I've rented from Nelly in SD in the past. No problems at all. It's been a few years, but I always got cheaper rates by renting at one of the branches in the city than the one at the airport. It actually cost less to take a taxi or get a ride into the city and arrange the rental in the city (rather than at the airport) then to turn the car in at the airport at the end of the rental period.
Universal Is Tops w Me Too
Just returned from 12 days on the North Coast starting with the 3 hr drive to Las Terrenas and return. Universal delivered the car to POP on time as prearranged. No hassles, no problems, with the car for the whole trip. The young lady working in the Cabarete office is Dairy Veras. Just shoot her an email and she takes care of everything. Even gives you her beeper # to call anytime if you need help. I don't know what they could have done better.

Best rental company by far.
I have read all the posts in this thread and have rented from many of the same agencies mentioned but by far hands down the best rental company in DR is Prestige rental cars, Located in La Romana, Playa Dorada Puerto Plata, and in Cabarete. Tim Larkin the manager has unsurpassed customer service and goes to great lengths to make sure his customers are satisfied. Let me tell you my personal dealings with Prestige rentals. We rented a jeep in mid October and had the unfortunate luck to get in an accident on the Highway up in Cabarete. Tim showed up at accident scene to make sure I was OK(Not the CAR) and told me to forget about the car because that is what insurance is for. Tim then took me in his personal car from Cabarete to my Hotel in Cofresi. Next morning new car delivered to my hotel (No Problem). Tim and his assistant then accompanied me to the police station to help me finish up accident report ( How many rental companies would help like that?). Over the next few days Tim rented about 5-6 more autos to friends of mine who loved the personal attention they recieved from Prestige rentals, They delivered the cars to wherever you were at that moment (Eddys watching football) and actually came to Sosua beach to pick up a car for a buddy who was leaving but was trying to get in a few last rays of sunshine before going back to NY. I will never rent from another agency even if i find a cheaper price because with Pestige I trully felt like I was dealing with friends not an Agency. Call Tim to make your next reservation 809-796-5565

Just out of Playa Dorada - MELODY
Ok - i had a car for 1 week - a Grand Vitara - paid $240 and left a photo copy of my passport. He asked for the document and I said no way - however he has to know who i am and was quite happy to leave a photo copy.
The car - a few years old - all worked properley, air conditioned, and more than good enough for what we wanted to do.
The contract - I didnt like a paragraph in it and asked him to take it out. So we drew a line through it and BOTH signed it.
I did not have an accident so i dont know what would have happened if i did - but i would be more than happy and fully intend to hire from him again.
Contact -
MELODY - 9750670 or 6770909 or 0809 2613832
Coming out of Playa D grab a moto concho 10 pesos up to Melody and speak to Rafel CId- hes a great guy!

Reason why? Great car (Late model Honda CRV in near perfect condition with low miles), great service, Joshua speaks perfect English. Paperwork and vehicle inspection took about 10 minutes. Didnt ask to keep my passport. Call him at 809-705-9820. I told him about DR1 and he said he'd give a discount if you mention the board and/or that I referred you.

How about thrifty?
I just reserved the basic car offered by Thrifty at SDQ and it cost me just $23.90/day with Unlimited Kilometers. This is an automatic car with air conditioning. Seems to be a great price for a car agency located inside the airport terminal. Nobody has even mentioned Thrifty on this thread...

Best car rental in the Nortn Coast is Nelly Rental, at the airport in Puerta Plata.
Madeline Ramos is the absolute best, she's pulled my a** out of the fire a couple of times with traffic problems and she will deliver and pick-up the car at your hotel. The car are always in good shape,and I even called her at home on her days off with questions or problems.

I can certainly speak for renting cars in the SD area. I've been coming here regularly for almost 2 years and have been here full time for over 10 months. I've never owned a car in the DR and have always relied upon rentals to take care of my requirements when friends and family visit.
I have several good stories about local companies and a few horror stories as well- it is probably those which were the most education but in the interest of the title of the thread I won't name names- however if you want to know at least one company to stay away from please feel free to PM me.
