Alamo is the cheapest company at Santo Domingo Airport for an Intermediate car, averaging $59 a day over the last 12 months from 584 prices, but its counter requires a credit card. Auto-Union is next at $84 a day across 618 prices, while Hertz averages $135. Alamo does not yet have enough reviews for a score. Every desk sits directly at the airport, so saving money does not mean leaving the terminal for a shuttle bus.

The cheapest company can cost you a longer queue or a bigger deposit, so check the review score and desk wait beside each car in the results before you book.

Santo Domingo Airport rental desks hold between $200 with Hertz and $9,956 with Ace on your card, and all 11 desks take credit cards only. Not a single desk accepts a debit card, so you must bring a physical credit card in the lead driver's name. The exact deposit for each vehicle appears beside the car in search results. Extras charged at the desk are listed under each vehicle with their price before you confirm.

If you bring your own child seat, check your airline's rules first: most carry one free, some charge.

The main catch at Santo Domingo Airport is card payment: all 11 desks refuse debit cards and insist on a credit card in the primary driver's name. Hold sizes vary wildly between suppliers, running from $200 with Hertz to an eye-watering $9,956 with Ace. Desk waits also differ sharply, from 3 minutes at Goldcar to 30 minutes at Sixt. While every counter is located inside the terminal, showing up without a credit card leaves you stranded on the curb.

Only 81% of prices at Santo Domingo Airport are full tank out, full tank back, so read the fuel line under the car before you book.

Santo Domingo Airport quotes an Intermediate car like the Hyundai Tucson at around $63 a day in October 2026, which fits 5 people with room for 3 bags. That extra ground clearance and luggage room helps on longer drives out of town. A Compact car like the Chevrolet Trax takes 2 bags at $47 a day, but packing 5 people means soft bags on laps. 93% of cars offered are automatic and cost $6 less a day than manuals, while electric and hybrid cars make up just 1% of what is offered, so do not count on an EV.
