Dulce suggests a good option. One of the best things that I did when I first visited the DR was to find a taxi driver that I negotiated a good price with and let him know that I would use him to take me around the city and when I returned to the airport at the end of my visit. The expectation of future employment is a good negotiating tool and I have developed good relationships with some of them over several years and count on them to pick me up at the airport, transport me to and pick me up from some of the sites that aren't within walking distance, and, in some cases, to negotiate sales at Dominican, as opposed to Gringo, prices from merchants.
