I was just there in february '07. We rented a car from a reputable dealer at the airport in santo domingo, then drove the car across the country to the north and as far west as samana as well. We had no trouble with fuel or break-ins. The roads are bad but nothing a vehicle can't handle. We spent a couple days in Cabarete staying at Ali's Surf Camp. Badass little place that's super-cheap and has AWESOME food!!
