Ground Transportation

Last updated: Jul 22, 2025
Taxis

Authorized taxis are available directly outside the arrivals terminal. Fares to popular destinations like Puerto Plata, SosĂşa, and Cabarete are typically based on a fixed rate. It is highly recommended to confirm the price with the driver before starting your journey.

Rental Cars

Several international and local car rental agencies have desks located within the arrivals hall. Major companies include Avis, Budget, Hertz, Europcar, and National. It is advisable to book your vehicle in advance, especially during peak travel seasons, to ensure availability and better rates.

Public Transportation

Direct public bus service from the terminal is limited. The primary forms of local public transit, such as 'gua-guas' (shared vans) and 'carros pĂşblicos' (shared taxis), can be accessed by walking a short distance from the airport to the main highway. This option is generally more suitable for budget-conscious travelers who are familiar with the local system and are traveling with light luggage.

re: luggage inspection Posted by on January 27, 2013

They can go through it after you pick it up because you don't go through customs until you have your luggage in hand. I have gone through customs there many times and have never had my luggage checked. Maybe you looked a little suspecious to them. Illegal drugs are not allowed in the country; there not allower in the Us and Canadas either. You will be arrested.

luggage inspection Posted by on October 18, 2011

Why do they go throught our luggage after we pick it up off the luggage carosall and do they have the right to take things out of it and is there a list of things we cannot bring into the country.

OMG - what if that was your Granny, Mother, Sister, or Auntie? Is your life that horrible that you cannot find anything else in your heart to comment on other than you had to wait! What is this world coming too? You honestly need to pray and search for guidance in your life. HONESTLY

Reply to @Cougar20: maybe next time it will be our life at risk and youll realize what a jerk you are for complaining about a 2 hour wait

Rough! Posted by viennatech on November 21, 2007

The captain informed us it would be bumpy on landing. Bumpy as in severe turbulence bumpy. We made it in fine. The airport is more of a shack. Shows you how they did things in the pre computer era. Imagine checking in hundreds of people using stickers and pens. This is in 2005!
