I've only done it once here in Boca Chica and they made a copy. I would have said no had they wanted to keep the passport.The local independent rental places typically require you to leave your passport or a large cash deposit.
Giving up your Passport for a Rental of any kind is quite possibly the most AMATEUR Move you could ever make in the DR ..I've only done it once here in Boca Chica and they made a copy. I would have said no had they wanted to keep the passport.
See post number #17Has anyone notice OP hasn't been back since his first post?
Just report the passport it lost or stolen. People watch too much tv and spy movies. That passport is worthless. They have all kinds of security markings watermarks etc even on the photos, so if anybody tries to pull it apart and switch photos, everything rips and tears. And never LEAVE your passport with anybody. Like someone mentioned if they won't take a copy, they find a new company. Also always do a full color scan of your passport front and back and email it to yourself.
I did not misunderstand anything. Sounds like you misunderstood. I'm talking about worthless to everyone BUT the person missing it. People act like they are going to resell his passport on the black market and swap out photos etc like in spy movies.Its especially worthless to the Person who is Missing it ..
Like when their Flight is the next day , and they need to leave the Country .
Some people do have JOBS , Appointments to keep ... a Stolen./ lost/ missing Passport has NO Value .. you are correct on that one ..
maybe you misunderstood that part ?..
no one needs to watch spy Movies to understand how Infuriating and inconvenient this can be, until the experience it themselves ..
So therefore to WILLFULLY Hand over your Passport to some FLUNKY at a Pesola Rental Sheit hole , is the height of Ignorance ...
The Reputable Companies never ask for it and there is a reason for that .

If people do have jobs, appointments to keep, flights etc and it is so valuable they should have thought about that BEFORE giving it to rent a $35/day Pasola. Miss your flight....your fault, miss appointments...your fault. Need to leave the country next day...your fault. Take it as a painful lesson learned! Zero sympathy, if someone is that careless with it maybe they should not be traveling far from home.
