Opened in 2000, La Romana International Airport is located on the southeastern coast of the Dominican Republic. Its location is strategically quite magnificent. It is after all adjacent to the tourist town of La Romana and the resort of Casa de Campo. It is only 68 miles (110 km) away from the capital – Santa Domingo. The building itself is intriguing, since the only one terminal of the airport is built in the style of an old sugar mill.
The airport serves mostly to flights from the United States, Canada and Europe. Among other flights they receive, most of them are flying in from Caribbean islands like Puerto Rico and Cuba. It is an estimate that most the flights that land here are private flights, chiefly businessmen that visit a Romana and from there to Casa de Campo.
Renting a car at La Romana Airport
With plenty of car rental services, hoarding the main airport waiting for tourists to pass them by, the prices and deals they offer are pretty neat. They are easy to hire a car through on the airport, or on the line before you reach the airport itself.
Renting a car is actually a great way to commence your journey. It will give you the opportunity to enjoy and organize your vacation or trip as you please. The cars offered are in great shape and condition, so you don’t feel uncomfortable when you go around exploring the city.
