Arrived at counter to pickup my car, only they ran out of the car I reserved. They offered me a large suv that was 2.5 times more expensive or a subcompact that wouldn’t hold our passengers/luggage. Ended up leaving without a car after 75 minutes at the counter. Cabs ended up costing me much more than what I reserved.

My rental was for 43 dollars, and when I arrived at the pickup location, they told me that the total with taxes and service charges was 93 dollars per day, plus I had to pay a USD$ 200 dollars deposit. I will not recommend it.

When we arrived with our reservation, we were told that they did not have any cars. We were finally told that they did have two other cars but that it would cost us another 900$. We finally had to go to a different agency and pay an additional $300. Extremely poor service and the first time this has ever happened to us.
Clearness of the car and quality of the car- it was loosing power.

The pickup and drop off is 15 minutes from the airport. You will have to meet someone somewhere and then they drive you to the location. Once you are there they will try to upsell

The check in took way too long. The car was not clean. I found it very unprofessional to charge and expect me to clean a car that was not clean when I received it. I was a charged a cleaning fee without being told a fee was required. I am very unsatisfied with this car rental.

We had to cancel our trip to Santo Domingo due to unavailability of the van we reserved. National wrote the same day we would take the car saying they did not has the Van we booked. They offered us to provide 2 cars at the end of the day (for the same price) which impacted us as we would had to pay double the gasoline by using two cars. We were not able to do our planned activities because of the unavailable of the van. It is so sad that we reserved with almost 2 weeks I'm advance and the car agency did not reserved the van for us.

Pick-up and drop-off were efficient and quick. Great location outside terminal. Vehicle was fine and got us around safely. No complaints!
Cost of car was inaccurate. I had to pay way more then expected, and I had to place a large hold on my card.

The SUV I rented only had 1/8 tank of gas to start with. The white cloth seats were filthy. It looked like some mechanics had sat in there in their dirty work clothes. The rental and return process is rather lengthy, in spite of having a reservation and returning on time.

No office inside the airport. No signage. No shuttle pickup. And that’s just for starters. Wrong car the first try, had to come BACK to the airport the next morning for my reserved car. Long wait time., overall subpar experience.

I was charged for additional insurance when making the reservation and when i picked up my car was told the insurance I had was not acceptable and needed to take out budgets insurance which ended up costing me double what i was expecting to pay. car rental pick up in Santo Domingo is a very long and drawn out procedure it took me over 30 minutes to complete all the paper work and get the required documents and pay so i could go and get the car. the entire pick up process from time I got to the counter until I drove off the lot was over an hour which is just not acceptable. When finally departing with the car I was not informed that on return I must not follow signs to car rental drop off but go towards the terminal where the new budget office is. So on my return I went to the car rental area and once inside I realized I was in the wrong spot and then could not exit as needed a ticket to exit called budget who said they would come get me in about 5 minutes but this did not happen after waiting for about 20 minutes was fortunate that an employee from another rental company gave me an exit ticket so I get out and told me where to go. When I finally got to the budget drop off office and asked why I was not informed not to follow car rental signs was told but you picked the car up from here you should have know. Though by using a well know company would avoid all these issues but realize that was not the case. if renting cars at Las Americas airport Santo Domingo factor in at least 1 hour or more to get your car

I tried to arrange everything before I went but when I got there they still tacked on a ton of charges nearly doubling the price of the car.
