Apart from the regular domestic planes, taxis and rental cars, there are also various ways of transportation that are somewhat more unique; different from anything you may have encountered in other countries. But leasing a vehicle is most popular.

Car renting can be viable option of getting around in the Dominican Republic. Apart from giving you more freedom and privacy than other transport means, the cost differences are not too fantastic. You will need to pay attention while driving, however, and it can be quite uncomfortable if you are not used to Dominican roads and the usual driving style of most drivers, as they can be quite reckless, and roads are not always marked properly. It is not recommended to drive at night, most drivers don't dim lights and the roads are generally not that fantastic ... try to avoid driving after dark ...

It can be far more relaxing, though, once you get used to it, and the fact is that, with a rented car, you can always stop and admire the view whenever you want to. Nevertheless, to be sure you select the best car rental company, make sure you get comprehensive insurance when you rent a car in order to avoid being held responsible for any type of damage that you didn't cause.
