Default Taxi from Punta Cana to Cabarete

Hi guys,

Could anyone tell me how much I would pay in a taxi from Punta Cana Airport to Cabarete please??

I know POP is closer but have found a REALLY good deal on the internet and need to weigh up the costs.....

Many thanks x x

Best guess is $300 US. (7 to 10 hours, depending on driver and traffic)
Cheaper to fly.
There's a flight from PUJ into POP airport, which is 20 minutes and a $25 taxi ride from Cabarete, for $150 or less.

There are other option, of course.
Bus to Santo Domingo, then taxi to Metro or Caribe Tour station, the bus to Puerto Plata or Sosúa, then taxi to your hotel.

Cost: Maybe $55?

Rocky, thanks a million for the link......I have checked the landing time for my flight and unfortunately I would land at 7.30pm and the daily flight to POP is at 6.30pm. But the link may come in handy for future flights x x x

Hillbilly.....that is a great alternative, unfortunately I will be travelling with my friend and her 6 week old baby so would not be practical on this occasion but will keep in mind for future flights x x x

So the question becomes, is it worth 300 bucks apiece, and 2 days of your vacation, wasted traveling?

Evidently Marco...
Not sure why folks don't sit down and look at map and ask the domestic travel questions first prior to booking "that really cheap airfare that I just couldn't turn down". I am sure there will be a future "Can I catch a taxi to PC from POP airport? I got this really good deal to fly into POP....and Oh by the way I am staying 5 days"......

Probably worse than that. The rate in the opposite direction posted at POP airport to Punta Cana is $375.00
