Armored Vehicles and Executive Protection in the Dominican Republic

The short answer

Armored vehicles are not part of our standard bookable fleet, so you will not find them in the online booking flow. They are arranged on request for executive protection assignments — corporate security details, high-profile visits and similar work — and quoted case by case after we understand the itinerary, the cities involved and the protection level required. Everything else, from airport transfers to multi-day chauffeur service, runs on the standard fleet.

What is bookable online, and what is not

Our online fleet has five categories: Small SUV, Minivan, Full-Size SUV, Mercedes Sprinter and Large Bus. Those cover airport transfers, private chauffeur days, group movements and corporate events across the country, and you can price and confirm them yourself in the booking flow.

Armored transport is a different category of work. It is not a vehicle upgrade — it involves route planning, driver selection, coordination with a protection team and, frequently, more than one vehicle. That is why it is handled as an assignment rather than a product with a checkout button.

How to request it

Contact us directly and describe the assignment rather than the vehicle. The details that matter:

  • Cities and routes involved, and whether movements are urban, intercity or airport-linked.
  • Dates, and whether coverage is a single movement or standing over several days.
  • Number of principals and staff, and whether a protection team travels with them.
  • Whether the client's own security provider is directing the detail or we are coordinating it.

We will tell you plainly what we can field for that scope and what we cannot. If a request is outside what we can staff to the standard we hold ourselves to, we say so rather than subcontract it quietly.

Coverage

Assignments can be positioned around the airports we already serve daily — Santo Domingo (SDQ), Punta Cana (PUJ), La Romana (LRM) — and in Santiago, Puerto Plata, Las Terrenas and the capital. Availability outside those areas depends on the dates and is confirmed before anything is agreed.

If what you actually need is discreet, not armored

Most executive travel here does not need armor. It needs a vetted driver who knows the city, a vehicle that does not attract attention, punctual positioning and someone answering the phone at 05:00. That is private chauffeur service, and it is bookable online today. For delegations and corporate events, see groups and events.
