Ask ANY OG that been going to the DR since early 2000s or even the 90s and they'll tell u how much of a HUGE difference it is from then to now.

      Im not sure of his price but at SDQ airport the taxis charge $200 for that four hour ride. I pay $150, the cheapest I ever paid was $125 but I normally catch a taxi from the airport for $30 directly to the bus station, Metro Bus or Caribe Tours and just pay $10 for the bus ticket and flirt with chicks on the bus on the way up lol
