I know this question has probably been asked and answered many times, but I thought it merits a revisit now that DR peso is worth only half of its value a year ago.
What would be the ballpark figure in DR$ for a taxi ride from central Santo Domingo (say, Bella Vista) to SDQ airport ? What would be some recommendable taxi companies ?
Also, from the SDQ back to Santo Doming, does one have to suffer the inflated rates quoted by the taxi mafias outside the door or can one arrange for a pre-arranged pick up, even if 3 weeks ahead ?
(I've heard that these unionized taxi drivers often threaten other taxists from pick up customers from the airport).
Thanks in advance for any helpful feedback !
