Cheap Car Rentals in Domingo Sabio, Santo Domingo

No office inside the airport. No signage. No shuttle pickup. And that’s just for starters. Wrong car the first try, had to come BACK to the airport the next morning for my reserved car. Long wait time., overall subpar experience.

I was charged for additional insurance when making the reservation and when i picked up my car was told the insurance I had was not acceptable and needed to take out budgets insurance which ended up costing me double what i was expecting to pay. car rental pick up in Santo Domingo is a very long and drawn out procedure it took me over 30 minutes to complete all the paper work and get the required documents and pay so i could go and get the car. the entire pick up process from time I got to the counter until I drove off the lot was over an hour which is just not acceptable. When finally departing with the car I was not informed that on return I must not follow signs to car rental drop off but go towards the terminal where the new budget office is. So on my return I went to the car rental area and once inside I realized I was in the wrong spot and then could not exit as needed a ticket to exit called budget who said they would come get me in about 5 minutes but this did not happen after waiting for about 20 minutes was fortunate that an employee from another rental company gave me an exit ticket so I get out and told me where to go. When I finally got to the budget drop off office and asked why I was not informed not to follow car rental signs was told but you picked the car up from here you should have know. Though by using a well know company would avoid all these issues but realize that was not the case. if renting cars at Las Americas airport Santo Domingo factor in at least 1 hour or more to get your car

They didn’t have the car

I DID NOT LIKE THE DROP OFF FEES

Nothing. When I went to pick up the car they told me the cost was 3 times what my booking quote said it would be. I went to another rental company. I won’t use kayak or carrentals.com again.

The extras were presented as part of the basic deal. The car was not very clean and super basic. No good price quality ratio.

There is not adequate communication about insurance requirements when booking the car. I had car insurance through my trip insurance and was allowed to book with that. When I got to the pickup, I was told I had to obtain expensive insurance from the rental company. When sprung upon me at pickup it feels like extortion. I will never book through this company again.
