It's a good start, but you have to spend just a little more time.......
And a complete walk down Calle Del Sol is always interesting...........
But, why do I get the feeling you've already spent time here......lol

You're not making it very easy to give you concrete info. Do you have a hotel in Puerta Plata? Have you driven before in the DR? Is the rental company going to meet you with the car at the airport? Las Terrenas is about 2.5hrs. from Puerta Plata. Are you by yourself? Are you a beach person or have other interests?

Flying by the seat of my paints

Do you have anything booked or just flying by the seat of your pants.
No Reservations. Getting a rental car and going staying where i'm having fun. Married traveling together late
Forties. Don't like touristy places .... Hate hawkers. Don't mind comfort a/c a must but not afraid to slum it somewhat. Drinking / scenic drives / good food friendly people. / etc. No i have never driven in D.R. But i've driven all over in Mexico even after being warned. And yes i almost hit a cow in a curve on a mountain at night, and i've driven were stopping is optional.....

Rent from National Car Rental. They are a long standing sponsor of this site, and for a good reason. They are reliable.

National Car Rental // Dominican Republic // Welcome

I'll second that - before we brought down our own car, we rented from National for many, many years. Never a problem, never a surprise charge, decent and reliable cars. Even accepted Entertainment Book discount coupons.
