    Catching a cab inside PD it might be upwards of US$50.

    Catching a conch or guagua outside the gates of PD it will be RD$20-50. A private cab might run RD$200-300.

    Yes, walk out the gate and catch a public taxi for under a $1 or take a taxi to the gate for about $3.

    Be cheaper to just rub one off in the shower.

    Ever drive into Playa Dorado? It's like driving back to the US!

    Everything is organized, clean, and the roads are paved. BORING!!!

    I am just guessing at the prices but I doubt there are regular taxis there and just tourist taxis.

    Only Tourist taxis are there and they have those big grins on their faces.

    I made this trip a few time last trip.

    I paid 800 pesos for 3 hours in sosua.
    This is around $27US.
    Never pay the outrageous listed prices they show you.
    If they don't want to make money, just walk outside of the complex and get a public taxi.
    It's best to hire them to stay with you.
    If you tried to pay for 2 one way fares, it would probably be even more than a good flat rate.

    I would pay 600 for 3 hours in Puerto Plata.

    I usually buy them a beer or 2 as well and they are all anxious to see me again.

    I often use the same driver several times and get even better deals for many hours at night.
