Sorry if this has been asked a thousand times, I browsed and browsed but couldn't find.
My wife and I are flying into Santo Domingo on Christmas day and staying until the 27th. We are hoping to catch a bus up to Las Terrenas (the direct bus, not Caribe Tours) and rent a car in town when we get there so we can travel around from there. A few questions -
1. How is driving in the smaller towns in DR? I know Santo Domingo is crazy. I have experience in Costa Rica, Panama, and Mexico.
2. Is there anywhere to rent a car in Las Terrenas? I know there are places at the airport, but a place in the city would be grand.
3. Our flight leaves on December 31st at 4:45 PM. How reliable are the busses? Will we be ok trying to make it from Las Terrenas to Santo Domingo on the day of the 31st, or should we head back the 30th and stay in Santo?
Thank you very much!
