$35 Car Rental Sarasota

Sarasota has plenty to keep you busy, but don't restrict yourself to one place. Pick up a set of wheels and hit the road to discover what else awaits in the surrounding area. Here are some places to consider:

• Puerto Plata is around 100 miles from Sarasota. Famous sights like Playa Dorada should be high on your list here.
• Why not enjoy the wonders of Punta Cana too? Top sights here include Bavaro Beach. Punta Cana is roughly 100 miles from Sarasota.
• Get into the outdoors and breathe in some fresh air at La Ensenada Beach. You'll find it about 130 miles from Sarasota.

If you don't have a driver's license issued in Dominican Republic, then you'll likely need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country in order to rent a car. It's also important to note that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll have to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some other things to note for international car rentals are:

• Age restrictions: You'll need to be at least 25 in most places to rent a car. If you're younger than that, it may still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of vehicles you can rent.
• Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive away. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or go off-roading with a rental vehicle.
