Hi guys, hopefully someone can be of assistance on this one. I will be in town from Sat 5/21 to Tue 5/24 and am really stuck on the dilemma of price versus convenience.
I am debating the price savings of renting a car and driving myself (if there actually is a savings considering the price with all the insurance fees!) or whether to hire someone local with a car (not necessarily a car service). I like the independence of driving myself everywhere but recognize the incredible odds for being involved in an accident. This is the first of a series of business trips so I have to figure this one out. I will stay in Bonao (friends) but visit potential clients in Santiago and Santo Domingo.
Notes to add...
1) This is not my first trip there
2) I can drive as aggressively as the locals (sometimes worse, blame NY and Miami for that one)
2) I have succesfully driven there accident free
3) And I generally do know my way around (with the help of Google Maps on my cel!)
Any Suggestions??? If you know someone local for a driver please post it here.
Thanks!
