Local Tips

  • The Dominican Republic's no-Uber rule means you MUST pre-arrange your transfer.
  • Pre-booked resort transfer (included with most all-inclusives) is the standard — confirm at your booking before declining.
  • NO Uber or rideshare apps operate at PUJ — authorized taxi or pre-arranged transfer only.
  • Authorized taxi has fixed zone fares — confirm price BEFORE entering the cab to avoid surprises.
  • Apolo Taxi and Aero Taxi are the regulated airport brands at PUJ — refuse curbside touts.
