If I recall, the posted rate is now $30, but can be done for $25 with a little negotiation!

I think it was said before but, to recall, a suggestion...

If you do not travel too heavy and your maletas have wheels, walk down to carretera (about 300 meters I guess) and many cars will happily bring you to Sosua for $300 RD.

Same thing should be done in Punta Cana.

It is very pity that public transportation is banned from entering airport facilities in this country!

Two weeks ago when I arrived at POP the posted rate for Sosua was changed to $25, when I questioned the taxi driver he agreed to $20. In the past when it was $20 they would usually agree to 500 pesos ($15). At least one other destination was changed but did not pay attention.

I use a local taxi. William Guzman with Atlantic Taxi. His mobile number is 809-429-2110. His rates are reasonable.

His name is actually Wilson Guzman. He speaks good English and is a very personable person. His rates are always reasonable and it will depend on where he is taking you. My wife and I have used him exclusively for the last 3years to travel around and he always picks us up and delivers us to the airport.

Today he took my wife to the airport from Cabarete, $35.00, he carried her bags and made sure she got through the check in without any problems. We booked him ahead of time and he was there early.

He has also acted as a very good interpreter for us and has been very helpful when these "Gringos" go shopping.

And FYI, he wants to be a lawyer and so he is also a student in law school and his grades are excellent but he needs lots of taxi rides to help pay for his classes and books, so I highly recommend him to anyone and he deserves all the tips he gets.

If you call him, tell him Andres and Patricia recommended him.

Andy
