FAQ's about Dominican Pesos
Your daily travel budget in the Dominican Republic varies depending on the destination and travel style. On average, expect to spend RD$2,000 to RD$4,000 per day. Tourist hubs like Punta Cana and Santo Domingo can be more expensive, while smaller towns and rural areas are more affordable. Factor in meals, transport, attractions, and any unplanned spending.
The Dominican Peso (DOP / RD$) is available in both coins and banknotes.
Coins: RD$1, RD$5, RD$10, RD$25
Banknotes: RD$20, RD$50, RD$100, RD$200, RD$500, RD$1,000, RD$2,000
Smaller notes are useful for taxis, markets, and local shops.
Yes, cash is widely accepted throughout the Dominican Republic. Local shops, markets, taxis, cafés, and smaller businesses often prefer cash over any other form of payment. Rural and less touristy areas may exclusively accept cash, making it essential for day‑to‑day spending.
Foreign currencies such as US Dollars may be accepted in some tourist resorts, but everyday purchases elsewhere require Dominican Pesos. For the best value and consistency, it’s always recommended to pay in local currency.
Tipping is customary. Many restaurants automatically include a 10% service charge on the bill. Additional tips of 5–10% for good service are appreciated. Taxi drivers do not require tips, but rounding up is polite. Hotel staff and tour guides also appreciate small gratuities.
Meal prices vary by location:
Street food & local eateries: RD$150–RD$300
Mid‑range restaurants: RD$300–RD$800 per person
Tourist or resort dining: RD$1,000+ per person
Local “comedores” provide excellent value for authentic Dominican meals.
It’s advisable to buy enough Pesos to cover your first few days, including meals, transport, and essentials. Since many smaller establishments only accept cash, having an adequate cash amount is important throughout your trip.
The best time to buy DOP is when exchange rates are favourable. Monitor the rate in the weeks before your trip. Buying ahead helps avoid sudden fluctuations, especially during peak holiday seasons.
The Dominican Peso is only used in the Dominican Republic. Surrounding Caribbean nations each use their own currencies.
We’ll buy back any unused Dominican Pesos purchased through our Buy Back Scheme, giving you value back after your trip.
You can buy Dominican Pesos via Click & Collect, by visiting a branch, or through home delivery, making it easy to get your travel money before departure.
Carrying cash is generally safe, but precautions are recommended. Keep your money in a secure wallet or money belt, avoid displaying large sums, and store extra cash in your hotel safe, especially in busy tourist areas.
