Were leaving for Puerto Plata on Monday and we were thinking of hiring a car?

Question

I heard some negative things about the road conditions and the way they drive over there.

We are looking to travel by car to some white sandy beaches, towards the south, how long will it take and is it safe? has any one broken down midway whilst driving (i.e puncture?).

would it be better to just fly to the south coast or perhaps to Haiti (for the white beaches)

Any suggestions would be appreciated

Thanks

Hi!,

How is everything ?

OK, answering your questions: Some roads here are not of the best quality like in our countries. The Dominicans drives in a different way you are used to, so be careful. In case of a accident you must know the language well because it night be a problem for you! In case of injuries you may be sure that they will defend there self, but you? Ending a cost of much money. Going to Haiti? This nice until the border and then...

If you need a rental car just let me know by mail, but be cautious! By the way white beaches are also present in Puerto Plata.

Happy Feet

I fly if I were you putting in mind driving on the wrong side of the road like we used to in the Uk might be a problem, and you don't want to be taking advantage of, take the more secure way and fly, I would
