with one person in front of me. At check out the rental agreement was in Spanish, they blindside you with an $1100 hold on your card, force you to take the insurance. The vehicle had no shocks or struts, you felt every bump. The trunk had leaks were all my luggage was wet. I'm writing to the company sixt for poor service and to bee compensated.
2.0 Mediocre16 Aug 2018
They didn't take the insurance.Pros: Nothing.Cons: I booked a car through priceline and using kayak. I booked the car and on the very same page priceline/kayak asks if I want insurance. I did and so I paid for it. When I got to the rental company, they told me that they didn't take the insurance and that I had to go through them. I asked how much it was and it was $100 dollars with a $1000 deposit. Yes, a thousand dollars. I cancelled the reservation there and just went to a resort instead.

Quoted price on Kayak is unrelated to the price you will payPros: Pickup is convenient to the airportCons: Get ready for a surprise when you arrive at the checkout counter to discover mandatory insurance, $1000 credit card holds, and lots of other fees in excess of what Kayak quoted you.
2.0 Mediocre20 Mar 2018
There was no rentalPros: Got to budget, and no 7 seaters available. Budget guy walked me over to National, where I was forced to pay double the reservation price to get the same vehicle I reserved.Cons: Got ripped off. Won't use this again.

Best deal in Punta CanaPros: Was cheapest deal at the airport rentals. Would rent again hereCons: The car battery died if you turned the lights on without the engine running, for 5 minutes. Literally 5 minutes to a dead battery. Had to have it jump-started twice and wish we would have been warned about that.

2.0 Mediocre14 Apr 2017
Terrible Experience with Budget in Dominican RepublicCons: The car was not ready when we got there and we had to be shuttled to another location to pick it up. I had purchased additional insurance on Expedia that I was then told when I arrived at Budget that that insurance was not valid for Budget nor in the Dominican Republic at all, so then I had to purchase another whole insurance. The person assisting me was rude and argumentative. He had me signing papers without even telling me what I was signing for nor what the price was going to be that I was committing/signing to. When I asked him the price he pitched a big fight and acted very immature and like I was an inconvenience. The car I got had tons and tons of dents all over it so I then had to make sure that they saw every single one so that I did not get scammed even more.
2.0 Mediocre8 Apr 2017
Dominican Republic must purchase additional insurance.Pros: Going off the path.Cons: The insurance is high, and you have no choice but to get it. FYI Get it because traffic laws are not enforced it's chaos.
3.6 Mediocre8 Mar 2017
Pros: There is not much I liked. Very disappointedCons: It was hard to communicate with the sales reps. We were told we had to carry the insurance even though a credit card covered it or we wouldn't have ended up with a vehicle. And the total price ended up being nearly twice the amount we were quoted.
6.4 Good5 Feb 2017
Pros: Car was clean. People helpful.Cons: That the hidden costs actually result in that the great deal found in internet came out to twice the cost I expected. I have never found the difference to be so huge having rented vehicles in many countries. You need to give clients a more realistic total. It is a very negative surprise to find what the cost really is when you are picking up the car, and you feel helpless to find and alternative solution. You have no alternative but to pay what they want.
2.0 Mediocre15 Jan 2017
Labguage, Insurance and other issuesPros: First, if an interpreter who is Dominican had not accompanied me to the counter, this rental agreement could not be executed. The Budget representative's English was poor. Also, The Budget representative would not accept that I have rental car insurance coverage. I would not be allowed to rent a vehicle with out taking out additional insurance . Then the price for the coverage was negotiated with the help of my interpreter. I was asked to sign a blank credit card slip and a full text page written in Spanish. I refused to sign both. All of this occurred on the pick up. The return had its own set of challenges. The experience makes me question renting a vehicle with Budget, through Kayak and/or in Punta Cana again.

Good car doesn't make up for insurance scam and poor customer servicePros: We had a Ford Explorer SUV that was able to fit our big group and was clean, drove perfectly, it would have been a 5 star review had there not been poor service with Europcar and the insurance scam they pulled on usCons: I rented a SUV from Europcar through carrentals.com I purchased the insurance package through car rentals and when I go to Punta Cana they told me that for the SUV I cannot have the insurance I bought, I must purchase Europcar's insurance package. They also said that they DID NOT have it in writing as to where that actual company policy exists. They also did not have any paperwork that showed the different insurance packages. It seemed very sketchy and when I asked if there was a supervisor to speak to the guy said he was the supervisor. My rental went from being $375 to almost $700 with the little insurance scam. I emailed Europcar's customer service the day it happened, after my 7 day trip I still had not heard anything and still two weeks later have not heard from them.

BEWARE. Reservations do not matterPros: Reservation made sept 2016 for the ONLY vacation I get all year at Christmas. Confirmed six times - even before leaving LAX! Arrived and was told "sorry lady we have no cars". Without all the horrible details here's a f ew: - 3.5 hours begging/crying at counter they did not care although my reservation was acknowledged. - Christmas day, traveling solo and disabled, they did not care. - Supervisor got on phone, he did not care. - I had nowhere to go and NO transportation. - 3.5 hours later "we found a car it will be $800" THIEVES AND LIARS. I witnessed FIVE other renters on either side of the Thrifty rental counter told the same thing.Cons: Learned from MANY locals, "they do it all the time". - my reservation was for 16 days $300. I would NEVER give that country one dime out of my own pocket although the USA has given them HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of dollars to rebuild. Their culture is deplorable. They need to be delivered from the rampant "deception with a smile."

Bad Car experiencePros: NOTHINGCons: I have rented cars for a little over 10 years now and this was the worst car experience. I rented a car in Punta cana for 13 days and when I got there around 2 pm when I go to pick my car up there wasn't any available. Not even that, before I left for my trip I confirmed it and they told me my car was available. Don't know how that works?? And to end the story short they triple the price? Worst car rental in the caribbean!!!! DONT RENT THRIFTY IN PUNTA CANA.

The car served us adiquately for the week.Pros: The car drove nice, but was a stiff ride in the back seat for two adults. We were able to get four adult and 6+ bags. The air conditioning worked well. It had enough power to manuver when needed.Cons: The Hyundai Accent is a small "Full size" car. Very short leg space in the back seat. The outside of the car was clean enough, but the inside of the windshield was very bad. Refracted the sunlight to the point we had to stop and find water and towels to scrub the inside clean. I expected the required liablity insurance to be extra, but the required ups and extras almost doubled the original quoted cost. I was very nervious driving, fearing someone might hit me and we were warned of the consequences.

Not American Standards and Extra Charges - Punta CPros: Car was fairly new and clean. Upon return rep drove us to our terminal in the car and helped us manage our luggage.Cons: There were surprise extra charges and they insisted on putting a $1500 hold on my credit card because I declined their insurance. The car was smaller than what I reserved and there were no other options so we squeezed in and didn't have a very safe situation. There were several stickers partially removed from the windshield that obstructed the view.

Worst experience everPros: Like how easy it was to dropped off.Cons: I was given one price online and at the counter I had additional charges that no one could assist me with. I had to paid an additional $60 for dropping it off at the same location I had reserved it for but was told that it was not included in the price of reservation, I was force to use their insurance for an additional $20 otherwise they would not release the car even though I had my own insurance.

Pros: I didn't like that it was a very misleading experience. I booked through Kayak.com at a price and when I got to Hertz they said that they couldn't give me the value I was offered on the website and charged me double of what I expecting to pay.
3.6 Mediocre27 Jan 2020
Pros: Convenience, dropped it off at a different locationCons: The insurance we reserved was a joke. It was 10 dollars a day on the Kayak site only to find out when we got to the Hertz facility they wanted to charge more for insurance than the entire car rental price. We had 2 dents on the car that I told the hertz guy about. He saw them and agreed, but didn't add them to the damage sheet! So, at the other end, they are trying to charge us for dents that I have pictures of on my phone! The language barrier was a joke. If I have to pay for damage that was already on the car, I'll be coming back to Hertz for this.

Pros: Honesty upon returnCons: Was quoted a price and when I picked up the car I was downgraded to an suv that was not close to a “Tahoe or similar vehicle”.

By far the worst experience I've had with HertzPros: The car was large enough to fit 3 people and all the luggage comfortably.Cons: I was given a price of $202 when I rented the car.I spoke to a Hertz Club Gold booking agent and they confirmed the price. Once I arrived at the Punta Cana airport: 1.) We waited over 45 minutes for someone to help us. There was nobody at the counter for 30 minutes. Then someone was who was helping another customer walked up, completely ignoring us. She was extremely slow and looked very inexperienced. Another Hertz representative showed up about 15-20 minutes later. 2.) The representative that helped us said that the price we received from the Hertz Club Gold member was just to reserve the car and the price of the car is actually more. I showed him my email receipt and he still said that's not what it shows on his screen. After that, he started adding all of these additional charges including insurance, gas option and a 28% tax. I told him I wanted to decline the insurance and gas options and he said that I could not an that I had to because it's a law in the Dominican Republic.I told him that none of this was ever communicated to me and I would have changed my travel plans to not use a rental car if I knew this was the case. I was stuck at this point and needed to pay for the car which now has cost me around $300 additional to the $202 I originally reserved. 3.) The car I was given was in terrible shape. Not only were there dents on the exterior but the inside was dirty and there were stains all over the seats. The driver side floor mat was not meant for the car. It partially covered the gas pedal and made it dangerous to drive. on top of all of this, the tires were bald and the car slide many times when I was braking. I have pictures of the dents in the exterior, floor mat and tires as proof. Additionally, I was only given the key to the car and not given the keyless entry module. This was absolutely the worst experience I've ever had renting a car and I was expecting much better service and vehicle since I was renting through Hertz. Also, the website and Hertz Club Gold representative should have explained the insurance and tax scams before renting the car. I will not be using Hertz in the future due to this experience.

Terrible experiencePros: NothingCons: They wouldn’t honor our reservation, claiming it wasn’t made there and that it was made another place further away from airport. Also , they said we got there late and we didn’t call. How can you call when your on the plane? Reservation was made for after 12 and we arrived at 2. Lastly they said we ran out of economy cars so all we have is an suv so that’ll be almost $1,000 instead of $360 original reservation. When we refused to rent like this we asked to use a phone to call a local friend. None of the rental call agents let us borrow a phone! They were trying to trap us there since we didn’t have cell service. Fortunately we called a friend using another customers cellphone and got out of there. Rented outside of that area the next day from someone local.

Didn’t Have Car For UsCons: We reserved two cars and when we arrived we called to confirm our reservations. They didn’t have either car for us. Our concierge confirmed that this is how EZ Rent a Car does business. You will show up and they will say they don’t have the car you reserved and instead try to rent you a more expensive car.

Horrible experienceCons: We got there and they told us they had no cars. And had not had any cars for days and wouldn't be getting any. They also said we could go find another car somewhere else but they couldn't help at all. And that they couldn't do anything about refunding anyone their money and people would have to send an email to wherever they booked and try to get one that way. There were people sitting there that had arrived before us and at least 10 more reservations that showed up after us to all be told the same thing. If they had known FOR DAYS they should have let us know. Make something happen to at least inform us when we traveled internationally with plans to pick up the car and drive 5 hours and needed the car for the next 11 days. Overall pretty terrible experience.

Felt like we were takenPros: We got a car. The car was comfortable and drove well.Cons: The company could not honor our reservation, telling us that they had no cars to give out. We were told that the company had over booked and that this was common practice during the holiday week. We were shocked again when, after 20 minutes of arguing with the clerk and then with the main office, and were still told there was nothing the company could do for us. Having run out of options, with a 5 hour drive to reach our accommodations, we offered to pay more if they got us a car. It was then that the clerk offered a car he had been saving for another client, but we ended up paying more than twice as much as the price we were given in our on-line confirmation, and it took an hour and a half to get the car.
2.0 Mediocre24 Dec 2017
Cons: Disgusting service from the staff st the counter, and did not have a single car available to rent. So instead of advising me that the rental could not be possible, I went all the way to the airport to be treated like an idiot. Also, the representative at the counter was trying to get me to pay twice the price with a competitor to try to do me a “favor”(as per his words). Very poor and will probably never use Kayak again.

Cons: My visa card cover rental car insurance but they don't accept it
2.0 Mediocre10 Jan 2017
0 stars because they didn't have a vehicle for usPros: Absolutely nothing.Cons: The fact that when we arrived they had no vehicles. Literally none and did not even try to help us find one. And we arrived ahead of our scheduled pick-up time to be safe. Horrible customer service and horrible company. Not what one wants to deal with when they arrive to a foreign country. Unacceptable.

We'vw been cheated, they didn't rent us any car.Pros: I would be capable to disband Kayak from the Internet.Cons: They promised us to bring the car in Bavaro although, in the very first day they invited us in Punta Cana Aiport. After we made more than 5 phone calls, on European roaming, calls consisting of: wait a second, wait a second, and we were discussing with many, many operators, calling us on Terminal A, afterwards on Terminal B, and again on A and B, we found out that they didn't even have the car we ordered. We had to pay 70 USD taxi, round trip and also 282 USD insurance for no car. It was a disaster that destroyed our holiday. It's a huge mistake to have them as your franchisors. They don't speak English, it's a huge waiting time, no car, and the services are a disaster!
5.2 Okay16 Nov 2016
Horrible rental companyPros: NothingCons: Bait and switch on prices. My rental before arrival was around 270 dollars and at the airport it turned into 597 dollars. Apperantly they do not accept the rental insurance I have bought thru Kayak (which Kayak recommended) so I was forced to buy their insurance which turned out to be more than the rental itself. Horrible rental company and I am not happy with Kayak that offered me insurance. So pretty much I got screwed. Never again am I booking rentals thru a website.

Complete Scam Attempt at check in.Pros: Location - right in airport.Cons: Agent tried to triple my quote for the $11 insurance offered to me when booking. Claimed what I NEEDED was the $170 a day insurance and when I said I wasn't interested tried to keep negotiating down, eventually when down to $120, but still same thing I was offered for $11 a day at booking time. I declined during booking because I wanted to know if my insurance would cover, they don't outside the U.S, so I wanted to opt in for it there. Ended up not getting the rental, too much of a scam.

Pros: NothingCons: The staff at the Punta Cana airport were horrible. They didn’t wanted to give me a car just because I didn’t paid much for my reservation online they only had cars if I was willing to pay more than 250$ US. With my reservation they said they don’t have a car and I have been charged on my credit card
2.0 Mediocre20 Jan 2019
Pros: NothingCons: It is a total rip off. Our confirmation stated that we would not have to pay anything else. They added over $250 to the agreed total. We spoke to their customer service desk and got no where. The first day they gave us an economy car when we prepaid for a mid suv. NO credit there. Car was filthy.
2.0 Mediocre24 Aug 2018
Hidden feesCons: It's hard to explain, because I didn't really understand it myself. But I'll try: I book a car that was $101 for five days. When I got there the total price ended up being over $550.00. Apparently theres an insurance and other fees that are not mentioned when booking that is required to rent a car. They photo copy your ID, passport, and credit Card too. After it was all said and done. I choose not to rent the car and was charged a $50 no show fee.

TERRIBLE - DO NOT BOOKCons: Arrived at airport and there were no cars. Attendant said she would call and deliver a car to the hotel next day. Still no car, called everyday and still no car until day 5 of trip and then offered a compact (not suitable for 4 adults and baggage) and asked to come to airport to collects. Lies, bad service, awful company. Also price listed is wrong - highly inflated insurance costs on pickup.

Top tips for hiring a car in Punta Cana
- Explore the very eastern tip of the Dominican Republic on your own four wheels and rent a car for your time in Punta Cana. With beautiful beaches and the inland stretching out seemingly infinitely, a car is definitely a must to get from A to B in this region. Make the most of your holiday and reach any beach with its wonderfully clear blue water or a stunning golf course conveniently and in comfort.
- Punta Cana International Airport is plopped amidst the region’s heart and is only a few minutes from many popular destinations. Various car hire agencies are situated at the airport, including companies like Thrifty, Avis, and Hertz. This remote corner of the world will most likely require visitors to have their own wheels if they do not want to be dependent on taxis. By car, it will take a maximum of half an hour to get to the northern side of the region, where most hotels are located.
- Driving in Punta Cana can be a bit of a challenge for first-time visitors, as many street regulations appear to be considered suggestions rather than rules. Motorcycles are also a common sight and they can whizz around a corner and be difficult to see coming. Driving defensively is the number one rule when coming to Punta Cana, but when doing so, there is nothing that can stop you from exploring all the beauty this region has to offer.
- Compared to major cities, rush hour in Punta Cana is comparably tame, but from 8 to 10 am and 6 to 9 pm, roads can face increased traffic as well. During the summer, traffic also increases as tourists flock into the region to enjoy the sun, white beaches, and crystal clear water. Especially around the coastline, traffic jams can occur in the peak season.
- Book your rental car in Punta Cana at least 6 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
FAQs about hiring a car in Punta Cana
The average price of fuel in Punta Cana is $6.08 per litre over the past 30 days. Filling up a tank of fuel costs between $73 and $97, depending on the car size.
Take a look at our extensive car rental location map to find the best rental cars near you.
Travelers who want to make the most out of the sun and salty breeze should consider renting a convertible for the ultimate feeling of summer. It is advised to opt for a compact car, as navigating and turning around on the streets of Punta Cana with a big car can be a hassle because of the unreliable driving behavior locals are known for.
Always look out for posted speed limit signs when driving in Punta Cana. General regulations permit 40 km/h (25 mph) in residential areas, 80 km/h (50 mph) on open secondary roads, and 120 km/h (75 mph) on highways. Even if locals go faster than allowed, don’t be tempted to do the same.
Petrol will cost about 56 Dominican Pesos per liter in Punta Cana (roughly $1.11, which means $4.40 per gallon). Be vigilant when refilling the tank in Punta Cana, as attendants sometimes choose the more expensive petrol and charge accordingly. Get out of the car and clearly indicate which kind of petrol you want (and also which one is best for the car).
Most bigger hotels in Punta Cana come with a parking space included, so inquire beforehand if that is also the case with your accommodation. There are many parking lots dotting the coastline, like the Marina Cap Cana lot (which is for visitors only), the Playa Publica Los Corales, or general beach parking alongside most beaches.
