Rent a Car at La Romana International Airport: Essential Tips

  • After landing at La Romana International Airport (LRM), collect your baggage and clear customs before entering the Level 1 Arrivals Hall, then follow the clearly marked "Alquiler de Vehículos" or "Car Rental" signs to reach the Final Rentals partner counters near the adjacent parking garage.

  • Bring your valid home-country driving licence, passport or government-issued identification, and a credit card in the lead driver's name when collecting your vehicle, ensuring the licence has been held for at least one year, as digital copies are not accepted.

  • Visitors can legally drive throughout the Dominican Republic using a valid driving licence issued by their home country during their tourist stay of up to 90 days, meaning most travellers do not require a special local permit or International Driving Permit.

  • Most rental companies accept drivers aged 21 years or older, although premium vehicles, luxury cars, and larger SUVs may require drivers to be at least 25 years old, with renters aged 21–24 usually paying a young driver surcharge of USD $20–30 daily.

  • Expect a refundable credit card security deposit when collecting your rental vehicle, which typically ranges between USD $300 and USD $600 depending on the vehicle category and insurance selected, while debit cards are generally not accepted for this hold.

  • The Dominican Republic follows right-hand traffic, making driving familiar for visitors from the United States and many other countries, with the DR-3 highway from the airport being well-maintained, though rural areas may have occasional potholes or informal signage.

  • Speed limits are strictly enforced at 40 km/h in urban areas, 60 km/h on secondary roads, and up to 100 km/h on expressways, with a legal blood alcohol limit of 0.05% BAC, mandatory seat belts for all passengers, and prohibited handheld mobile phone use.

  • Fuel stations, including Shell, Texaco, and local brands, are conveniently located near the airport and throughout the region, selling petrol by the U.S. gallon at approximately USD $5.50–$6.00 per gallon, with most stations offering full-service refuelling and accepting major credit cards.

  • One-way rentals are available between many destinations across the Dominican Republic's main island, such as Punta Cana or Santo Domingo, though additional drop-off charges may apply, and rental vehicles are strictly prohibited from being transported on any passenger ferries to islands like Saona.

  • Final Rentals partner suppliers monitor incoming flight schedules and generally hold confirmed reservations for one to two hours after the scheduled pickup time if flights are delayed, though booking several weeks in advance secures lower prices and allows time to review insurance options and fuel policies.
