Public Transportation
Guaguas
Public buses in the Dominican Republic, commonly known as guaguas, are by far the cheapest way to get around. However, they are generally not recommended for travelers heading to resorts, especially those unfamiliar with the local transit system. Guaguas tend to follow fixed routes with frequent stops, can be crowded, and may lack air conditioning or modern comforts. Additionally, schedules can be irregular, and navigating the routes may be confusing for visitors. For these reasons, while guaguas offer an authentic local experience and budget-friendly travel, most tourists prefer more convenient and direct transportation options when traveling to resorts like those in Punta Cana.
Pros:
Extremely low cost (~$5–15 USD total)
Cons:
No luggage space or air conditioning
🧳 Not suitable for tourists with bags or limited Spanish skills
Public transportation is best for local commuting or experienced backpackers, not resort guests.
Rental Car
You can rent a car directly at Punta Cana Airport from well-known agencies such as Avis, Sixt, or Budget. While this option offers flexibility to explore the area on your own schedule, it also comes with challenges that travelers should consider. Driving in Punta Cana can be stressful due to unfamiliar traffic rules, varying road conditions, and sometimes unclear signage. Additionally, navigating through busy airport traffic right after a long flight can be overwhelming. For many visitors, especially those unfamiliar with the region, arranging a private transfer provides a more relaxed and hassle-free start to their trip, allowing them to sit back and enjoy the ride while a professional driver takes care of the rest
Pros:
Flexibility to explore the island
Ideal for adventurous travelers
Cons:
Driving in the DR can be chaotic
Signage may be in Spanish only
Some resorts have limited parking
Unless you plan to visit other cities like Santo Domingo or La Romana, a rental car is likely unnecessary.
