What travelers ask us most about this route, answered by the people who drive it.
eTransfers local teamDriving this route since 2010 Verified by our team at PUJ
What time should I book the pickup for?
For the way in you do not choose: we read the flight number and the driver is there when you land, however late it is. For the way back we confirm the exact time the night before, counting 25 min of road plus the check-in window.
Is it worth it for two people?
The price is per vehicle, so two people pay the same $50 as four. Against two airport taxi fares it usually wins; against one, it is about even and you get a closed price and a driver who waits.
We are bringing a lot of luggage
One suitcase and one carry-on per passenger is included and nothing is charged by the bag. Golf clubs, surfboards, pushchairs and wheelchairs fit — tell us when you book so we send the right vehicle, at no extra cost.
Can we stop on the way?
Yes. A stop at a supermarket or a pharmacy is the one almost everybody asks for, and it is added when you book rather than negotiated with the driver.

Questions about getting to Bavaro
How long does it take to get from Punta Cana Airport to Bavaro?
About 25 min without traffic, calculated from distance and speed limits. At rush hour it can take longer; the price stays the same.
How much is a transfer from Punta Cana Airport to Bavaro?
From $50 per vehicle one way, with taxes, tolls and luggage included. It is a price per vehicle and not per person, so a family or a group splits it. You see the full list by vehicle further up this page.
Is the price per person or per vehicle?
Per vehicle. One price covers every seat in it, and child seats are free and do not take up a paid seat. The more of you there are, the less it costs each.
Is it cheaper than a taxi?
Almost always, and more importantly it is known in advance. Airport taxis are a concession with a fixed fare per zone, posted at the exit and not negotiable, and they usually sit well above a transfer booked ahead.
Can I use Uber or a ride app instead?
Ride apps work in the area but cannot pick up inside the airport, and at night there may be nothing available. What you find at the terminal are the authorised taxis. A booked transfer is the only option with the price closed before you land.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
Nothing. We track the flight number, the driver adjusts, and the price is the same. That is the whole reason we ask for the flight number when you book.
Can I cancel?
With the Premium fare, yes: free up to 24 hours before pickup, with no explanation and no fee, and changes are free up to 12 hours before. The Economy fare, the cheapest one, has no free cancellation, but it includes one change if you let us know at least 24 hours ahead.
Do you take us to any hotel in Bavaro?
Any address inside the zone, at the same price: hotel, rental, private house or the ferry pier. If your hotel is not in the list above, type it in the search box and it will come up.
How much luggage can we bring?
One suitcase and one carry-on per passenger is included. If you are traveling with golf clubs, a surfboard or a pushchair, tell us when you book and we will put you in the right vehicle at no extra cost.
Is the transfer private or shared?
Private. The vehicle is yours: no other passengers, no waiting for anyone else to land and no stops on the way unless you ask for one.
