Appreciate the information! We may need to rent in Santo Domingo.

i've heard NELLY is sort of expensive. I have used alamo at the airport and have found their prices to be competitive.
You can search for prices at alamo.com website and use
YQ in the RATE/PRODUCT CODE to get discount.

good luck

I just returned from DR and we rented a mini van from Avis at the airport in Santo Domingo. They were very nice and we got a decent rate ($80 a day).

Thanks. I guess we're going to take a bus to Barahona and try our luck there.
Thanks for the information.

I've rented from Nelly in SD in the past. No problems at all. It's been a few years, but I always got cheaper rates by renting at one of the branches in the city than the one at the airport. It actually cost less to take a taxi or get a ride into the city and arrange the rental in the city (rather than at the airport) then to turn the car in at the airport at the end of the rental period.

This time i'm going for close to a week and a half and paying $310 USD with insurance and everything for a Honda CRV... there are places that i bet are much cheaper but I feel really comfortable booking with them.

Just returned from 12 days on the North Coast starting with the 3 hr drive to Las Terrenas and return. Universal delivered the car to POP on time as prearranged. No hassles, no problems, with the car for the whole trip. The young lady working in the Cabarete office is Dairy Veras. Just shoot her an email and she takes care of everything. Even gives you her beeper # to call anytime if you need help. I don't know what they could have done better.

I have read all the posts in this thread and have rented from many of the same agencies mentioned but by far hands down the best rental company in DR is Prestige rental cars, Located in La Romana, Playa Dorada Puerto Plata, and in Cabarete. Tim Larkin the manager has unsurpassed customer service and goes to great lengths to make sure his customers are satisfied. Let me tell you my personal dealings with Prestige rentals. We rented a jeep in mid October and had the unfortunate luck to get in an accident on the Highway up in Cabarete. Tim showed up at accident scene to make sure I was OK(Not the CAR) and told me to forget about the car because that is what insurance is for. Tim then took me in his personal car from Cabarete to my Hotel in Cofresi. Next morning new car delivered to my hotel (No Problem). Tim and his assistant then accompanied me to the police station to help me finish up accident report ( How many rental companies would help like that?). Over the next few days Tim rented about 5-6 more autos to friends of mine who loved the personal attention they recieved from Prestige rentals, They delivered the cars to wherever you were at that moment (Eddys watching football) and actually came to Sosua beach to pick up a car for a buddy who was leaving but was trying to get in a few last rays of sunshine before going back to NY. I will never rent from another agency even if i find a cheaper price because with Pestige I trully felt like I was dealing with friends not an Agency. Call Tim to make your next reservation 809-796-5565
