Taxis

Taxis are readily available outside the arrivals terminal. It is highly recommended to use the officially sanctioned airport taxis and to agree on the fare with the driver before starting your journey, as fares are typically fixed based on destination zones. Ride-sharing services like Uber are also operational in Santo Domingo and can be used for pickups at the airport.

Rental Cars

Several car rental agencies, including international brands like Avis and Budget, have counters located within the airport's arrivals hall. It is advisable to book your vehicle in advance, especially during peak travel seasons, to ensure availability and secure better rates. An International Driving Permit may be required in addition to your standard driver's license.

Public Transportation

There are no direct public bus or metro lines that service La Isabela International Airport. To connect with Santo Domingo's public transportation system, such as the local buses ('guaguas') or the Santo Domingo Metro, you would first need to take a taxi from the airport to the nearest bus route or metro station. This option is generally not recommended for travelers with luggage due to its inconvenience.
