While selecting your preferred model of an off-road vehicle, please examine the rental conditions. In particular, those requirements that concern credit cards – when it comes to renting an expensive car, sometimes offices in Dominikana ask information about two credit cards.
Before signing the contract in the rental office upon arrival, check that the invoice figures match with figures in your voucher.
Once the vehicle is assigned, inspect it carefully before leaving the parking. Crossovers and SUVs are often used in tough road conditions, therefore scratches and other exteriour defects are inevitable. Due to this, it is important to check and specify all existing defects in your rental documents.
If you plan to use an off-road vehicle in the mountains, it is recommended to order snow chains. This will save you from unexpected incidents. Other important equipment in Dominikana are mandatory child seats for travellers with children.

Common questions on rental process
Local drivers pay very little attention to lanes on the road. From time to time you will see drivers who move in the middle of the road, occupying both lanes at the same time. You shouldn’t expect that the driver will move to one lane and give way to your car as soon as he sees it. Most likely, he will continue driving in the middle of the road.
Even if there is a traffic jam at the crossroads, nobody pays attention to it. Cars simply keep moving and stop at the crossroads, blocking traffic in all directions. Naturally, the official traffic regulations do not allow such actions, but local drivers care very little about traffic regulations.
If there are traffic jams on the roads, the most enterprising drivers try to overcome them by driving on road sides. If at least one driver succeeds in making such a maneuver, all other cars will follow its example.
