Shared shuttle vs private transfer from SDQ
We do not sell shared shuttles. Here is the arithmetic behind that decision.
Updated: 2026-09-11
Short answer
A shared shuttle is a per-person seat on a van that waits for other flights and then makes several stops. Advertised at $15–$25 per person, it looks cheap until you count the wait and the detours.
What a shared shuttle really is
A shared shuttle is a per-person seat on a van that waits for other flights and then makes several stops. Advertised at $15–$25 per person, it looks cheap until you count the wait and the detours.
Two adults to Boca Chica on a shared van are already paying more than our private car — and arriving later.
The maths at SDQ prices
Private, per vehicle, 1–6 passengers: Boca Chica $25, Zona Colonial $35, Juan Dolio $45. A shared seat at $20 per person breaks even at two passengers on the short zones and loses badly at four.
On long-haul legs there is no shared product worth discussing: the wait alone can add two hours to a three-hour drive.
Our rule
One vehicle, one party, direct to your door. That is the only thing this desk dispatches.
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.
