Official Cibao Airport Taxi Recommendations


 
IHateTaxis.com has a mixed recommendation on the official Cibao Airport taxi service.

Taxis are very appealing to travelers who would rather enjoy the view than struggle with maps, unfamiliar driving procedures and the challenges of a Santiago car rental. Although taxis can be somewhat pricey, the opportunity to sit back and take in the beauty of the Dominican Republic is one that many vacationers find priceless.

Official Cibao Airport Taxi Rates & Fares

Cibao Airport taxi rates given here are in the local currency (DOP or Dominican Republic Peso). Use our currency converter or the cheat sheet to the left if you would like to convert to your currency. Note that Cibao Airport taxi rates given here are for official taxis and unofficial or pirate taxis (discussed below) may be different. Drivers will also accept USD and EUR.


  • Taxis are unmetered so you will need to negotiate a fare before your journey begins. Many popular destinations will be covered by a rate table; otherwise you will need to make arrangements with your driver.


    Prepare to spend DOP 45 as a starting fare, and anticipate a rate of DOP 5/kilometre (your driver will be the one to determine how far you have traveled at the end of your trip). An alternative is to offer your driver a rate of DOP 100 per hour, which can make it easier to estimate your fare.


    Caro publicos are generally less expensive than traditional taxis, averaging around DOP 10 per passenger. Drivers require exact change, so be sure to have a variety of cash denominations on hand.



 
Santiago Taxi Payment: Cash only
Drivers will also accept USD and EUR.
Santiago Taxi Tipping Recommendation: Tipping recommended, 10%



Official Cibao Airport Taxi Details

Taking a taxi from a Dominican airport is an experience as unique as the country itself. The vehicles may range from newer model vehicles complete with air-conditioning to large publicos, a type of bus-taxi hybrid.


Taxis are available outside the main passenger terminal.


Look for well-marked cars.




 Unofficial Cibao Airport Taxi Service or Hire Points

 

Caro publicos resemble regular taxis, but have specified posted routes like buses. Each car will fill to capacity and will pick up and drop off passengers at any point. You may tell the driver your stop when you get in, or simply point it out and give a yell when you near your destination.



 Cibao Airport Taxi Scams

When selecting a taxi, steer clear of the private cars you may find waiting outside airports, docks, and hotels. Instead, look for a well-marked car and then ask to see the driver's ID card. Do not accept a ride from an unlicensed operator.
