Good to know
Check each provider's age requirements before booking your rental in the Dominican Republic. Rules can differ, and some restrictions or fees may apply if you're a younger driver. At the start of your search, uncheck the 'Driver aged between 25–70' filter and enter your age to explore your options.
Add a car seat to your La Caleta car rental reservation if you're planning to travel with the kids. Rules change from place to place, but using a child seat suited to their size, age and weight is always the safest way to travel.
You'll be asked to provide some documents when you get to the rental counter. As a rule, bring a valid driver's license, a credit card with enough balance for the deposit (debit cards usually aren't accepted), and another form of photo ID. Your booking will confirm exactly what's required.
Familiarize yourself with your rental. Check your seat and mirrors, learn where everything is, and get used to its handling before you set off. And remember to stick to the right side of the road in the Dominican Republic.
Follow the local speed limits. Usually that's around 30kph in built-up areas and 95kph or so on highways, unless road signs indicate differently.
The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in the Dominican Republic is 0.05%. Because alcohol affects everyone differently, the only way to be certain you're safe to drive is to skip the drinks.
Around 8am is one of the busiest times for traffic around this destination. Try to avoid peak travel times generally for a more relaxed drive.
You'll be using the Dominican peso (DOP) for everyday expenses throughout your trip. You may find it useful to carry a mix of cards and cash to ensure you're covered in all situations.
