I'm sure Jaime is fine, but there's a ton of taxi drivers with minivans, and the whole thing should cost you about 30 bux each way. Sosua's only about 10-15 minutes from the airport. That breaks down to a little less than 4 bux per person.

Have fun,

I believe the fare is $25 by cab. But note the fare is for 4 persons and luggage, so you will need two cabs for your party.

That is the reasons for what I’ve recommend Jaime, as he usually has large vehicles making turns at POP, he can arrange a Toyota coaster and the rate will be no more than US. 45. 00

Jamie sounds like the better deal, but I don't know Jamie. Taxi prices are posted in the airport as soon as you come out of customs.

got off the plane and actually had no reservations or info where what etc. guy comes up to me and asks if i need a cab. start talking a little. find out the fares sosua 10$ and pop 15$ i took the 10$ cab...and the guy took me to 2 different local hotels.. ended up staying up the hill in a now closed hotel was really nice. good mix of people...reasonable$$

I've used jamie in the past and he is very reliable. He answers phone and email messages promptly and for 8 people with luggage the taxi mafia (oops I mean union) have their over charges already set.

Donmobay, you were very very lucky to get a taxi out of pop for $10/350RD. The cheapest I ever got was RD$900. please send me a pm of the taxi driver number who gives rides out of POP for 10 bucks, thanks.

the posted fare at the airport was $20 two years ago so you got a deal. 4 years ago was $15. Right now I don't know the exact price because i rent a car, or my friend picks me up. But we all know its not going down.

The posed rate to Sosua in January was $25US like Bob said.
