Can anyone tell me how much it will cost to take a taxi from the Puerto Plata Airport to the Casa Marina, in Sousa.
Thank you for your help.

Each taxi route (union) sets their own rates. Rate you were quoted was for Sosua taxi to take you to the airport. Probably less than airport taxis posted rate to take you the other direction.Nikki Simon said:That's strange about the price going up as I only called them yesterday and $20 US was the price quoted!! I did not call the airport but the taxi rank in central Sosua.
I understand that, but you said you were talking to the taxi company in Sosua, not the taxi at the airport. Two different companies with two different rate schedules. We have the same thing here in Puerto Plata, The airport taxi charges $35 to downtown POP while the Puerto Plata Taxi charges $25 to the airport. So unless you can get a Sosua taxi to meet you at the airport (he'll have to do that undercover to avoid a union fight), you'll get an Airport taxi to take you to Sosua, at the airport posted rates. No argument intended, only the reason why.Nikki Simon said:Nope, definately from the airport to Sosua. Anyway, life's too short to argue.....

He's reliable, speaks English and is used regularly by members of this board. Ask for a price quote.
JJ works out of Santiago, and although his rates from POP/Sosua to Santiago are very reasonable, unless he is in the area, I'm sure he will charge you more than $20US to take you from Puerto Plata Airport to the Casa Marina, in Sousa.bucknell_d@yahoo.com said:Thank you for the information. I have sent off an email to get a price quote. This is very helpful.
And gasoline wasn't almost $4 a gallon a couple of years ago.Me_again said:Interesting. A couple of years ago we got Airport to Sosua for $15USD -- at 3 in the morning too -- and back to the Airport for 500 RD. Things have gone up. Rocky's free pick up becomes a definite plus.
