Being more understanding with personal issues and offer solutions, I’ve never use the car because my flight was changed and I wanted modified the pick up date and was not possible so I pay without using the service.7.2 Good

Pros:
Nothing. There is no one thing which I likes.Cons:
They ripped me off. Overcharged. Used our poor language, threatened us, made us sign paper without explanation under pressure. They said ALL THIS HAS TO BE ON CONTRACT. BY later in their email they said it wasn't necessary. We pay over $600 more. The Allianz insurance wasn't legit for their policy.2.0 Poor

Jun 2017
Cons:
My flight was delayed. Alamo was aware of my flight number because it was notified by reservation and they are at the airport. Alamo closed and I left without transportation at the airport. I will never book again. I had a bad time and I was distressed to stay without transportation in a country that did not know anyone. I had to settle with another company.4.0 Mediocre
Jun 2017
Pros:
Decent carCons:
Got completely ripped off. Alamo did not honor the price I signed up for and forced me to to pay over $400 when I signed up for a car that was supposed to cost $1372.0 Poor
May 2017
Cons:
I did not rent the car because when we got there and we showed the rate we had the guy keep saying that is impossible you have no insurance he wanted to charge us insurance for 3 days $175.00 and the car rate $43 for the 3 das we thought it was outrages and decided to take a cab to the resort which was only $35.0010.0 Wonderful

Feb 2017
Pros:
NothingCons:
My rate for a rental in DR was surprisingly affordable when I booked online. I went ahead and purchased the insurance made available during booking. When I arrived at the rental counter, additional insurance was required with the rental, regardless of the policy I'd purchased (mistakenly believing it was part of Alamo's a la carte options). So I had a useless insurance policy and the required Alamo insurance more than doubled the online quote. Bastards.5.2 Fair

Jan 2017
Pros:
Absolutely nothing.Cons:
The fact that when we arrived they had no vehicles. Literally none and did not even try to help us find one. And we arrived ahead of our scheduled pick-up time to be safe. Horrible customer service and horrible company. Not what one wants to deal with when they arrive to a foreign country. Unacceptable.2.0 Poor
Jan 2017
Pros:
I would be capable to disband Kayak from the Internet.Cons:
They promised us to bring the car in Bavaro although, in the very first day they invited us in Punta Cana Aiport. After we made more than 5 phone calls, on European roaming, calls consisting of: wait a second, wait a second, and we were discussing with many, many operators, calling us on Terminal A, afterwards on Terminal B, and again on A and B, we found out that they didn't even have the car we ordered. We had to pay 70 USD taxi, round trip and also 282 USD insurance for no car. It was a disaster that destroyed our holiday. It's a huge mistake to have them as your franchisors. They don't speak English, it's a huge waiting time, no car, and the services are a disaster!5.2 Fair
Nov 2016
Pros:
NothingCons:
Bait and switch on prices. My rental before arrival was around 270 dollars and at the airport it turned into 597 dollars. Apperantly they do not accept the rental insurance I have bought thru Kayak (which Kayak recommended) so I was forced to buy their insurance which turned out to be more than the rental itself. Horrible rental company and I am not happy with Kayak that offered me insurance. So pretty much I got screwed. Never again am I booking rentals thru a website.Thrifty

Jan 2017
Pros:
Reservation made sept 2016 for the ONLY vacation I get all year at Christmas. Confirmed six times - even before leaving LAX! Arrived and was told "sorry lady we have no cars". Without all the horrible details here's a f ew: - 3.5 hours begging/crying at counter they did not care although my reservation was acknowledged. - Christmas day, traveling solo and disabled, they did not care. - Supervisor got on phone, he did not care. - I had nowhere to go and NO transportation. - 3.5 hours later "we found a car it will be $800" THIEVES AND LIARS. I witnessed FIVE other renters on either side of the Thrifty rental counter told the same thing.Cons:
Learned from MANY locals, "they do it all the time". - my reservation was for 16 days $300. I would NEVER give that country one dime out of my own pocket although the USA has given them HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of dollars to rebuild. Their culture is deplorable. They need to be delivered from the rampant "deception with a smile."2.0 Poor
Jan 2017
Pros:
NOTHINGCons:
I have rented cars for a little over 10 years now and this was the worst car experience. I rented a car in Punta cana for 13 days and when I got there around 2 pm when I go to pick my car up there wasn't any available. Not even that, before I left for my trip I confirmed it and they told me my car was available. Don't know how that works?? And to end the story short they triple the price? Worst car rental in the caribbean!!!! DONT RENT THRIFTY IN PUNTA CANA.2.0 Poor
Jan 2017
Cons:
They overbook and dies not have a car for me , the supervisor said that my reservation was "expired" becaude i arrive 2 hours late. They try to look for an indepent car rental that charge me 700 usd, when i book for 250 usd. Horrible experience5.2 Fair
Dec 2016
Pros:
The car drove nice, but was a stiff ride in the back seat for two adults. We were able to get four adult and 6+ bags. The air conditioning worked well. It had enough power to manuver when needed.Cons:
The Hyundai Accent is a small "Full size" car. Very short leg space in the back seat. The outside of the car was clean enough, but the inside of the windshield was very bad. Refracted the sunlight to the point we had to stop and find water and towels to scrub the inside clean. I expected the required liablity insurance to be extra, but the required ups and extras almost doubled the original quoted cost. I was very nervious driving, fearing someone might hit me and we were warned of the consequences.4.4 Mediocre
Oct 2016
Pros:
Car was fairly new and clean. Upon return rep drove us to our terminal in the car and helped us manage our luggage.Cons:
There were surprise extra charges and they insisted on putting a $1500 hold on my credit card because I declined their insurance. The car was smaller than what I reserved and there were no other options so we squeezed in and didn't have a very safe situation. There were several stickers partially removed from the windshield that obstructed the view.2.0 Poor

Oct 2018
Pros:
We had a Ford Explorer SUV that was able to fit our big group and was clean, drove perfectly, it would have been a 5 star review had there not been poor service with Europcar and the insurance scam they pulled on usCons:
I rented a SUV from Europcar through carrentals.com I purchased the insurance package through car rentals and when I go to Punta Cana they told me that for the SUV I cannot have the insurance I bought, I must purchase Europcar's insurance package. They also said that they DID NOT have it in writing as to where that actual company policy exists. They also did not have any paperwork that showed the different insurance packages. It seemed very sketchy and when I asked if there was a supervisor to speak to the guy said he was the supervisor. My rental went from being $375 to almost $700 with the little insurance scam. I emailed Europcar's customer service the day it happened, after my 7 day trip I still had not heard anything and still two weeks later have not heard from them.2.0 Poor

Pros:
I didn't like that it was a very misleading experience. I booked through Kayak.com at a price and when I got to Hertz they said that they couldn't give me the value I was offered on the website and charged me double of what I expecting to pay.3.6 Poor
Jan 2020
Pros:
Convenience, dropped it off at a different locationCons:
The insurance we reserved was a joke. It was 10 dollars a day on the Kayak site only to find out when we got to the Hertz facility they wanted to charge more for insurance than the entire car rental price. We had 2 dents on the car that I told the hertz guy about. He saw them and agreed, but didn't add them to the damage sheet! So, at the other end, they are trying to charge us for dents that I have pictures of on my phone! The language barrier was a joke. If I have to pay for damage that was already on the car, I'll be coming back to Hertz for this.4.0 Mediocre
Jul 2019
Pros:
Honesty upon returnCons:
Was quoted a price and when I picked up the car I was downgraded to an suv that was not close to a “Tahoe or similar vehicle”. I was forced to sign into multiple types of coverages that according to the rep were mandatory. Price more than doubled from quite. Rep on return advised none were mandatory2.0 Poor

I was given one price online and at the counter I had additional charges that no one could assist me with. I had to paid an additional $60 for dropping it off at the same location I had reserved it for but was told that it was not included in the price of reservation, I was force to use their insurance for an additional $20 otherwise they would not release the car even though I had my own insurance.2.0 Poor

It is a total rip off. Our confirmation stated that we would not have to pay anything else. They added over $250 to the agreed total. We spoke to their customer service desk and got no where. The first day they gave us an economy car when we prepaid for a mid suv. NO credit there. Car was filthy.2.0 Poor
Aug 2018
Cons:
It's hard to explain, because I didn't really understand it myself. But I'll try: I book a car that was $101 for five days. When I got there the total price ended up being over $550.00. Apparently theres an insurance and other fees that are not mentioned when booking that is required to rent a car. They photo copy your ID, passport, and credit Card too. After it was all said and done. I choose not to rent the car and was charged a $50 no show fee.2.0 Poor

Top tips for renting a car at Punta Cana Airport
- Whether you’re traveling to Punta Cana for pleasure or business, you’ll need a car rental to make your trip enjoyable. Car rental at Punta Cana Airport (PUJ) gives you an opportunity to arrive at your final destination in style. Car rental is also a better option for travelers going about their business in this part of the Dominican Republic. A nice rental vehicle will certainly allow you to check out all the most amazing places that buses and other public transportation cannot access.
- Punta Cana Airport car rental companies have varying restrictions for car renters. In particular, the renter’s age is of great importance. Therefore, you need to be at least 21 years old to book a car at PUJ International Airport. You may be charged an additional fee if you’re under 25 years old. In case you want to involve an additional driver, most car rental agencies will require the other driver to sign the contract and be present at the rental desk with you. Additional fees for the extra driver may apply.
- To avoid long lines at Punta Cana International Airport, make sure to head straight to the onsite car rental facility. While at the car rental counter, compare deals across major car suppliers to find the most appropriate one for your travel requirements and budget. Alternatively, you can make an online car rental reservation early before your arrival date to save money and time. Bear in mind that the average rates of a car rental at Punta Cana Airport can vary depending on popularity, supply, and how early you reserve your rental car.
- Most car rental companies at PUJ have their own policies that you should know before you even start your rental car engine. One of these policies is the full tank policy which requires you to return the car with a full tank of fuel. If you return it with less fuel than what you began with, the car rental agency may charge you some fee to top it up before you catch your flight. Another important policy is unlimited mileage. Some companies have a limited miles policy while others have unlimited. The latter gives you unlimited possibilities to go anywhere you want during the car rental period.
- Book your rental car at Punta Cana Airport at least 3 weeks before your trip in order to get a below-average price
