I don't know about the Santo Domingo area, but here in Puerto Plata and Sosua area one can rent a carf or 1500 pesos a day, week ends they require a 2 day minimum. No deposit and no credit card hold either, just cash up front for the day and drive away. Hope some one can chime in about the capitol.

About the same price. I rented a decent car in Boca Chica about a year ago and had to leave a copy of my passport and 3000rd deposit.

In Sosua try Kobirent

What places in POP and Sosua offer this arrangement?

In Sosua, I rent from Kobirent KobiRent S.A. - rent a car - Mietwagen in der Dominikanischen Republik
The pages are also in english (upper right corner).
When I am there, I rent from Andrea.
Did rent several times over the years and always everything was fine, great pick up service if needed.
Also solved minor problems like stolen spare tire simple and fair.

**************
Renting "cheap" from private: can get expensive, because people in need for cash may get the idea that now there is a gringo it is a good time to fix everything with the gringo paying.

If in Sto. Domingo a Hertz car is only USD 10 more than from an unknown company, go with Hertz.
Example: Once had an Avis car from the airport and had a flat tyre. They changed it within 30 min. for free in Puerto Plata. If your car has a problem, a company like Hertz will bring you a replacement wherever you are in the D.R.

Renting a car isnt that expensive when done in advance online. Its the insurance that doubles the
price and more.:tired:

im done with renting cars now their is no cheap rentals even when you rent for the whole vacation. the cheapest i found was nelly's 50 dollars a day with tire and glass coverage and if you ask they will let you get one day for free. i been dealing with them for years and found out the side rental companies will say 30 and the insurance is ok let me get your credit card and i was like you are going to use the ins. from my card were if some thing happen they will pay for the damages and i would have to pay it back.
