Rates in Perspective
Putting things in perspective.
Yes, Siutratural has a monopoly at the airport and yes they charge tourist prices. Why? They have the monopoly, tourists have the money, the govt. sees nothing out of order.
Beron taxi is a cheaper option, downside is you have to arrange for them to meet you at the airport and you wait and you can expect Siutratural to hassel them as happened to Bartolomeo67.
Rates in perspective: ( A unscientific PJT survey )
Siutratural rate PUJ to Plaza Bavaro US $22 at 24 km = $.91/km.
Unpublished rate Halifax AP YHZ to center Halifax US $34 at 35 km = $ .97/km
Published rate *Boston BOS to Salem US $50 at 23 km = $ 2.17/km
*Boston taxi's have the monopoly to pool at the airport. Outside Boston origin taxi services are by call for pick-up only.

PJT
