Samana Airport to Sosua / Puerto plata in the evening??
Its about 2 1/2 hour drive.... you should definitely make arrangements in advance.
Either have a taxi or a driver standing by.
I can't even think of a nearby hotel where you could get a room until morning.
The good news is that you will clear customs/immigration very quickly.
AZS is very efficient that way.
Good luck.

Hi:
If you are planning on renting a car while you are in the DR than I would make arrangements to pick it up at the airport in El Catey. There is a rental car company in Cabarate called Universal car rental. There number is 809-223-3244. They will meet you at the airport. You probably will have to bring the driver back and drop him in Cabarate on the way through to Sosua. It is a straight shot from the airport to Sosua. You will be on Rt. 5 going west all the way. Even after dark the drive should not be a problem. The road has been resurfaced and is very good. After you leave the airport with the car you can get gas at Isla Gas which is about 4Km up the road on your left just past the entrance to the new highway which runs south to Santo Domingo. Before you leave the airport, make sure you get pesos at the airport, either from an ATM or Exchange Kiosk. You will need this for gas, which is about $5.75 a gal. USD. You will need to put about $1500 pesos worth into your car and most gas stations in this area do not take credit cards. If you opt to take a taxi from the airport to Sosua it will probably cost you $175-200USD. Good luck.

I don't think either of prices is out of line.
Search the taxi rates from POP to LT..... same sort of trip, the other way.

I did the reverse lookup... POP to Nagua is $120-130 from last year's rates
AZS is a bit further...
Its almost 2 1/2 hours each way..... 5 hours plus waiting time...and a tank of gas.
If I had a driver - in my own car - I would be paying at least $50 ... + my gas of at least $50
I would be out $100.... + wear and tear on my car

Good luck, Ray.......... safe trip

HI:
It may be one way for you but it is round trip for him. You may be able to negociate a better rate if you are going to use the same guy for the return trip but quite honestly that is the going rate. For the same price you can rent a car for the week. Your choice.
