Transportation from Santo Domingo Airport to Santo Domingo City Center

You can find a taxi 24/7 at the airport. Taxis here charge a fixed price to take passengers into the city. However, there may be unofficial changes to this fixed schedule during high season, so you can also book your journey online before arriving at the airport.
The distance between the city center and the airport is 30 km and the journey normally takes 45 minutes. You can pay the taxi driver in cash, either in US dollars or in Dominican pesos, but since the fixed rate is set in US dollars, the taxi driver's own exchange rate may be lower than you expect when you pay in pesos.

For your transfer, you can hire a shuttle from local companies or from the tour sites of familiar global companies. Thus, you will have a vehicle that greets you with your name at the airport and takes you to your hotel without wasting time.
