Private transfer Santo Domingo to Punta Cana: Direct minivan

Sit back for two and a half hours while the minivan handles the highway to Punta Cana

A private transfer in an air-conditioned minivan from Santo Domingo to Punta Cana or the Bavaro area for up to six passengers, traveling straight to your destination without intermediate stops. The journey takes approximately two and a half hours by highway. Pickup is included. Transfers to Uvero Alto carry an additional $40 per vehicle.

The experience

The minivan picks you up in Santo Domingo and heads straight to your hotel or resort in Punta Cana or Bavaro without dropping off other passengers along the way. You travel with up to five other people in your party, all heading to the same destination. The air conditioning runs the entire route, and the professional driver provides commentary during the ride.

The highway journey takes roughly two and a half hours depending on traffic. Once you arrive, the minivan deposits you directly at your final destination rather than at a central point, so you skip the usual shuttle-stop routine. Infants can travel on an adult's lap, and specialized infant seats are available upon request (car seats have an extra cost and must be arranged when you book).

What’s included

• Private air-conditioned minivan for up to six passengers.
• hotel or resort pickup in Santo Domingo.
