Transportation from City Center to Punta Cana Airport
Although expensive, taxis are the most used method to get to Punta Cana Airport from your hotel or city center. Most hotels have their own taxi rank or they can call a taxi for you. Since Punta Cana taxis work with fixed prices, you look at the price from the list according to where you get on and pay accordingly. You can pay in local currency or use dollars.
If you have purchased a tour package from your hotel, airport transfer is usually included in this tour and you will be taken to the airport with the other hotel customer who has a flight that day. If such an airport transfer is not included in your Eper tour, it is possible to purchase a private or shared transfer service to go to Punta Cana Airport.
You can avoid the risk of missing your flight if you book in advance from major tour sites such as Viator. Punta Cana Airport transfers are made by private and luxury vehicles or minibus-style shared vehicles, and the price varies.
To reach Punta Cana Airport by public transport, it is a good option to take the Dominican minibus, gua gua, from Veron. But these minibuses do not have luggage, so if you are traveling with hand luggage or a backpack, you can use this method. However, direct buses from Santo Domingo and Higuey to Punta Cana Airport also have a luggage.
Transportation from Sangster International Airport to Montego Bay City Center
Montego Bay, or officially Sangster International Airport, is the main airport of the city of Montego Bay, Jamaica. Many resorts in Jamaica mostly offer free transfers to their customers. Check this first. If your hotel does not provide you with a transfer service, there are many means of transportation to the city.
The fastest of these is always to take a taxi. You can find a taxi every day of the week at Sangster International Airport. When you come out of the incoming floor, you will see the stop of JUTA and JCAL, two companies authorized to work at the airport.
JCAL vehicles are the taxis we know with the first letter of the red plate P (meaning Passenger/Passenger). These taxis generally stop at the airport and in front of big hotels. It is useful to talk about the total amount you will pay before you start the journey.
Although JUTA vehicles are listed as taxis on the airport's official website, they are actually minibus-like vehicles and drop their passengers to their hotels in Montego Bay. You can recognize these vehicles by the JUTA lettering on their red plates. Since these minibuses take off when they are full, like their names, the waiting time can sometimes reach 45 minutes.
If you don't want to wait, you can get shuttle service by paying a little more and set off immediately. You can check how much you will pay according to your destination on the official website of the airport.
Apart from the vehicles mentioned above, an airport transfer that you can reserve online before starting your journey stands out as a very comfortable option. Considering that you will be flooded with official and pirate taxi drivers as soon as you exit the terminal building, it is very comforting to have a professional welcoming you by name.
Thus, you will be left at the door of your hotel without thinking about anything. If you cannot trust the companies you will find online, the tour operators listed on the airport's official website may be of use to you.
There is so much to see on this gorgeous Caribbean island. You can rent your car from global car rental giants such as Avis and Hertz, which have offices on the airport arrivals floor, and go directly to the city center. Thus, you will both complete your Montego Bay transfer and experience the comfort of visiting the island according to your own schedule and route.
