KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Santiago de los Caballeros
- While there are public transportation options within the city, securing a car rental in Santiago de los Caballeros is one of the best ways to guarantee access to the various attraction sites. Rental prices on the island are reasonable, making renting a car preferable in comparison with grabbing taxis and rideshares for your travels. What’s more, with a rental, you’ll have space to cart along any gear you may need for the day. If you choose to take a day trip to Puerto Plata along the seacoast, which is roughly between 1h and 1h 30min north, a rental car gives you the flexibility to make the trip on your own time. Alternatively, if you choose to explore some of the local wildlife parks, a car will get you there.
- To pick up your Santiago de los Caballeros car rental from the Cibao International Airport (STI), also known as Santiago Airport, you’ll need to head toward the exit of the main passenger terminal. On the right, before leaving the building, there are desks for rental companies that include Hertz, Budget and Enterprise, among others. Within the city, there are additional rental locations, including both Budget and Alamo on Ave. Juan Pablo Duarte.
- While driving in Santiago de los Caballeros, you’ll want to stay attentive to the roads and other drivers, as locals tend to have a more relaxed approach to complying with traffic laws. Also to note: If there is a traffic accident, regardless of who is at fault, typically all involved parties are apprehended until the details can be worked out and the matter is resolved. So, should your trip include traveling through the mountains or navigating more rural roadways, you’ll want to stay particularly vigilant. It is also highly recommended that you secure the proper insurance for your rental.
- A majority of the working population in Santiago de los Caballeros commutes to work via car, which means that the hours just before and just after the normal workday can increase the time spent commuting. If your schedule allows for flexibility, we recommend hitting the road outside of these rush hours, which are typically from 7:30am to 9am and then again from 4:30pm until about 6pm.
- Book your rental car in Santiago de los Caballeros at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Economy rental cars in Santiago de los Caballeros are around 63% cheaper than other car types, on average

Jan 2021
Pros:
Some of the staff were helpful and apologetic about all the issues we encounter.Cons:
The vehicle was not available at the time we landed. Had to get a cab to my hotel and come back the next day, we were a large family therefore very difficult to get to the hotel and back, especially as our plane arrived at midnight. The vehicle they gave us didn't have the proper license plate and the staff called me through my whole trip trying to have me come back for them to make do the paperwork. Also, they charge me bogus charges that were not included on my original reservation, on their words, those are country charges.Alamo

Pros:
The guy was unhelpful and very rude, he talked to us with Attitude, we asked for a supervisor or manager and he was i’m the manager and i have the final answer.. after 5 minutes of arguing he decided to call his manager only to say that my documents where expires which it wasnt true..Cons:

Pros:
Car was fine. They had a very limited selection and had to force upgrade me (which cost me more in gas).Cons:
They did NOT accept the Allianz insurance I had purchased online via Kayak and insisted I purchase their insurance. This more than doubled the cost of the rental. Allianz did refund me, but Kayak should not offer this option if Hertz will not accept it.2.0 Poor

Apr 2021
Pros:
When we went to pick up the car, we were told that they didnt have any cars available. There were others cars on the lot at a much higher price. Very disappointed as we were on vacation and were left in limbo at the last second.Cons:
That they would’ve notified us ahead of time of the availability of cars. At a minimum they should had let us rent a car of our choosing at the same or lower rate as our reservation.2.0 Poor
