Pickup and meeting point
- Departure airport: Las Américas Airport in Santo Domingo is the pickup location. Its airport code is SDQ, so a flight arriving at PUJ doesn't match this service.
- Meeting message: Keep the pickup instructions sent the day before travel. A specific counter isn't supplied in advance of that message, so it gives you the meeting arrangement.
- Overnight journeys: A drive that enters the period from 12 a.m. to 4 a.m. carries an extra fee. Uvero Alto has a separate destination supplement.
- Passenger arrangements: Wheelchair accessible transport and infant seats are available for this service. The vehicle setup needs to be arranged around the passengers traveling with you.
Before you book
- Check the airport code on your flight booking. This ride starts at SDQ and doesn't serve a PUJ arrival.
