la Romana to North Coast transpo costs?
Not sure, but I think you need more posts before you can do PM's ?
maybe a mod will chime in..
From the LRM airport or from the actual town?
If the traveler is on a budget and doesn't have a lot of luggage s/he could probably do MOST of the trip through decent bus service (say LR-SD, taxi for in-city transfer, SD-NC) and save a lot of money.
Uber has recently lowered its rates and changed the fare structure for long trips.
Using their own examples, LR-SD and SD-Santiago would cost about RD$4,000 (~90 USD) EACH. I suppose if you replace SD-Santiago with SD-NC the total fare would be comparable. So, you can assume Uber would cost you ~200 USD (probably a bit less).
However, it is unclear that you can be picked up by Uber in LR (although for a long trip, who knows)
Actual costs for a taxi (return trip for him about 4.5 hours each way) will be:
Gas $50 to $75 depending on his vehicle (660km round trip shortest route up the Samana highway)
Tolls $50
His cost for the day ????
His vehicle cost for the day ????
Under $200 would be exceptional.
btw $350 is the rate to Puerto Plata from La Romana airport for 1 to 5 people as per link below

Maybe also two local taxi rides, at the beginning and end of the route, for door to door service. But still, far less than a taxi ride for the whole trip.
