About Car Rental in Punta Cana

A taste of Caribbean paradise, Punta Cana is the second-most popular tourist destination in Latin America, and it isn’t hard to see why. With stunning beaches, historic towns, an abundance of surrounding National Parks, and plenty of fun-filled activities to fill up your days with, there is so much to see and do. So, whether you’re going horseback riding across the dunes, jumping on a banana boat, or swimming with dolphins, we can guarantee that you will fall in love with this awe-inspiring town. And, at the end of the day, you will be able to soak it all in as you sip on a rum cocktail and watch the sun set over Punta Cana’s incredible turquoise waters.

With a wide range of all-inclusive resorts to stay at, you could be mistaken in thinking that you won’t need to rent a car to enjoy Punta Cana. However, there is a whole world of hidden adventures just beyond those resorts for those that wish to get behind a wheel and find them. Luckily for you, there are plenty of ways you can rent a car to explore this dazzling town. The Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ) is the primary airport here, receiving over half of all the flights that arrive in the Dominican Republic. With its palm fronds and tropical atmosphere, it invites you to the Caribbean as soon as you step off the plane, and the rental car centre is within walking distance of Terminal A. So, you can be off the plane and on your way in a matter of minutes, however we do recommend booking in advance to get much cheaper deals.
