Frequently Asked Questions

We understand that traveling to a new destination comes with concerns. Here are answers to common questions to help you feel confident and prepared for your trip.

What are the most common scams travelers fall for in the Dominican Republic?

Some of the most frequent scams include fake taxi services charging outrageous fees, unofficial tour guides leading tourists to overpriced businesses, and street vendors pressuring tourists into paying for “free” items. Credit card cloning at ATMs and hotels is also a major issue. Jeff provides insider knowledge to help you spot and avoid these scams before they happen.

Are all-inclusive resorts in the Dominican Republic actually safer than independent travel?

While all-inclusive resorts offer security and convenience, they don’t guarantee scam-free travel. Many tourists are still targeted by inflated excursion prices, misleading transportation deals, and off-site scams. Jeff’s guidance helps both independent travelers and resort guests navigate safely.

Is Uber safe to use in the Dominican Republic?

Uber can be a safer option than street taxis, but there are still risks. Some drivers cancel trips last-minute to negotiate a cash deal, while others try to take longer routes to increase fares. Jeff’s expertise ensures you know the safest ways to use Uber without falling into these traps.

How can I tell if an Airbnb or hotel is legit?

Fake listings and misleading photos are common issues. Jeff provides a verified list of reputable accommodations and teaches you red flag warning signs to spot fake or low-quality rentals before booking.

What should I do if I think I’m being scammed during my trip?

Stay calm, never hand over cash or personal documents, and politely decline offers that feel suspicious. Jeff provides real-time support and expert strategies to de-escalate tricky situations and avoid financial loss.

Can I negotiate prices in the Dominican Republic?

Absolutely! In many markets, transportation services, and even small shops, prices are inflated for tourists. Jeff teaches smart negotiation tactics to ensure you pay fair prices without offending locals or getting taken advantage of.
