Airport Transportation in Punta Cana

Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Punta Cana International Airport to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.

After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.

Our airport transportation in Punta Cana picks you up at Punta Cana International (PUJ) and takes you to the all-inclusive resorts of Bávaro, Cap Cana, Cabeza de Toro and Uvero Alto, or west along the coast to Bayahibe, La Romana and Santo Domingo.

Punta Cana Airport Transfers

Our Punta Cana airport transfers start just outside the arrivals exit of Terminal A or Terminal B, where your driver waits with a sign showing your name. The two terminals have separate exits, so give us your flight and terminal when you book, and your driver follows your flight if it lands early or late.

Choose the vehicle that fits your party and luggage, from a private sedan or SUV to a group van, and the price per vehicle is fixed before you fly. Book your Punta Cana airport transfer one way or round trip, door to door to your all-inclusive resort, your villa in Cap Cana or your condo in Bávaro.

Punta Cana Airport Shuttle

Our Punta Cana airport shuttle is a private van reserved for your party only, leaving the moment you are through arrivals with room for suitcases, golf bags and dive gear. It goes straight to your resort or villa and suits families, destination-wedding guests and groups of friends heading to Bávaro, Cap Cana or Uvero Alto.

Landing at Punta Cana Airport

Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ) is on the eastern tip of the Dominican Republic, in La Altagracia province, just inland from the coast. Commercial flights use two terminals, A and B, about 100 meters apart and linked by a walkway, and each has its own arrivals exit. Terminal B is the newer one, with automated border control; Terminal A has been renovated in phases since 2024.

You clear Dominican immigration in your arrival terminal, then collect your bags and pass customs. Lines at immigration can be long when several flights land together, especially in Terminal A. Exchange desks and ATMs are inside both terminals.

The Dominican Republic uses Atlantic Standard Time (UTC-4) all year, with no daylight saving time, so Punta Cana matches US Eastern time in summer and is one hour ahead of it in winter.

Entry requirements and local notes

Dominican e-Ticket. Every traveler entering or leaving the Dominican Republic by air needs the free e-Ticket from eticket.migracion.gob.do, completed before airline check-in. One form covers up to seven travelers and generates a QR code to show at immigration. Visa rules depend on your nationality.

Check your terminal. Airline terminal assignments have shifted during the Terminal A renovation. Confirm your arrival and departure terminal with your airline and give it when you book, since the two terminals have separate arrivals exits.

Decline the touts. Many drivers approach arriving passengers outside the terminals. Go only with the driver named in your confirmation.

Resort and gated-community access. Cap Cana and many villa communities sit behind security gates. Give the resort name or full villa address, plus any gate access details, when you book.

Punta Cana Airport Transportation FAQs

Where will my driver meet me at Punta Cana Airport?

Your driver waits just outside the arrivals exit of your terminal, holding a sign with your name. Terminals A and B have separate exits about 100 meters apart, so tell us which terminal your flight uses.

Which terminal will I arrive at in Punta Cana?

It depends on your airline, and assignments have changed during the Terminal A renovation. Many Canadian, European and Latin American flights use Terminal A, while JetBlue, Frontier, Aeroméxico, LATAM and Sky Airline have used Terminal B. Confirm with your airline before you travel.

How far is Punta Cana Airport from Bávaro?

Bávaro, the largest resort area near the airport, is about 15 to 30 minutes away depending on which end of the beach your hotel is on. Punta Cana Village is closer, about 10 to 15 minutes.

Can you take me from Punta Cana Airport to Cap Cana?

Yes. Cap Cana is around 15 to 25 minutes from the airport. Give your resort name or villa address and any gate details when you book, and your driver takes you through security to the door.

Can you take me from Punta Cana Airport to Uvero Alto?

Yes. Uvero Alto is one of the farthest resort areas from PUJ, roughly 40 to 60 minutes north past Bávaro and Macao, so a private transfer straight to your resort saves the stops a shared shuttle makes.

Can you take me from Punta Cana Airport to La Romana or Bayahibe?

Yes. La Romana is about 1 hour 15 minutes west of the airport, and Bayahibe roughly 50 minutes to 1 hour 15 minutes, both along the Autovía del Este. Enter your hotel in the booking card to see the vehicles for the route.

Can you take me from Punta Cana Airport to Santo Domingo?

Yes. Santo Domingo is about 200 km west of the Punta Cana area along the Autovía del Este. A private vehicle takes you and your luggage straight to your hotel or address in the capital.

Can you pick me up at a villa or condo instead of a resort?

Yes. We go to villas, condos and vacation rentals as well as all-inclusive resorts. Give the full address, the community name and any gate access details when you book.

Do I need the e-Ticket to enter the Dominican Republic?

Yes. Every traveler entering or leaving the Dominican Republic by air needs the free e-Ticket from eticket.migracion.gob.do, completed before airline check-in. Keep its QR code on your phone or printed for immigration.

Should I accept a ride from drivers offering transport at the terminal?

No. Many drivers approach arriving passengers at Punta Cana Airport. With a pre-booked transfer you go only with the driver named in your confirmation, who waits for you with your name on a sign.

Is a private transfer different from my resort's shuttle?

Yes. Resort and tour-operator shuttles are often shared and can stop at several hotels on the way. Our private transfer carries only your party and goes straight to your resort or villa.

What happens if my flight to Punta Cana is delayed or canceled?

We follow the flight on your reservation, so your driver adjusts to an early or late landing. If your flight number, date or airline changes, or the flight is canceled, tell customer service so your pickup can be moved.

Can I book a ride back to Punta Cana Airport?

Yes. Book a round trip or a one-way departure from your resort or villa to PUJ, and give your departure terminal. The pickup time allows for the drive and international check-in.

Is Airport Transportation the same as Punta Cana International Airport?

No. Airport Transportation is a private transfer service that takes travelers to and from the airport; we are not the airport or its operator, Grupo Puntacana. For terminal, airline and arrival details, see our Punta Cana International Airport page.
