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 Providenciales Airport to City Center
Providenciales, or Provo as the locals call it, is a 98 square kilometer British island located northwest of the Caicos Islands. Selected as the best holiday destination in the world by Tripadvisor in 2011, Providenciales is the most populated among Turks and Caicos Islands and the main airport of the entire region, Providenciales International Airport is located here.
Although the airport is located in the city center, most tourists come to the resorts located in the Grace Bay area, 11 km from the island.
There is no option other than a taxi or private car to get to the city center or Grace Bay from Providenciales Airport. Taxis stop just outside the airport's luggage pickup point and operate at a flat rate.
Although there is a list of tariffs, taxi drivers may ask for higher fares or multiply the fare by the number of people, so be sure to confirm the fare in advance. Since some taxis in Turks and Caicos Islands are in the form of minibuses, it is possible to share them with passengers going in the same direction. In this case, it may be necessary to wait 10-15 minutes to leave the airport.
Renting a car from the airport is also a logical option, as there is no public transport on the island. Thus, you can easily reach Grace Bay or the city center from Providenciales Airport, and you can also travel around the island comfortably. However, it should be taken into account that the traffic on the island operates from the left and the traffic rules are not taken into account.
To get to Grace Bay from Providenciales Airport, follow the Leeward Highway to the hub at the end, then take Allegro Road to the center of Grace Bay.
In addition, some hotels and rental villas on the island provide private transfer services from the airport.
The private transfer driver you will arrange from your hotel or a tour company will meet you just outside the arrivals terminal, holding your name and direct you to your vehicle without waiting. If you are a group of four people or more, the private transfer fee is often more affordable than a taxi. Fast Track Transport is one of the reliable companies that provide this service.
