Comparison vs taxi and shared shuttle

Airport taxi to Bávaro: $40-70 USD with no fixed rate, old vehicle, no child seats. Our SUV: $35 with everything included. Shared shuttle to Bávaro: $15-25/person — a family of 4 pays $60-100 and arrives 90 min later. For any 2+ group, private wins on price AND experience. More in our taxi vs private transfer guide.

Tips to save

1) Round-trip: save 10-15% booking both legs from the start. 2) Groups of 7-14: a private van is cheaper per person than two SUVs. 3) Bundle transfer + excursion (Saona, buggy, Hoyo Azul) for a combo rate. 4) Book 48 h ahead to lock the best vehicle availability. 5) Off-peak weekdays (Tue-Thu) usually have better vehicle availability.

Book with confidence

Every rate above is what we charge in 2026 — no surprises. If you find an equal or better price with equivalent service (newer vehicle, licensed driver, meet & greet, insurance), we'll match it. Book on our Punta Cana airport transfers page or message us on WhatsApp for groups and events.
