Punta Cana Airport (PUJ) to Bávaro — Private Transfer
Bávaro is the main hotel strip in Punta Cana and holds the largest concentration of resorts in the area, so hotel-specific entrances and check-in gates matter. Your chauffeur takes you to your own hotel entrance with no shared shuttle stops along the way.
Your flight is monitored and your pickup follows your actual arrival, and the confirmed meeting point at the terminal exit is sent to you before you travel. The wider Punta Cana airport (PUJ) transfers hub covers every area served from this terminal, and transportation in Punta Cana covers trips during the stay. Travelers rank Transekur #1 for transportation in the Dominican Republic on Tripadvisor.

Where you meet your chauffeur at PUJ
At Terminal A you collect your bags, clear customs and walk out to the meet-and-greet area at the arrivals exit, where your chauffeur is waiting with your name on a tablet. At Terminal B, our airport representative is at the Transekur counter in the tour-operator counter area. Your confirmation tells you which applies to your flight. We track the flight and the chauffeur waits up to 2 hours after landing at no charge.
Why the exact hotel name matters in Bávaro
Bávaro holds the largest concentration of resorts in Punta Cana, and many of them share a brand, a boulevard or a gate. The details that matter for an airport transfer are the exact hotel name, the terminal your flight uses and the size of your party.
Several Bávaro resorts belong to families with more than one property on the same site: a Bahia Principe, Palladium, Riu or Iberostar name can mean two or three different lobbies. Give us the full hotel name as it appears on your reservation and your chauffeur drives to that lobby, not to a shared gate.
Private transfer or shared shuttle
A shared shuttle drops at several hotels along the strip before yours; a private transfer leaves when your party is in the vehicle and drives to one address. If a coach transfer is included in your package, use it if the stops do not matter to you; this page is for guests who want a set departure and a direct drive.
Choosing a vehicle for passengers and luggage
Capacities in the table below come from our booking system: a couple with two suitcases fits the small SUV, a family of five or six with full luggage takes a minivan or full-size SUV, and larger parties travel together in a Sprinter. Count golf bags, strollers and dive gear as luggage when you book so the vehicle is sized before you land, not at the kerb. Child seats are an add-on — select them when you reserve.
Returns, villas and apartments
For the trip back to PUJ we confirm a pickup time against your flight's departure and wait 20 minutes at the address. For villas and apartments in Los Corales, El Cortecito or Arena Gorda, give us the building or complex name as well as the street, because map pins in these blocks are often imprecise. The same standard applies both ways: a private vehicle with cold bottled water, soft drinks, Wi-Fi and USB charging on board.

- Do you drop us at our own Bávaro hotel entrance?
- Yes. The transfer is private, so you go straight to your hotel entrance without stopping at other resorts.

- Yes. Give us the full address when you book and your chauffeur will meet you there for the return trip.
- Can we make a supermarket stop on the way to Bávaro?

- Where does the chauffeur meet us at Punta Cana Airport?
- Terminal A: at the arrivals exit, in the meet-and-greet area, with your name on a tablet. Terminal B: at the Transekur counter in the tour-operator counter area. Your confirmation says which.
- What if our flight is delayed?
- If you stay on the same flight, you do nothing: we track it and the chauffeur waits up to 2 hours after landing at no charge. If you change flight or airline, tell us in writing through the website chat or email, or call, before your chauffeur leaves for the airport.
- Can we travel with car seats?
- Yes. Child seats are an add-on: select them when you reserve so the seat is fitted before your chauffeur leaves for the airport.
