take the BUS!!
Anita, please take Caribe Tours to the airport in Puerto Plata and rent a car there. Once you get up here, there is relatively little issue with driving. The Caribe tours bus is nice and comfortable (with earplugs and a jacket). And Budget Rent a car at the POP airport is great.
I got lost in Santiago today and really hope that you take my advice. It's true- I speak spanish and got headed in a couple of different directions to get back north on the road, they just can't seem to give directions in Santiago and the signage is really, really poor...and I do not recommend driving at night on those roads. AT ALL!!!!!!!! I've driven through the mountains of North Carolina, Missouri and Colorado, but at least they have decent roads there with railings. Not here. Please take the bus up to the North Coast and then rent a car.
