As in many other countries, Uber has had many issues operating to and from Punta Cana Airport over the past few years.
Transportation in Punta Cana is controlled by unions, which operate both the taxi service and public transportation. Unfortunately, there have been incidents where union members or taxi drivers confronted passengers taking Ubers between hotels and the airport.
Does Uber Work in the Dominican Republic?
Yes, Uber works in the Dominican Republic — you can use it in Santo Domingo, Santiago, and most of the country's largest cities. But not reliably in Punta Cana, due to the union situation described above.
So What's My Best Option for Punta Cana Transfers?
Your safest option is to book transportation in advance with a licensed, insured company that serves your resort. When a company is established and recommended, it means they're safe, licensed and insured — so you're not likely to have any problem with the unions or taxi drivers.
Booking ahead also means a driver waiting for you, a fixed price, and no surprises on arrival.
