For those of you who live in the area or spend alot of time, can you recommend someone for car rentals in the area? I checked the airport and they are twice as expensive as in the US. We're going to need 2 vehicles for one week in February. Any info would be appreciated.

It's not so much that we're taking any trips. It's that there will be 9 people in our group and the house is in Cabarete. I'm sure people will want to break away for a couple hours here and there. I also want to make sure everyone sees the beautiful beaches of Sosua and I don't want to have to make arrangements for a driver every time we have to leave the house.
So is there a place in particular you would recommend renting from?

I have rented cars 7 times from this small rental agency that is on the side street to "The waterfront" hotel and rest. I forgot what it is called, but it has a tweety bird on the side of the small shack, it is just around the corner from the Casa Marina AI. I only pay 22.00 - 24.00 US for a car that usually has less than 50,000 Km and also has air. They will negotiate and you can talk them down.

They ask for a passport or a credit card. Since I don't like leaving my passport, I let them make a rubbing of an EXPIRED credit card (I know they will never be able to charge anything on it)

Hope this helps

Jan - What documents do they require for rental? Is it safe to give them your credit card? Do they let you pay in cash? Thanks

Sosua car rental

Hi Christine,
I have rented from Bohio Rent-A-Car in Sosua, william_cg@yahoo.com, (809) 571-4661, he will meet you at the airport with the car. The best I have done is $27 usd/day for a Toyota Corolla.
Good luck.

Do you guys have the same info for Santo Domingo? It doesnt have to be in or near the airport, I can pick it up in the city.

I always rent from the bigger names (rented from Avis, Dollar, Hertz, etc), however, always looking for a bargain...
