i agree with AZB as far as safety, we had our car parked there for 2 weeks in may, nothing happened. we paid 1500 pesos or so.

as far as the new prices are concerned i think there may be no other option for people like us, that is from the north coast. it will be cheaper to drive the car to SD and leave it on a parking lot than have someone drive you to SD and later pick you up. i am talking the price of petrol for POP-SD-POP trip plus parking versus petrol for POP-SD-POP times 2.
gee, in POP it's like 5 pesos to park you car....

DV, if you stay for 2 weeks with the new prices, you will pay:

RD$ 420 first day + RD$ 300 additional days x 13 = RD$ 4320

With this price you're better off leaving your car in paid and secure parking in SD downtown and taking a cab to and from the airport

Yes, but this is the DR, not NYC. Over $10US a day is ridiculous.

Over $40US a day for parking! Incredible!

Per DR1 Daily news:

Quote:
Expensive parking at Las Americas

The new owners of Las Americas International Airport have hiked the price of parking at Santo Domingo's main airport. While leaving the car at the airport for a week used to cost RD$610, the rate is now RD$10,080. The new rate is equivalent to RD$1 per minute. This means that leaving the car overnight will cost RD$1,440.
The previous rate was RD$20 per hour in the short-term parking area and RD$30 per hour in the normal parking area, RD$20 for the first hour and RD$10 for additional hours in the long-term parking area. Parking at the airport was so popular that it was difficult to find a spot.
The new management's decision comes as good news for the airport taxi drivers. With the former rates it was less expensive to leave one's car at the parking lot than to take taxis to and from the airport. Now the taxi option is cheap compared to the hiked rates. A taxi charges around US$30 to drive into Santo Domingo.

Typical brain dead business mentality here.

When the prices go up like that, then they are planning to shut down or are going out of business. I have lost count the amount of times I have seen that happen here, especially with restaurants.

Not any more! Looks like these airport parking price hikes are going to apply to all Aerodom airports, including Puerto Plata
AERODOM DEFIENDE NUEVOS PRECIOS COBRARA POR PARQUEOS

I see Aerodom website isn't reflecting the changes yet, at least not for Puerto Plata:

Ok which is it.

One poster said it was RD420 the first day and RD300 for days after that.

Another poster said it was over RD1100 a day.
