Transportation from Santo Domingo City Center to Santo Domingo Airport
There is no public transportation from Santo Domingo City Center to the airport. Transfer options include taxi, private transfer and Uber.
There are plenty of taxis in the city, and if you're not visiting Santo Domingo in high season, you won't have any trouble finding a taxi. The city center is located 30 km from Las Américas International Airport and the journey takes 45 minutes under normal traffic conditions.
Before you start your journey, it is useful to confirm your destination and the average price. Considering that most taxi drivers don't speak a foreign language, Uber seems like a much better option. Thus, when the journey is over, you know how much you will pay, and you can make your journey with peace of mind.
As another option, you can book a private transfer from the trusted websites of well-known global companies, and have you picked up from your hotel and dropped off at the airport.
If you are looking for an economical option, like some travelers, you can reach the airport after about an hour's journey by Boca Chica bus from the city center, get off at the Santo Domingo Airport junction and walk for about three kilometers.
Transportation from Port Au Prince Airport to the City Center
Toussaint Louverture International Airport, also known locally as Port Au Prince Airport (PAP), is known as the busiest airport in Haiti.
As the capital and most populous city of Haiti, Port-au-Prince is also the country's gateway to the world. Besides being a tropical holiday destination, it is known as a historically important location because it is an overseas French colony.
The country suffered a heavy blow as a result of an unfortunate earthquake in 2010, and then tensions increased in the country as of the second half of 2022, as it suffered the shock of the pandemic.
Therefore, you do not have many options to reach the city center from the airport. The most logical option is to arrange a reliable transfer for you from the hotel where you will stay. Thus, after you get off your plane and go through passport control, it's just a matter of finding your driver who holds your name. It takes an average of 15 minutes to go to the city center, which is 5 km away, due to the poor infrastructure.
Another option is to take a tour from a tour operator that you believe is reliable by reading reviews on global websites like Viator. Thus, the tour bus picks you up from the airport, tours you all day and then drops you off at your hotel. There is a one-day tour and airport transfer in between. So you're killing two birds with one turn.
Although there are car rental services of companies such as Avis and Budget at the airport, a car with a driver is recommended instead of renting a car, since the infrastructure and road condition of the country is very bad. If you still want to rent a car, you should take a short walk to the car rental offices in the car park inside the terminal.
If you are going for a job, the most logical option may be to ask a coworker to pick you up.
