People have told me that the insurance through your credit card is not valid in the Dominican Republic. I would call your credit card company and ask before you rely on that aspect.
I agree with TNT72. If this is your first trip here I would not rent a car and drive from STI to Black Beards at night. Take a taxi. If you can speak some Spanish you can probably hire one for $70 - $75.

This is one of the worst and most confusing bits of advice to a newbie ever posted. I guess this poster has been away from the DR so long he has forgotten the basic geography.

Or he doesn't wish to give any assistance. I know that when I go somewhere, I know how to get from the airport to where I am going before I buy the plane ticket.

I am planning a trip to BBs and the difference in flight prices is well over $300 (more like $350) to fly in and out of Santiago as opposed to POP (although I would land mid-day.) I realize there is more time and hassle, but at a certain price point, it probably becomes worth it.
Does anyone have any RECENT info on how much a taxi would be each way from the Santiago airport to BBs? Also, about how long does it take?
Thanks.
Re: santiago to blackbeards
The trip takes 2 hours. A taxi to Sousa cost $80, so I would assume that you could get one to Puerto Plata for $100. You could always take the Caribe Tour bus (they will stop at the entrance to costabar, where metro only stops at their bus station). Bus is only 150 pesos.
