I didn't want mi amiga to drive at night so I took an Uber to STI which I've never done before. The receipt shows a 320 peso "airport surcharge"! If you know STI you know it's a 30 second walk from the street to the terminal. I've walked a lot further for a lot less in my day. Does anyone know if it's the same for pick ups?

On an unrelated note, the driver, who looked to be about 15 years old, said I spoke Spanish with an Italian accent so he played Sinatra on his radio for me. He was tipped handsomely. That boy is going places!

You do realize Uber applied that surcharge on behalf of the airport? Just want to make sure you are complaining about the right "these people"

My apologies .....that comment was dripping with Sarcasm
When I leave the airport ...get me to my destination as comfortably and quickly as possible .
I always use the Yellow taxi service at Las Americas and have no complaints
