Once the vehicle is assigned, inspect it carefully before leaving the parking.

Common questions on rental process
In the Dominican Republic, local drivers rarely use turn signals. The best thing they can do is to warn of the upcoming maneuver by waving their hands. Many cars simply have broken turn signals because technical inspection in the country is not mandatory.
Many intersections have “speed bumps”. However, in the Dominican Republic these speed limiters, which are so familiar to many drivers, are distinguished by quite an impressive size.
Many local petrol stations sell fuel in gallons. If we calculate the cost of petrol in more familiar liters, the price will be approximately US$1 – 1.2 per one liter.
