Check in & Pick Up Info for Unaccompanied Minors – POP

The Dominican Republic has strict requirements concerning the travel of minors (persons under the age of 18) to/from the Dominican Republic. Any customer under the age of 18 who is unaccompanied, traveling with someone other than both parents or legal guardians, or who is traveling with only one parent or legal guardian, should contact the Dominican Republic Consulate in the United States or the Dominican Republic Ministry of Foreign Affairs for entry/exit requirements.

Photo identification is required for both parties who drop off and pick up an unaccompanied minor. Unaccompanied minors will not be accepted without the guardian’s photo ID.

There are also car rental agencies in Sosua, offering various types of deals in a more informal setting. Local drivers can be hired with a van for about $100.00 per day for 6-8 passengers and $150.00 per day in a larger van for 12 passengers. It is better to have a private driver if the traveler will drink alcohol, or is not used to driving in a country like the Dominican Republic. Visit our Sosua car rental page for more information.
