Selected pickup city: Punta Cana
Punta Cana runs almost entirely on an all-inclusive resort model, with Bávaro Beach as the main draw, which means many visitors never actually need a car during their stay — but for those wanting to see beyond the resort gates, a rental opens up the rest of the eastern Dominican Republic. Roads directly around the resort zone are generally in good condition, though driving standards and road conditions vary noticeably once you head further inland or toward Santo Domingo. The Dominican Republic drives on the right, and rental cars here are usually automatic, a contrast with much of Latin America.
Bávaro Beach itself, with its long stretch of white sand and turquoise water, is the area's headline attraction and genuinely lives up to the postcard image in the calmer coves. Indigenous Eyes Ecological Park, a network of freshwater lagoons within walking trails near the resort zone, offers a quieter, greener break from the beach. Saona Island, reached by boat rather than car, is a popular day trip if you're willing to combine driving to the departure point with a boat crossing.
Higüey, about forty-five minutes inland, is home to the Basilica of Our Lady of Altagracia, a striking modern cathedral and pilgrimage site worth the detour for something beyond beach scenery. Santo Domingo, the capital, is a genuine multi-hour drive west and better treated as an overnight trip given its Colonial Zone's UNESCO-listed old town. Closer by, Macao Beach offers a wilder, less developed alternative to Bávaro's resort-lined shore.
Road conditions and driving habits shift noticeably once you leave the main resort corridor, so stay alert for motorbikes, animals, and uneven surfaces on rural roads. Fuel stations are common near the resort zone but sparser inland, so plan ahead for longer trips toward Santo Domingo. Police checkpoints on main roads are routine — keep documents accessible and expect occasional stops even without any wrongdoing.
