Transfer to/from - Las Américas airport (SDQ)

Transportation

Door to Door Services

If you are looking for comfort and tranquility to move from Las Americas Airport to the city of Santo Domingo or its surroundings, you can opt for a private transfer service.

The best option is to book online and in advance your transfer to or from the airport. This way, a driver will be waiting for you and you will not have to negotiate prices with cabs or transfer companies. You can book a place in a shared vehicle for USD20.00, or hire a vehicle for 4 people for USD26.00 (total price per vehicle). There are also minibuses for 6 (USD38.50) and 11 passengers (USD58.00).

Reservations must be made at least 6 hours in advance. At the airport, the driver will be waiting for you with a sign with your name on it as soon as you leave the baggage claim area and enter the public area. If you are in a hotel or apartment, the driver will wait for you outside the building. If they have the possibility to park their vehicle, they may sometimes wait for you at the reception desk.

Although there are issues that seem more than obvious, it is always advisable to take them into account when moving to or from the airport, and especially if we go by public transport.  1- To the airport - It is convenient to leave with a little more anticipation than what is commonly suggested. If you choose a taxi or a private car service, always take into account peak traffic times, demonstrations, strikes or events that may delay the journey to the airport from where you are. It is always good to be informed about what is happening. If you contract a shared transfer service, have a contact telephone number handy in case of any delay by the company. In these cases they usually already have a scheduled collection time. If you use public transport (collective, train) take into account the schedules (weekends and holidays tend to have less frequency), if you have to change and also how to board (if you need a card or paying the driver or motorist at the moment ). These are details that seem obvious, but it is advisable to know so as not to have surprises and suffer a delay that could cause complications. If you rent a car to get to the airport, check where to leave the vehicle. At some airports, there is an exclusive parking lot for rental cars.  2 -From the airport- Here it is a little less stressful since you don't have the pressure of missing your flight. In the worst case, you will arrive later at the place where you are going to stay or at the meeting point where you are trying to arrive. Once you leave the plane, look for your suitcase and finish with the arrival procedures that are required. Then, follow the directions for public transportation or ask the airport staff. It is very useful to find out in advance the schedules of the buses or trains in case you arrive late at night. Not all work 24 hours. The same goes for taxis. In case of using an Uber-type service, have the mobile application handy to contact the driver. On the other hand, if you booked a private transport service, it is likely that they will have a person waiting for you, identified with a sign. If you rent a car to go from the airport to your final destination, for greater peace of mind it is advisable to book it in advance. Rental counters are usually available in the arrivals hall.
