FAQ
Common questions
How much is a private transfer PUJ to Bávaro?+
USD 45 one-way, USD 80 round-trip, in a Suburban for 1–6 pax. Driver meets you with a name sign, 25–30 min direct to any Bávaro resort, child seats free, no waiting for other passengers.
How much PUJ to Cap Cana?+
USD 35 one-way (8–12 km, 15 min). The closest zone to the airport. Same Suburban service, 1–6 pax.
Private vs shared — what's the time difference?+
Private: 25–30 min PUJ to Bávaro, 15 min to Cap Cana. Shared: 90–120 min to Bávaro (45 min waiting + 3–5 other hotel stops) — and your driver leaves whenever the van is full, not when you exit customs.
Do I need a transfer if my package says 'transfer included'?+
Check what type — most all-inclusive packages bundle a shared van, which is fine if you don't mind 60–90 extra minutes after a flight. Private upgrade is USD 45 and most people who try it once never go back to shared.
Can I add fast-track immigration?+
Yes — USD 40/p as add-on, expedites you through passport control (saves 30–60 min on peak winter days). Worth it on the busiest arrival windows (12 pm–4 pm and 9 pm–11 pm Sat/Sun).
What about late-night arrivals?+
We operate 24/7 at the same price — no surcharge after midnight. The driver tracks your flight, so a delay doesn't cost you anything. If your flight cancels overnight, free rebook.
Are child seats free?+
Yes — booster, forward-facing, and infant seats all free on request, just notify us 24 h in advance with the child's age and weight. Dominican law requires kids under 12 in a proper restraint.
Best round-trip price to save?+
Lock in PUJ↔Bávaro round-trip at USD 80 (USD 90 to Uvero Alto round-trip, USD 65 to Cap Cana). 10% saving over two one-ways, and we hold the return-flight time and meet you at your hotel lobby 3 h before departure.
