I would like to rent a car in Puerto Plata for 2 weeks. I will use it to drive all over DR. Can anyone recommend a reputable car rental firm? Any caveats on insurance? I have a Visa Gold credit card so I supposedly do not need coverage.
If your driving all over the DR, use a well known comapny like National, Avis etc.
They look after you. Plenty of people on DR1 have used National and had no problems. National Car Rental // Dominican Republic // Welcome
Going cheap is a HUGE mistake if your driving all over the country, most small agencies do not have the ability to support you.
I agree with Robert! Make sure you completely understand the insurance and service offered on your credit card first!!!! Many times you do not have the coverage you think you do!
While going cheap might be a mistake, I would say it also depends on your own ability to sort out any mishaps.. There have been plenty of times where I arranged a car to be repaired myself, within a few hours and at very reasonable prices.. remember the big companies usually also have a deductable for minor damages.
