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 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.
