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.

You can take a taxi you will see as soon as you leave the terminal and go to Phillipsburg city center, which is 11 km away, or you can make a reservation via the official website. If you get on without a reservation, these taxis do not have a meter and the fares are fixed according to your destination. It is also possible to pay by credit card or in Euros and Dollars.
There are many car rental companies at Saint Maarten International Airport. You can rent a car from the airport either in advance or after entering the country. But the roads on the island are narrow and generally in poor condition. Sometimes traffic can get stuck and it is necessary to pay attention to the many dangerous driving engines. By the way, although there is no border between the Dutch and French regions on the island, it is technically forbidden to cross between the two regions by vehicle.
One of the easiest ways to get to the city center from Saint Maarten Airport is to purchase a shared shuttle service. Reservations can be made on the Viator website at an affordable price. Likewise, private airport transfers can be booked instead of shared vehicles.
