Private Transfer Santiago to Puerto Plata: Direct Airport Route

Skip the taxi line and ride in a private car to Puerto Plata

A private transfer takes you from Santiago airport (STI) to Puerto Plata in a dedicated, air-conditioned vehicle with a driver who meets you at customs. The journey runs about 90 minutes across the route between the two cities. WiFi and bottled water come on board, and the driver speaks English or Spanish.

The experience

You ride in a modern, air-conditioned vehicle built for comfort on the Santiago-to-Puerto Plata route. The trip takes roughly 90 minutes, and you can settle in knowing the route and timing are set.

WiFi on board means you can message your hotel or sort plans during the drive. Bottled water is included, and the vehicle is wheelchair accessible if you need that accommodation. Infants and small children can travel in a pram, stroller or specialized infant seat, depending on what you bring or request at booking.
