Motorcycle taxis, called motoconchos, are popular in the Dominican Republic. Unfortunately, there is no way to get a Motorcycle Taxi at the airport.

Uber in Punta Cana

Uber is also available in Punta Cana. Due to local disagreements, Uber's are not allowed into the spa, so you would need to stay at the gate of the Royalton Bavaro and wait for a golf cart for the remainder of the ride. As a warning, you should not call an Uber from the airport or resort.

If you call an Uber in an area with a taxi stand or high traffic, an argument can break out between the Uber and taxi drivers. Thus, using Uber is neither a safe nor the most enjoyable choice in Punta Cana.
