Car Rental Sosua
We used to use: Cars Rent Dominican Republic. Always outstanding service and very reasonable prices...in low season you can negotiate a rate as well. Speak with David or his sister Dario. They will meet you at the airport to deliver the car to you as well as make arrangements at the end of your stay for returning the vehicle wherever you want. Our friends come down twice a year and always rent from them.
Depends where you rent it from really.
A local taxista will rent an older small suv for about 1,000/day. An actual car rental location can be 1,300-1,500 for a smallish suv. Shop around, there can be some big fluctuations.
If eco is your thing, avoid the "caragato" (Mitsu Montero) at all costs, that thing sucks down gas like an Arab warlord

It does, but it drives like an Arab warlord too
And you get right of way like nobody's business
Only place I would use would be OK motors. Great service & reasonable prices. 809-571-1666 or ok-motors@hotmail.com
Do folks usually get the provided insurance when renting or do you just waive it and use your credit card's protection? Do you usually have a choice? I would think you could drive without liability coverage, since I see cars on the road that don't look like they should even be on the road. But, the rules might be different for gringos.
Be careful! In my investigation, I found that if you read the fine print, most credit card car insurance is NOT valid in the DR.
My CC supplemental car insurance is not valid in the DR, Ireland, and Isreal.
Ireland and Isreal are most likely on the list due to increased probability of damage from terrorist bombing.
DR is probably on the list because of driving conditions like this: (from DR1 news summary yesterday)
Dominican Republic has the most traffic fatalities in the world
A report by the World Health Organization (WHO) has said that dicey roads, wild drivers and a car culture where traffic rules are seldom obeyed all led to the Dominican Republic to earn the title as the most deadly country in the world to get behind the wheel of a vehicle.
The Dominican Republic has a fatality rate for drivers at 41.7 per hundred thousand people. Doing the math, this means that one in every 2,398 Dominicans will die every year in an automotive accident, or over an entire life span, Dominicans have a one in 480 chance of having their lives taken by a vehicle accident.

For not much more you can hire a driver with his own car. A gringo driving a rental is recipe for all kinds of trouble. And a good driver can also act as a concierge.
