Q: Will the resort security let your car enter the property?

Yes. All Bavaro resorts allow our delivery vehicles to enter for guest service. We coordinate with hotel security and your name at the front desk. The delivery takes place at your hotel's main lobby or guest entrance.

Q: What if I'm staying at a small Airbnb or villa?

Same service. We deliver to any address in the Bavaro area — Airbnbs, vacation rentals, private villas, or even a friend's house. Just share the address when booking. If it's hard to find, share a Google Maps pin and we'll meet you at the closest landmark.

Q: Can I leave the car at my hotel and have you pick it up?

Yes, free of charge. Tell us when you book or any time before your return date, and we'll collect the car from your hotel lobby on your specified date. You don't need to drive back to any rental location.

Why rent a car in Bávaro instead of using hotel transport

All-inclusive resorts in Bávaro charge $40-80 per person for shuttle service to nearby attractions like Macao Beach, Hoyo Azul, Saona Island departure point, or the Punta Cana Boulevard. For a family of 4, that's $160-320 round trip — for ONE excursion.

A 3-day rental with us costs less than two of those shuttle trips, and gives you total freedom: drive to the supermarket for water and rum at half all-inclusive prices, visit Macao Beach when the cruise tours have left, or extend your stay at a beach as long as you want.

Renters consistently tell us the car paid for itself on day one.

Why renters choose us over hotel tour desks and online aggregators

Hotel tour desks and online aggregators (Expedia, Booking, Kayak) advertise lower base rates that often exclude:

- Mandatory local insurance ($20-35/day)

- Airport surcharge (10-15% of base rate)

- Additional driver fee

- Drop-off fees

- "Counter service" fees

By the time you sign at the local counter, the bill is 30-60% higher than what you saw online. Hotel concierges often add a 10-15% commission on top of those prices.

We're a locally-operated, ONAPI-registered Dominican business — not a reseller, not a franchise. The price you see online is the price you pay. No commissions, no markups, no surprises at delivery.
