you should leave santo domingo not later than 5PM to make sure you still get a bus from higuey to Punta Cana, but make sure you know where to spend the night in punta cana, if you drive from higuey to the route for the punta cana airport you will not be in the area named punta cana-bavaro where the hotels are, that's a second route and around 30 minutes drive from the airport. sunset is early, you will arrive at night, around the airport you will not find a place to spend the night, if you have a late plane to catch there's no problem on that, the airport facilities are open, just to explain you that the airport is not in the middle of the hotel/motel-area, the only transportation by night would be by Taxi, they aren't cheap in the punta cana area.
take care
