Top tips for renting a car in Santo Domingo

  • Santo Domingo Airport (SDQ) is the primary entry point to the Dominican Republic. For those in need of car rentals, Santo Domingo car rentals prove to be a reliable choice. Car rental company locations are even conveniently situated near the baggage claim area in the terminal building. Whether you’re traveling alone or with family, car rentals in Santo Domingo offer vehicles for various needs. There are many options, from economical cars for budget-conscious travelers to spacious SUVs for outdoor adventures and comfortable minivans for large families. With trusted providers such as Avis, Hertz, Enterprise, and more, car rentals in Santo Domingo ensure a seamless and enjoyable exploration of the vibrant culture, beautiful beaches, and historical treasures that Santo Domingo and the Dominican Republic offer.
  • Santo Domingo car rentals require children under 10 years of age to be secured in appropriate child restraints. When you are traveling with children under the age of one year, you should secure them in rear-facing car seats for safety. If your children are between the ages of one and four, you should fasten them in forward-facing car seats with harnesses. Renters should use booster seats for children between ages four and 10.
  • When driving in Santo Domingo, you might consider renting a compact car, which could help you more easily navigate neighborhoods such as Zona Colonial, which has narrow streets that may make it difficult for SUVs and other larger vehicles to maneuver. Alcázar de Colón is one of the neighborhoods with limited parking spaces. Compact cars will more easily maneuver their way into parking spots. Plus, smaller cars also provide fuel and engine efficiency.
  • Driving in Santo Domingo is a delightful way to explore this dynamic capital city and its surroundings. The streets of Santo Domingo can be busy. As such, planning journeys outside peak hours can help avoid heavy traffic congestion, particularly during weekday rush hours. These are from approximately 7 a.m. and 10 a.m. and again from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.
