Frequently Asked Questions
Is it worth renting a car in Punta Cana instead of using taxis?
Absolutely. Taxis can cost $50 or more for a short ride, while a rental car gives you unlimited freedom to explore at your own pace for as little as $31/day — far more cost-effective, especially for couples and groups.
Is it safe to drive in Punta Cana?
Yes. Main roads and tourist areas are well maintained. Stick to posted speed limits (60 km/h in cities, 100 km/h on highways), use designated parking, and your rental — with full insurance included — gives you a safe, comfortable way to get around.
Can I reach secluded beaches and hidden gems with a rental car?
Yes, that is one of the biggest advantages. A rental car lets you reach secluded beaches and off-the-beaten-path spots that taxis and tour buses simply cannot access.
Is renting a car cost-effective for group travel?
Very. Splitting one rental among a group is far cheaper than multiple taxi fares, and an SUV ($62/day) or family minivan ($84/day) comfortably carries everyone and the luggage.
What do I need to rent a car in Punta Cana?
You need a valid driver's license and to be at least 21 years old. No credit card is required, and we offer free delivery to the airport, your hotel or Airbnb.
