Am I going to get ripped off?

Call me nuts...why rent a car? Honestly, is it worth the hassle.

YES!!!! There is MUCH more to the DR than Sosua. A car allows you to get the real flavor of the country.

I can't imaging a trip there without one!

Also taking taxis at night in Santiago is a ripoff. North Coast, no car, no problem but anywhere else you need a car.

Besides it's so much fun to actually drive again, I don't drive in the states I just move along in long parking lots to and from work without having to think.

I love having a car during my stay. It makes "off the beaten path" trips much easier to do and cost less in the long run. I don't like spending my entire time on the strip. Some "semi" chicas don't want to be seen in hotels, just cabana's. Also, i like to go to POP, BB's, Santiago, playa dorado, etc.

yeah i agree with psriches a car and off the strip spot is a must for me.

Generally speaking, the more you go to the DR, the less time you'll spend at the strips...

It's nice to know it's always there if you want it...

When i send WU to my 7 novias online from my credit card do the credit card companies do the same thing when they go to pick up the pesos? I do not want to be taken advantage of.

I enjoyed my rental car tremendously my last trip. I put 800 miles on it in 4 days. I got it fully insured (because it was my first time driving there) and let them fill the tank at the end. Total charge: 8183 pesos. I used Alamo at SDQ.
