Should I hire a car in Punta Cana

What's the best way to get around Punta Cana? Shuttles might seem convenient, but typically, they only go to major attractions, making it more difficult to get to smaller attractions or towns. Hiring a driver can get expensive, and public transport forces you to adhere to someone else's schedule on your holiday.

When you rent a car from Enterprise, you have the flexibility to customise your trip. Enjoy the fun things you want to do when it is convenient for your schedule – no one else's. Ready to dip your toes in the waters at Bavaro Beach? Or learn about local flora and fauna at Reserva Ecológica Ojos Indígenas (Ojos Indígenas Ecological Reserve)? With your Enterprise Rental Car, you can arrive early (or later) and visit these awe-inspiring attractions without crowded tour buses.

Whether you're looking for customisation or convenience, renting a car through Enterprise will help you make the most of your Punta Cana holiday.
