For those who are missinformed regarding car insurance read this.
If you are more than 3 months in this country you WILL need a Dominican Driving licence in order that the company who is insuring you can REIMBURSE you in case of an accident or car stolen. Certain Companies (ie AMBER GUARDIAN) will NOT ask you if you have a Dominican licence or not, not necessary to be insured by them , take your money, not telling you the outcome of a CLAIM.I was told that if you were involved in a accident and you did not have a Dominican driving licence , you could bribe the police with a 200 Pesos donation ?????? (conversation recorded).
So be AWARE of being insured so easily and finding out that you have NO CLAIM.

I'd like to hear more about what happened. I know many foreigners living here that think they can get by with their driver license from back home. We just got our Canadian license validated and are trying to convince others to do the same. Please contact me usedcarinspector@gmail.com

NO you will not get any reimbursment from your insurance co if you have been more than 3 months here .YOU need a DDL to be covered for accidents and theft.It is quite easy to pass the test in Puerto Plata (next to stadium)You need to pay your taxes or impuestos at any BANK DE RESERVAS .(1950 pesos per application)Ask at the counter that you wish a formulario for you driving licence.Then you take your application to Dept of transport in PP.It took me and my wife 5 minutes each to pass the test, unlike Europe.
They will then issue you with a provisional licence for 45 days ( You are then covered with your insurance) then another impuestos of 990 PSD to pay for your permanent licence (4 years). The best insurance today is CANELA & ASSOCIADOS in SOSUA ( small parade of shops next to new hospital)Becki is in charge and will not issue an insurance without a DDL.
I have warned her that I will not tolerate any bullshit like AMBER GUARDIAN and she has complied, I am satisfied.She also provide good medical insurance competitively.Andrew Barnes this is for you too.Any further information contact me on ydj@hotmail.co.uk

I am a Canadian living in Puerto Plata, I drive with a Canadian licence. I have been told that you cannot get a DR licence without a cedula, and that takes 6 months and costs $1000.00 US +.
They told me that my licence with a cedula will cost $7000.00 RD
