Arrivals-hall touts at Las Américas
Nobody official approaches you first. That single rule solves most of it.

Short answer
Someone friendly asks where you are staying, takes a bag, walks you outside, and hands you to a driver who names a price on the sidewalk. The price is always higher than the desk, and the tip expectation is not optional by then.

Your defence
Keep your bags. Do not say your hotel name to anyone who has not shown you a sign with your name on it. Walk the full length of the hall before deciding anything.
Why we send a written price
Because a price agreed on WhatsApp days earlier cannot be renegotiated in a corridor. That is most of what you are buying.
Frequently asked questions
How do I book a transfer from SDQ?
Send your flight number, date, hotel or address and number of passengers on WhatsApp. You get a written confirmation with the fixed price, and the driver details the day before travel.
Do I pay in advance?
No. You pay the driver at the end of the ride in US dollars, Dominican pesos or euros. There is no deposit and no card charge when you book.
Is the price per person or per vehicle?
Per vehicle, for 1–6 passengers, including tolls and taxes. Larger groups are quoted with additional vehicles at the same fixed zone rate.
How far in advance should I book?
A day or two is usually enough, and same-day requests often work. In high season, book a van three or four days ahead.
Is there a surcharge for night arrivals?
No. The price is the same at 03:00 as at midday, and we track your flight, so a delay does not change it either.
