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 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.
