Always keep in mind the following when calling a taxi service, a) ask for a "confortable" vehicle, otherwise you may get a wreck with a cracked windshield and no air-conditioning; and b) ask for rate confirmation.

Larry - why don't you call the taxi company in POP that Carina provided the number to? They can help with at least three of the rates you're looking for.

Stay well,

Ok, a friend of mine took a taxi from POP to Sosua a few weeks ago, he paid RD 400 for a one way trip. Not sure what the company was that he used.

btw, why did you ask for names and numbers of companies if you're not going to call them? ;)

Stay well,
Amy

I think Larry wanted the rates first and then he asked for the phone numbers to set up pick ups or as a last resort to get rate info.

Happy Motoring,

Larry, Just make a note that the rate POP to Playa Dorada is RD $150, you can't go the other direction. Playa Dorada taxi union doesn't allow pickups by other taxis inside playa dorada.

HOWMAR, it goes for ALL rates, as the taxi company is located in POP.

Yes I know, Carina. Thanks for the information :)

Anyone else that has taken any recent taxi trips ANYWHERE in the country or who has phone numbers to any local taxi companies in Santiago, Sosua, Boca Chica, Cabarete, etc. please relay the info.

Thanks,

Carina,
What I am saying is if you call Techni Taxi and ask to be picked up inside Playa Dorada at one of the hotels, they will tell you that they are not permitted to pickup inside Playa Dorada, that you must use a Playa Dorada Taxi. Unless of course they remove their roof sign and do an unmarked pickup. I have seen altercations when a non-Playa Dorada union taxi tried to pickup within Playa Dorada.
The difference being that if I take a Techni Taxi to Sosua, I can tell him I want to return in X hours, and he can return and pick me up.

I agree HOWMAR, but the price might not be the same if you call and need a pickup from Sosua. That´s what I meant, nor do they include waiting time etc.
Just plain rates with start from Puerto Plata and one way.


I just clearified so Larry does not put up the rates somewhere as
Puerto Plata - Santiago or vv.
