The new owners of Las Americas International Airport have hiked the price of parking at Santo Domingo's main airport. While leaving the car at the airport for a week used to cost RD$610, the rate is now RD$10,080. The new rate is equivalent to RD$1 per minute. This means that leaving the car overnight will cost RD$1,440.
The previous rate was RD$20 per hour in the short-term parking area and RD$30 per hour in the normal parking area, RD$20 for the first hour and RD$10 for additional hours in the long-term parking area. Parking at the airport was so popular that it was difficult to find a spot.
The new management's decision comes as good news for the airport taxi drivers. With the former rates it was less expensive to leave one's car at the parking lot than to take taxis to and from the airport. Now the taxi option is cheap compared to the hiked rates. A taxi charges around US$30 to drive into Santo Domingo.
