Santo Domingo Car Rental...

I am deciding which company to go with at the airport. Hertz or Budget. Both say they are at the airport, which is closer? Anyone have any bad experiences with either?
I usually rent with Avis, which I know is right on the airport grounds, but have not rented from either of these companies in DR.

How about National?

Lot's of people on DR1 use them and I haven't heard anything bad.

Checked National, way too expensive for the period I'm travelling.

Anyone ever go through Payless?

I got a crappy car from Avis when I flew into Santiago but it was very cheap.

FYI - I am not a jew but my family calls me Shwartzy.

Did you send them a reservation to get a price via the link I posted?

People tell me their pricing is very competitive.

FYI: Alamo is also here and is handled by National.

No, I checked through their general website for rates. Is there much difference?

I assume so. Try and let us all know.

how much are you looking to spend?

The reason is I'm getting Payless for about $100 less than any other car rental company. I used Payless once in Orlando and wasn't crazy about the car or the service.
That's why I'm asking if anyone has used them, otherwise I'll spend the extra $100 on the other comapnies.

I have no experience with Payless, but what makes you think their service is any better here?

All depends on how long your planning to rent. If your saving US$100 over a week, I think I would rather go with a company I know will support me and has a reputation for great service.

Life is full of choices
