    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.
    Enjoy it while you can.

    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.

    so you would rather a newbie go with a dominican taxi with ten other people


    or better yet hitch hike out to bb's and hope he doesn't get robbed,raped,beaten even before the chicas get to him
    you only live once, but if you live it right once is enough

    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.

    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.
