Transportation from Montego Bay City Center to Sangster International Airport
Many hotels in Jamaica provide free transfer services to their customers. First of all, check if your hotel has a paid or free shuttle service. If your hotel does not provide you with a transfer service, there are many means of transportation to the airport.
The fastest way to reach Sangster Airport from Montego Bay city center is to take a taxi. You can recognize vehicles authorized to transport passengers by their red plates. While the plates start with P (Passenger/Passenger) in normal taxis, JUTA is written on the red plates of the minibuses. You can learn the cost of one-way or round-trip transfers from the fare calculation page on the airport's official website.
Credit cards are not valid in taxis. You have to pay the taxi driver in cash. In order not to deal with the change problem, always take care to have coins with you. If you are going to use a taxi, make a note of the license plate of the taxi to use in case of any future problems.
As a very close option, you can book a private transfer from the tourism agencies on the island or from your hotel. Thus, even if the distance is short, your transfer to Sangster International Airport will be effortless and fast. If you are wondering where to find a reliable agency, you can start with the contact information given on the airport's official website.
None of the public transportation options operating in the city of Montego Bay come close to the airport, let alone arrive. Therefore, all passengers are transported by taxis and shuttles.
Transportation from Santo Domingo Airport to Santo Domingo City Center
Las Américas International Airport, also known as Santo Domingo Airport, is known as the second busiest airport in the Dominican Republic. Since there is no public transportation to reach Santo Domingo city center, transportation is mostly provided by private transfers and taxis.
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. Also, taxis at the airport only take (maximum) 3 passengers.
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.
If you do not want to deal with public transportation and taxis and want to go to the places to see in Santo Domingo, you can rent a car from the rent-a-car companies at the airport. Here you can find the offices of many well-known companies such as Hertz, Sixt and Avis.
Although there is no bus from Santo Domingo Airport to the city center, you can go to the city center by taking the buses that pass through the main road (Autopista las Americas) after a three-kilometer walk.
