Punta Cana
Car rental from Secrets Cap Cana Resort & Spa for travelers
Renting a car from Secrets Cap Cana Resort & Spa is the fastest way to escape the resort bubble — Cap Cana Marina, Macao Beach, Hoyo Azul, Higüey colonial centre and the best independent restaurants are all 15–60 minutes away by road. We deliver the vehicle straight to the Secrets Cap Cana Resort & Spa lobby (free, ~12 min from PUJ airport collection) with fuel topped up, contract pre-signed and a child seat included on request, so you skip the rental-counter queue and the cab ride out of the property. The smart picks for this hotel are a full-size SUV — Cadillac Escalade or Chevrolet Suburban — because Dominican secondary roads are bumpy and the extra ride height plus all-leather A/C cabin makes the 45 min to Macao or the 25 min into Higüey a non-event for the whole family. We also handle airport drop-off pickup (you keep the car until PUJ, we collect it at departures), one-way hires to La Romana cruise port, and a chauffeur upgrade if anyone in the party prefers not to drive on the right-hand side. Quote, paperwork, insurance and hotel delivery confirmation all happen on one WhatsApp thread.

Local intel for car rental from Secrets Cap Cana Resort & Spa
Stuff we wish we'd known before our first car rental from Secrets Cap Cana Resort & Spa day: (1) The "free" excursions at the resort lobby are not free — they're a 30–50% mark-up on the same operators we use direct. (2) Atlantic side (Bávaro/Cabeza de Toro) gets afternoon chop; Caribbean side (Cap Cana, Saona) stays glassy. We factor that into which boat we recommend for your hotel. (3) The published "all-inclusive resort" price for car rental from Secrets Cap Cana Resort & Spa is usually $120–180 per person. Our direct rate for the same boat is closer to $70–110. We're not cheaper because we're worse — we're cheaper because we skip the kickback chain.
Why locals book with us
