Rent an SUV in the Dominican Republic

Rent SUVs

SUV car rental: the sensible way to see the Dominican Republic beyond the resort strip

The moment you leave the resort strip, the roads change. The highway to Miches has stretches that were patched once and never again, the back way to Macao turns to packed sand and loose stone, and the potholes on the side roads out of Bavaro can swallow a small sedan's wheel whole. An SUV car rental from Autodominicana is built for exactly that. We are a local team in Punta Cana, we drive these roads every week, and we will tell you straight which model suits your plans. Up to the green hills of Jarabacoa, along the twisting coast road of Samana, or down a sandy track to a beach with nobody on it, a proper sport utility vehicle gives your family the ground clearance, the safety, and the comfort that make a long day out feel short.

SUV rental deals: what you actually get, with terms in plain language

Our SUV rental deals cover a fleet we know by heart. For most families the Suzuki Vitara or Kia Sportage is the honest choice: light on fuel, easy to park in Bavaro, and tall enough to clear the ruts on the Macao road. Step up to the Jeep Grand Cherokee or the Chevrolet Tahoe when you are travelling with grandparents and six suitcases. For genuine 4x4 work, and the road to Miches counts, we run the Jeep Wrangler. And if you want the trip to feel a little more special, the Porsche Macan is in the garage too. The cost of SUV rental reflects the safety and standing of these vehicles, yet our prices hold up well against the global agencies. Travelling with small children? We fit child car seats before we hand over the keys. Would rather watch the coast than the road? Hire one of our personal drivers. The conditions are simple and we do not bury them: basic insurance with a clear 5% deductible, and all we ask for is a valid passport and a driver's licence held for at least one year. Useful extras round it out, such as a second driver or a Wi-Fi modem so your maps still work halfway to the Los Haitises caves.

How to book an SUV rental and manage your SUV for hire?

Ready to lock in a capable SUV hire, or to rent an SUV car for a holiday you have been planning for months? Booking with Autodominicana is straightforward. To arrange your SUV for hire at PUJ, SDQ, or LRM airports, just follow these four stages:

• Pick the right SUV: Choose a model based on where you are going, how many people are riding, and how much luggage is coming with you. Tell us the plan and we will point you to the honest fit.
• Have your documents ready: Keep your original passport and valid driver's licence to hand for a quick check when we deliver the vehicle to your hotel or meet you at the airport.
• Walk around the car with us: Check the SUV's bodywork, tyre condition, and interior together with our representative before signing off. We photograph everything, so there are no surprises later.
• Sign and drive: Sign the rental agreement, take the keys, and enjoy a premium vehicle on our "same-to-same" fuel policy: bring it back with the same fuel level it left with, and that is the end of it.
