Yes
Uber operates at Punta Cana airport. After landing, request your ride in the app and follow its step-by-step directions to the meeting point. The airport's own transportation page lists Uber pick-up areas for both terminals as still to be determined, so rely on the app for the exact spot. Some travel sites report that pickups directly at the airport are restricted; we could not confirm a rule, so check the pickup point in the app before you land. Uber advises not to accept rides from people offering Uber trips inside the terminal.

Taxi
The airport lists three authorized taxi companies (SIUTRATURAL, BERON TAXI and ASOTATUPAL) and publishes taxi rate sheets for standard and long-distance trips. We could not open the current rate sheet, so we show no taxi price here. Check the sheet on the airport website, ask the fare for your hotel before you get in, and pay only the amount you agreed.

Request the ride after landing and follow the in-app directions to the meeting point. The price is shown in the app before you confirm and moves with demand.

Public transport
The airport's transportation page links to APTRA Public Transportation Service (aptpra.com) without routes, fares or schedules, so we cannot give a price or time. With luggage and a hotel in Bavaro, a car is usually the simpler choice.

Rental car
Rental desks are inside the airport, listed by terminal on the airport website. A car makes sense if you plan to explore beyond your resort; for a Bavaro stay with transfers only, it adds parking and fuel costs.
