You are required to have insurance before you rent in Dominican Republic. Although many of the major card issuers, like Visa or Discover, offer some coverage, there are usually restrictions. For example, you may not be covered if you book a luxury or larger vehicle. Make sure to check credit card company's policy before you decide.

Budget requires a deposit when you book your rental. Budget will block the deposit on your credit once you reserve your vehicle for your trip. Please note that the deposit will vary greatly depending on the model and make of the vehicle.
At CarRentals.com, we encourage a full tank policy. You receive the car with a full tank. If you return your rental with less than the amount that you received it with, most companies will charge a premium, and sometimes up to 3X the amount of current gas prices to refill it. To avoid any added expenses, it is best to find a filling station before you bring it back to Budget.
Santiago certainly has its charms, but you may want to take to the road after you've checked off all the activities here.
