Punta Cana
Taxi vs transfer Punta Cana airport for travelers picking airport ground transport
Taxi vs pre-booked transfer at Punta Cana Airport (PUJ) — straightforward math. Official airport taxi rates 2026: $40 to Bávaro, $50 to Cap Cana, $90 to Uvero Alto, $120 to La Romana. Pre-booked private transfer: $45 / $65 / $85 / $110 — within $5 of the taxi for Bávaro, cheaper for Uvero Alto and La Romana. What you get extra with the pre-booked: driver waits at the gate with your name, free child seat, flight tracking, no haggling, English, no 'card terminal broken' surprise. Taxi makes sense only if you walked out without a booking and want speed — fine but you'll pay USD cash and accept whatever van shows. Never accept rides from non-uniformed hawkers in the parking lot; the rate doubles and there's no insurance.
