Grab your bags, walk out of Punta Cana Airport (PUJ-Punta Cana Intl.), and pick up your rental car. Which one you hop into depends on where you’re venturing. If you’ll be mostly driving in downtown Punta Cana, around 2 miles from the terminal, you’ll want something small. A compact car with good handling will suit those bustling city streets. But with almost endless things to see, like the scenic coral reefs of the region, you may want to make a few pit stops. A larger vehicle, like a full-size car or an SUV, will make longer road trips more comfortable.
