Cheap National Car Hire in Punta Cana

When hiring a car, especially if you’re arriving in Punta Cana by flight, plan for extra time at pickup to accommodate any potential delays. Suppliers like National typically offer a grace period of 30-60 minutes. Providing your flight number can be helpful, but if you’re running late, be sure to call the supplier to inform them.

When renting a car, understand the fuel policy. A 'Full-to-Full' policy means you return the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' means you return it with the same level of fuel. Full-to-Full is often more cost-effective.

A credit card is often required for deposits, especially with suppliers like National in Punta Cana. If you only have a debit card, use our website filter to find suitable offers or consider obtaining a credit card. Ensure that the main driver’s card is used to avoid any additional fees.

Familiarize yourself with local habits to enhance your safety and compliance on the road.

If you plan to share driving, check if the rental company allows a second driver and whether there are additional fees. Some companies offer free second driver options under certain conditions.

Knowing local laws helps prevent fines and makes your driving experience smoother.

Research fuel prices in the area where you'll return the vehicle. Filling up at a local station may be cheaper than paying for fuel through the rental company, especially if they charge higher rates.
