# How much is an STI airport transfer?

Pricing explained · every figure from our published rate list

## Direct answer

A private transfer from STI costs $25 to $175 one-way for the main destinations — $25 Santiago or Licey/Tamboril, $45 Moca or La Vega, $85 Puerto Plata, $89 Jarabacoa, $105 Cabarete, $175 Santo Domingo — per vehicle for one to six passengers, not per person. VIP in a larger, higher-spec vehicle runs $59 to $269 on the same list. Seven to fourteen passengers uses a van: +$20 Standard or +$40 VIP on local destinations.

Prices are one-way, per vehicle, taxes included, 1–6 passengers. 7–14 passengers move to a van: Standard +20 / VIP +40 on local zones. Private only — no shared seats, no night surcharge, no prepayment to hold. Rate list updated August 2026.

## Per vehicle, not per person

Two people to Santiago pay $25. Six people to Santiago pay the same $25. A platform quoting a per-person fare only looks cheaper until a family of five adds it up. Luggage is included in the same figure — no per-bag or per-golf-bag charge.

## Standard vs VIP

Standard is an air-conditioned SUV or minivan, one to six passengers with the usual four to six cases: $25 Santiago, $45 La Vega, $89 Jarabacoa, $85 Puerto Plata, $105 Cabarete, $175 Santo Domingo. VIP is a larger, higher-spec vehicle with a more experienced driver and bottled water: $59 Santiago, $89 La Vega, $149 Jarabacoa, $145 Puerto Plata, $169 Cabarete, $269 Santo Domingo. Most solo and couple travelers choose Standard; VIP is popular for business travel into Santiago, weddings and groups wanting extra comfort on the mountain roads.

## The van surcharge, round trip and what is included

Seven to fourteen passengers moves to a passenger van: +$20 on Standard, +$40 on VIP, on local destinations. Booking a round trip takes 5% off the pair, and there is no prepayment penalty for booking the return leg later.

Included in every fare: taxes and tolls, flight tracking, meet-and-greet inside the small arrivals hall with a name sign, free waiting for a delayed flight, and child seats fitted when you tell us the ages. Not included: gratuity, at your discretion.
