Local Tips + Location Pros/Cons
La Romana Car Rental Guide: Where to Pick Up and What to Know
Renting a car in La Romana is a convenient way to reach resorts in Bayahibe/Dominicus, Casa de Campo, and day trips toward Punta Cana or Santo Domingo on your own schedule. Availability is best when you book ahead, especially during peak travel periods. Expect toll roads on major routes, plan extra time for city traffic, and confirm your fuel policy and deposit requirements before pickup. Choose airport pickup for the fastest start after landing, or downtown pickup if you want to avoid airport surcharges and you’re already staying in town.

La Romana International Airport (LRM) Car Rental Area
Primary airport pickup point for La Romana. Best for immediate access to main roads toward Casa de Campo and Bayahibe. Pros: convenient after arrival, longer hours, easier luggage handling. Cons: may include airport concession fees, limited last-minute selection in peak season, and stricter deposit/credit card requirements.
Central La Romana (Near Parque Duarte / City Center Offices)
Good option if you’re staying in town first or arriving by bus/taxi. Pros: potential savings versus airport pickup and easier to compare nearby offices. Cons: shorter business hours, limited vehicle inventory, and pickup/return can take longer due to city traffic and parking.
Casa de Campo / Resort Area Pickup (When Offered by Providers)
Some companies can arrange delivery/pickup near major resorts. Pros: maximum convenience if you’re based in Casa de Campo and don’t want to travel into town. Cons: delivery fees or higher rates may apply, fewer car categories, and scheduling depends on staff availability.

La Romana Car Rental Guide

Essential driving tips and FAQ for renting and driving in La Romana, Dominican Republic

Can I use my US driver's license in the Dominican Republic, or do I need an International Driving Permit?
US licenses are technically accepted for tourism, but an International Driving Permit (IDP) is strongly recommended and often required by rental agencies. The IDP translates your license into Spanish and is recognized by police. Get one from AAA for about $20 before your trip. Without an IDP, you may face delays or fines during traffic stops.
I'm 22 years old—will I be charged a young driver surcharge, and how much is it?
Yes, most rental agencies in the Dominican Republic charge a young driver fee for drivers under 25. Expect to pay $15–$30 per day extra. Some agencies set the minimum age at 21, but policies vary. Book early and confirm age policies directly with the rental company, as discount codes rarely apply to young driver surcharges.
What are the roads really like around La Romana—should I stick to highways?
Major highways (like Autopista del Sur) connecting La Romana to Santo Domingo are paved and well-maintained, but secondary roads and rural routes can have potholes, unmarked speed bumps, and occasional livestock. Drive defensively and avoid night driving on non-highway roads. Coastal tourist areas generally have the best road conditions.
Is fuel expensive in the Dominican Republic, and what type should I use?
Gasoline (galones) is sold in gallons at government-subsidized stations (likes PN and Total) and private stations. As of 2025, regular gasoline runs roughly $4.50–$5.50 per gallon. The country uses gasoline and diesel, both available nationwide. Most rentals take regular gasoline. Fill up in cities rather than remote areas, as fuel can run out in smaller towns.
Do I need extra insurance beyond what the rental company offers, and will my credit card cover it?
Basic liability is required by law, but collision damage waivers (CDW) with $1,000–$2,500 deductibles are standard. Many US credit cards provide CDW coverage if you decline the rental agency's collision insurance—but verify your card's coverage before arriving. Due to road conditions and theft risk, full coverage with zero deductible ($25–$40/day) is worth considering.
What happens if I get a traffic fine or the car is towed in the Dominican Republic?
Police checkpoints are common outside tourist zones. Fines are typically paid on the spot (cash) or at a bank, rarely to the rental agency. If your car is towed, contact your rental company immediately—they usually handle retrieval. Keep the rental agreement and receipt on you at all times to avoid disputes.
