Will they take Euros in the Domincan Republic?

Question

I know US dollars are excepted, but I have some Euros left from traveling. Would taxi drivers take them? What about the hotel? Bartenders?

Answer 1

They don't take Euros, but you are right they do take American dollars. They actually prefer it in some areas because of the exchange rate. However I would not use your credit card, either use an ATM and take out Pesos or exchange some money into US$ before you go. I had issues with my card and ended up being charged twice for some things. I had a total of $120 charged extra and my bank said that they couldn't help because they stated my card was present, which wasn't possible for some purchases because I was already in the US when the charges occurred. So good luck, have fun, but be careful :)

Answer 2

SAVE YOURSELF ALOT OF ASPIRIN AND WHENEVER AND WHEREVER POSSIBLE, PAY WITH A PESO .  IF YOU DECIDE NOT TO LISTEN TO STUPID WISEMAN OF SOSUA, TELL US ABOUT THE BENEFITS OF PAYING THE MOTOCONCHES WITH A MASTERCARD.

Answer 3

No.

You would have to get them exchanged.

Answer 4

Probably not.
