An airport connection, planned around the departure

STI is Santiago's airport, 75 km south of POP over the Cordillera Septentrional, and it handles a lot of the domestic, Caribbean and US routes that POP does not. People book this run when a flight out of STI is cheaper or better timed, when a cancelled POP departure is rebooked from Santiago, or simply because family lives in the Cibao. The drive itself is straightforward on the Autopista Duarte; the part that matters is the clock. Send the STI departure time and we work backwards — check-in window, the mountain grade where trucks slow everything down, and a buffer that is real. On the way back we do the reverse, meeting your STI arrival with a name sign in the terminal.

Hotels, villas and drop-off points

This is an airport-to-airport run, so there is no hotel to confirm — the flight numbers are what we need. We can add a stop in Santiago on the way for an extra fee agreed in writing.

We drop at the STI departures level. For pickups at STI the driver waits inside the arrivals hall with your name on a sign and helps with the bags to the car park.

Bigger groups

7–14 passengers ride in a passenger van: +$20 on Standard, +$40 on VIP for this zone. Golf bags, strollers, wheelchairs and surf gear are fine — give us the luggage count and we send the right vehicle instead of guessing at the curb.

POP to Cibao International Airport (STI) — questions we get daily

How long does POP to STI take?
60 to 75 minutes for about 75 km. We plan on the longer figure because the mountain grade is unpredictable behind trucks.
How much buffer should I leave for the STI flight?
Give us the flight number and we work it out with you. As a rule we aim to have you at the terminal well inside the check-in window, not at the edge of it.
Can you pick us up at STI and drive to the north coast?
Yes, we run it in both directions at the same rate. The driver meets your flight inside the arrivals hall with a name sign.
Is the price per person?
No. It is per vehicle, one-way, for 1–6 passengers, taxes included.
