What to see with your car rental in the Dominican Republic
The Dominican Republic is not just a collection of beautiful beach resorts. It is a Caribbean island known for its stunning mountain scenery, desert scrublands, vibrant culture, colourful buildings and people. Use your car rental to be free to fully appreciate the Dominican Republic. It is easy to travel using the most modern roads. The Dominican Republic is intersected by the DR-1 which is a modern four-lane highway connecting the cities of Santo Domingo and Santiago. Santo Domingo, the capital city of the Dominican Republic, is a must-see due to its combination of new world sophistication and colonial history. Highway DR-7 is a toll road connecting Santo Domingo to Samana making it easy to use your car hire to drive to the Los Haitises National Park and other interesting places.
