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 San Juan International Airport to San Juan City Center
San Juan Airport, officially known as Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport (SJU), is among the busiest airports in the Caribbean.
When you land at the airport, you can pay at the "Taxi Turistico" counters on the arrivals floor and travel to the main places of the city at fixed prices. Taxis pick up passengers arriving at Terminal A from the luggage compartment of terminal A, and passengers arriving at terminal B and C from the luggage compartment of terminal B. The journey to the city center, which is approximately 7 km away, takes about 15 minutes.
For a more economical journey, you can also use the municipal buses passing through the airport. Buses depart from terminals A, D and E on the arrivals floor of the airport. Among these, buses numbered T5 and D53 go to downtown San Juan, including San Juan's historic city centre.
You can use UBER to reach the city from the airport. More than one area has been allocated for UBER vehicles to load and unload at the airport. You can choose the one closest to you on the app and meet your driver there.
Car rental options at San Juan Airport are also quite diverse. You can rent a car directly before you start your journey, either online or by going to their office after you get off. Car rental offices are mostly on the first floor of the parking building opposite the terminal.
Since San Juan is a very important tourist destination, it is very easy to find an airport transfer online that will meet you and drop you off at your hotel.
