Renting a car in the Dominican Republic can be a convenient and affordable way to explore the island. Enjoy your adventures in the Dominican Republic.
A step up from the Picanto in boot space and motorway manners rather than in anything you would notice around town. The difference shows on the Autovia del Coral toward Santo Domingo, two and a half hours where the Rio sits at 110 km/h without feeling busy, and in the boot, which takes three cases instead of two. Same low ride height as the Picanto, so the same caution at village speed bumps. Automatic, air conditioning that copes with a Dominican August, an official 3.5 to 9.8 L/100 km, which in practice means the low end on the Autovia and the high end in Bavaro traffic. Two adults, a week of beaches and one long day out: this is the sensible middle of the range.
Pay attention! Smoking in the car is strictly prohibited. A fine will be imposed for violating this rule.
Renting for a month or longer
A monthly rental of the Kia Rio in Punta Cana costs $1230 for 30 days — that is $41 a day, about 25% below the daily rate. Insurance, taxes and unlimited mileage are included, exactly as on a short rental, and the deposit does not change. Long stays are common here: people who work remotely from Bávaro or spend a season in the Dominican Republic usually find a month with us cheaper than repeated weekly bookings. Tell us your dates and we will hold the car for the whole period.
Long-term rental questions
- Is there a discount for renting a Kia Rio for a month?
- Yes. Thirty days cost $1230, which works out at $41 a day — around 25% below the daily rate. Insurance, taxes and unlimited mileage are included, and the deposit stays the same as on a short rental.
- What documents do you need for a long-term rental?
- A passport with the entry stamp and your national driving licence. We have to see the stamp: a foreign licence is valid in the Dominican Republic for three months from the date you entered the country, so the entry date decides how long you may legally drive.
- Can I rent a car for longer than three months?
- The car, yes — a foreign licence, no. It stops being valid three months after your entry date, so a longer rental has to be planned around that. Write to us with your dates before you book and we will go through the options together.
