Transportation from the City Center to Providenciales Airport
Selected as the best beach destination in the world in 2011 with its turquoise sea and tropical weather, Providenciales Island is a part of the Caicos Islands and the main international airport of the Turks and Caicos Islands is located here. The island's favorite resort area, Grace Bay, is 11 km from Providenciales Airport and since there is no public transportation on the island, it is necessary to reach the airport by taxi or private vehicle.
You can get to Providenciales Airport from Grace Bay in 10-15 minutes by calling a taxi to your hotel or location. Although taxi fares are fixed in Turks and Caicos Islands, be sure to confirm the fare beforehand because taxi drivers can request these fees by multiplying them by the number of people.
If you have rented a car to visit Providenciales Island, it is very easy to go to the airport with your own car. On the island, traffic flows from the left like Britain, but the traffic rules do not work. In particular, it is necessary to pay attention to other vehicles that suddenly stop on the road and drop passengers.
You can get to Providenciales Airport via the Leeward Highway. However, since the car rental companies usually deliver the car a little outside the airport, it is better to go early. After the delivery process is completed, the companies leave the passengers to the airport with a shuttle.
Apart from taxi and car rental options, you can also go to Providenciales Airport from Grace Bay by private transfer. Some hotels may include this service in their fees. If it is not included in your tour package, arranging a private transfer from a tour company such as Fast Track Transport is a very comfortable transportation method.
For this type of reservation, please specify your flight number and time so that you will be guaranteed to arrive at the airport on time. These companies greet you with your name at the airport and deliver you to your destination quickly.
Transportation from Punta Cana Airport to the City Center
Although Punta Cana Airport is not the main airport of the Dominican Republic, it has a very high flight traffic. Airport transfer is usually included in this package, as most tourists arriving at the airport in the eastern part of the island, in the Punta Cana region, have purchased a package from a resort.
Therefore, after exiting the Punta Cana Airport arrivals terminal and passing the customs, you can find the guide bearing the name of your hotel on the right. He or she will direct you to the bus you need to take.
If Punta Cana Airport Transfer is not included in your hotel reservation, private or shared transfer service, taxi and public transportation options are available. Airport transfers are the most preferred method.
Some of the reliable companies for Punta Cana Airport transfers are Amstar DMC, Best Day, Discovery Mundo and HyperDestination. It is most logical to make a reservation in advance by contacting the companies directly or by looking at tour sites such as Viator. You can also use Viator for shared transfer companies or make reservations from companies such as Coming 2 and Gray Line.
One of the most common ways to get from Punta Cana Airport to the city center is by taxi. You can see fixed-price airport taxis as soon as they clear customs. The price list is available from almost every taxi driver and all taxis operate at these prices. However, it is useful to talk about the place and price from the beginning.
Uber is also used in Punta Cana, but you may be prevented from using Uber by other taxi drivers, especially at the airport. Either they prevent Uber drivers from entering the airport, or taxi drivers can accept your request from the app as if it were Uber and then demand more money.
As a more economical option, if you want to reach the city center by public transportation from Punta Cana Airport, it is possible to use the minibuses called gua gua, but if you have hand luggage or a backpack, you should prefer these vehicles as they usually do not have luggage. When you leave the terminal and reach the main street, you can get on the minibus from the stop near the hub.
These vehicles go to Veron or Higuey and pass about every 15 minutes, but the flights stop at 6:00 pm. From Veron, you can find another gua gua to Higuey or take the bus to Macao and Uvero Alto. To embark on an adventure, the option to take a motor taxi from Veron is one-to-one.
