Cibao International Airport (STI) car rental for travelers
Cibao International Airport (STI) car rental is the smoothest possible start to a Dominican trip — the northern-region airport for Santiago, Puerto Plata, Cabarete and the Cibao valley. We meet you in arrivals at STI 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 STI the realistic drive times are: Santiago centre 15 min, Puerto Plata 1h15, Cabarete 1h30, Jarabacoa 1h, Santo Domingo 2h. 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 STI, insurance, return — runs on one WhatsApp thread.
