Punta Cana
Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ) car rental for travelers
Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ) car rental is the smoothest possible start to a Dominican trip — the busiest gateway to the Dominican east coast and the default arrival point for 95% of our guests. We meet you in arrivals at PUJ with a name sign, walk you to the vehicle in the official airport lot, and hand over keys with the tank full, insurance bundled, contract pre-signed on WhatsApp and a child seat installed on request. From PUJ the realistic drive times are: Bavaro 25 min, Cap Cana 12 min, Uvero Alto 45 min, Bayahibe 75 min, La Romana 80 min, Santo Domingo 2h15. The smart pick for arrivals is a full-size SUV — Cadillac Escalade or Chevrolet Suburban — because Dominican roads are bumpy in places and the extra ride height plus a leather A/C cabin makes the first drive easy on a jet-lagged family with five suitcases. We also handle one-way rentals to other Dominican airports (PUJ ↔ LRM ↔ SDQ), late-night flights, early-morning departures and a chauffeur upgrade if anyone prefers not to drive on the right-hand side. Everything — quote, paperwork, meeting point at PUJ, insurance, return — runs on one WhatsApp thread.
