The major roads you are likely to use while navigating your way through Santo Domingo include the Autopista Juan Pablo Duarte (DR-1), the Mella highway (DR-4), and the Sanchez highway (DR-2). You might find free parking at hotels, but it is not a guarantee since it is a very populated area with heavy traffic. However, you can always look for paid parking lots and garages. There are over 20 car rental locations in San Domingo, and therefore, finding a car to rent is not so challenging.

Is it worthwhile to rent a car while visiting Santo Domingo?

While free parking is available at different hotels for rental cars in Santo Domingo, you can also find paid parking garages and parking lots in the city. If you do not find free parking, you can opt for the paid slots, even if it is just for an hour. The city is generally busy and chaotic due to the heavy traffic and congestion on the major roads, including DR-2. However, car rentals in Santo Domingo are a fast way to get through the city as long as you drive carefully. Driving your Santo Domingo car rental makes it easier to visit attraction sites in the surrounding areas, such as the Samana Peninsula.

What laws should I keep in mind while driving in Santo Domingo?

While driving car rentals in Santo Domingo, you have to keep in mind some city traffic laws and regulations. For instance, you have to always drive on the right side of the road. Seatbelts are a must for everyone in the vehicle, and you are not allowed to drive under the influence of alcohol since it is prohibited. The speed limit varies, and highways typically post a higher speed limit than roads in villages and small towns. Be aware that trucks have priority before cars. You should check with Santo Domingo’s department of motor vehicles to be sure of the traffic laws.

Will I need a special driver’s license or permit to drive a rental car in Santo Domingo if I’m visiting from another country?

If you are visiting from a different country, you do not need to get another special driving license, at least for the first 30 days of your visit.
