What is Collision Damage Waiver Plus at an extra 10.44 $ per day - is this mandatory or is this what you can opt out of if you have cover on your cards?
They say VAT is included but VAT does not exist in the DR per se - are any other taxes added on at pick up - that has happened to me before?
I suppose my bottom line question is Is the price they are quoting fully inclusive?

Rio, I have rented from Europcar several times and used the prepay route. I have never had to pay anything additional. A couple of times the local person would try and say that the price did not cover a fee or a tax. However, once I show them my print out they back off and honor the prepay (you can't blame them for trying to make a buck or two commission). I am not too sharp on the insurance options, but my friend purchased the CDW and they charged his card a hold of only $300 US vs the $1,500 they originally told him, but just like everything else you can negotiate with the sales people.
