You’ll land in Santo Domingo knowing your private taxi transfer is set—local driver meeting you at arrivals, comfy ride with AC and WiFi all the way to Sosua. There’s no haggling or stress; just easy pickup, help with luggage, and those small human touches that make travel feel less anonymous.

What’s the experience like?

The first thing I noticed was the driver’s sign — my name, spelled right (which never happens), waiting just outside arrivals at Santo Domingo Airport. The air hit me warm and thick, that Caribbean kind of sticky, but the car’s AC was already humming when we got there. Our driver, José, smiled and grabbed my overstuffed bag without a word about its size. I think he’s done this before.

I’d been nervous about the drive up to Sosua — it’s not exactly close (takes about 4 hours), and after a long flight I always worry about getting stuck in some rickety minibus or having to haggle for a cab. But honestly? This private taxi transfer from Santo Domingo Airport to Sosua felt more like being picked up by a distant cousin. José had cold water bottles ready and pointed out little things along the way — like the sugarcane fields and that one roadside stand selling fried plantains (I regret not stopping). He even put on some bachata radio when I asked what locals listen to. My Spanish is rough but we managed a few laughs anyway.

The road north isn’t exactly smooth in parts — you’ll feel a few bumps — but the seats were soft and there was enough space for all my stuff (and then some). WiFi worked fine so I could send photos home right away. At some point, rain started tapping on the windows, that quick tropical shower smell mixing with the faint cologne José wore. I remember thinking how weirdly peaceful it felt, watching palm trees blur past while knowing someone else had all the directions handled.

When we rolled into Sosua, he dropped me right at my rental villa gate and insisted on carrying everything up himself. It was late but he waited until I found my keys before heading out. That’s something I still think about — just feeling looked after when you’re far from home.
