Destination and route planning
Gregorio Luperón International Airport serves Puerto Plata and the Dominican Republic’s North Coast. Its IATA code is POP and its ICAO code is MDPP; Punta Cana is a different airport. Puerto Plata city lies west of POP, while Sosúa and Cabarete lie to the east. Use the exact hotel or villa address to identify your destination zone.
Road distance depends on the exact origin, destination and route. A zone can cover several towns or entrances, so it has no single verified terminal-to-door distance. Send the property address or map pin for route confirmation. The table shows our published driving estimates and fares; traffic, weather and access can change the journey. These estimates do not include airport processing or determine departure pickup time.
Meeting your driver
After landing, allow time for immigration, baggage collection and customs before meeting your driver outside the arrivals exit. These airport procedures are separate from road-driving time. Send your flight number and arrival date, keep the written meeting instructions available offline, and contact dispatch if the flight or your exit from the terminal changes.
After immigration, baggage collection and customs, leave through the arrivals exit. Your driver meets you outside the arrivals exit with your booking name on a sign. Follow your written pickup instructions; if you cannot find the driver, contact dispatch on WhatsApp.
Private transfer options
Compare a prebooked private transfer with the actual taxi, app or package-shuttle offer available for your journey. Check the full fare, passenger and luggage capacity, meeting point and extra stops. App availability and pickup instructions can change; a hotel shuttle is included only if your booking says so.
Each private transfer is for your party. Send the actual destination, passenger count, bags, child-seat needs and mobility equipment so dispatch can confirm a suitable vehicle. Do not infer luggage capacity from the advertised seat count alone.
