Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should I book a ride?
We recommend booking your transfer or hourly hire service at least 72 hours in advance. If you don’t have that much time, you can request an urgent transfer — we’ll let you know as soon as possible whether we can confirm it.
What pick-up time should I specify for the transfer?
If your transfer starts from an airport or railway station, please specify your flight or train arrival time as the start of your transfer. This helps the driver organize the meeting more accurately.
If your transfer starts from a hotel to an airport, please indicate the time you wish to be picked up at reception. You’ll need to calculate it yourself, allowing extra time for check-in. We recommend adding about 3 hours before your flight’s departure. For example, if your flight leaves at 14:00 and the trip takes 1 hour, your pick-up time should be 10:00.
How do I know if my order has been accepted?
After submitting your booking, you’ll receive an email with all trip details and your order status as “Waiting”. Once we receive and confirm your payment, the status will change to “Accepted”, and you’ll receive another email confirmation.
If you don’t receive the confirmation email, please contact our support team at office@welcome.taxi.
How do I change my booking?
To make changes to your booking, please contact our support team at office@welcome.taxi.
Important note: Requests for changes made less than 72 hours before your trip may be declined.
How can I cancel my booking?
You can cancel your booking in two ways:
- Via the booking page on our website — use the cancellation number provided in your booking voucher, at least 72 hours before the trip.
- By contacting our support team if it’s less than 72 hours before your ride.
Important note: In case of urgent cancellation, we may not be able to refund your deposit. The free cancellation period is stated in your confirmation email.
What should I do if my flight is delayed?
If your flight is delayed by less than 30 minutes, the driver will adjust their arrival time automatically.
If the delay is longer, please inform the driver directly (their phone number is in your confirmation voucher) or contact WelcomeTaxi Customer Support at office@welcome.taxi. Please include your order number and the new arrival time.
Important note: The driver may charge an additional fee for extended waiting time.
How will I find my driver?
For airport transfers, if you’ve added the meet-and-greet option to your order, the driver will meet you in the arrivals area — right after passport control and baggage claim. You’ll see a name sign with your first and last names (or custom text, if specified in your booking).
Important note: We strongly recommend adding the meet-and-greet option to your airport transfer booking.
For hotel pickups, the driver will wait for you in the hotel lobby. Detailed meeting instructions and your driver’s contact number are provided in your booking confirmation voucher.
How can I be sure that my driver will pick me up?
WelcomeTaxi guarantees that your driver will do their best to meet you on time.
Both you and the driver will have each other’s phone or WhatsApp number. Please keep your mobile phone switched on at the time of pickup. If you can’t reach the driver, contact our support team immediately.
I can’t find my driver. What should I do?
If you can’t find your driver, please double-check the name signs again — the driver may have missed you in the crowd.
Try calling or messaging the driver via WhatsApp. If there’s no response within the meeting time, contact our support team.
If necessary, go to the airport’s Information Desk to arrange a local taxi to your destination.
Important note: If the driver fails to meet you, we will refund your payment.

Airport Transfers and Chauffeur Service in Higüey
Higüey is the principal city of La Altagracia Province in the eastern Dominican Republic and an important commercial, religious and transport centre for the wider Punta Cana region. Although many international visitors know the area primarily for its Caribbean resorts, Higüey is a major city in its own right and a useful base for journeys between inland communities, airports and the eastern coast.
WelcomeTaxi provides pre-booked private transfers and chauffeur service in Higüey for individual travellers, families, business visitors and groups. Transportation can be arranged between airports, hotels, resorts, private addresses, business locations and destinations elsewhere in the Dominican Republic. Booking in advance is especially useful when arriving on an international flight or travelling beyond the immediate city area.
Higüey Airport Transfers
Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ) is the principal international gateway for Higüey and the wider La Altagracia region. The airport is located approximately 40 kilometres northeast of Higüey and serves a large network of international flights.
A private transfer from Punta Cana Airport provides direct transportation to hotels and addresses in Higüey without requiring passengers to continue first to the coastal resort areas. This is particularly convenient for travellers visiting family, attending business appointments or staying in central Higüey rather than at a beach resort.
La Romana International Airport (LRM) is another relevant airport for the region. Depending on the flight schedule and final destination, it can provide an alternative gateway for journeys to Higüey and surrounding communities.
Transfers from Punta Cana Airport to Higüey
Punta Cana International Airport is the most important airport for travellers arriving in the eastern Dominican Republic. Higüey is reached by road from the airport, making a private vehicle a convenient option for passengers who want to travel directly to the city.
Pre-booking means that the pickup, destination and vehicle are arranged before the flight arrives. Passengers can travel directly from the airport terminal to a hotel, residence, office or other address in Higüey without organising local transportation after landing.
This can be especially useful for families, groups and passengers carrying several pieces of luggage. English-speaking drivers can also simplify communication for international visitors.
Getting Around Higüey
Local transportation in the Dominican Republic includes taxis, buses, minibuses known as guaguas and other road services. These options provide affordable connections between cities and towns and are widely used by local residents.
A private vehicle offers a different level of convenience when passengers are working to a fixed schedule, travelling with luggage or need to visit several locations during the same day. It can also simplify journeys from central Higüey to resorts and business areas around Punta Cana and Bávaro.
For international travellers unfamiliar with local routes and stops, pre-booked door-to-door transportation removes the need to coordinate several separate services.
Chauffeur Service in Higüey
Hourly chauffeur service is suitable for travellers who require a vehicle for multiple journeys rather than a simple one-way transfer. The driver and vehicle can remain available according to the booked schedule for meetings, shopping, restaurants, sightseeing or other appointments.
Business visitors can use a chauffeur to travel between Higüey, Punta Cana, Bávaro and other parts of La Altagracia Province. Leisure travellers may also find the service useful when combining the city with coastal resorts or nearby attractions.
For families, delegations and larger groups, vans and minibuses can provide coordinated transportation while keeping passengers together.
The Basilica of Our Lady of La Altagracia
Higüey is home to the Basilica Cathedral of Our Lady of La Altagracia, one of the Dominican Republic's most important religious landmarks. The basilica is a national Marian sanctuary and attracts pilgrims and visitors throughout the year, with particularly large numbers around major religious celebrations.
Private transfers can be arranged from Punta Cana, Bávaro, La Romana and surrounding resort areas directly to the basilica or other locations in Higüey. This is convenient for visitors making a dedicated cultural or religious excursion without staying overnight in the city.
During important feast periods, increased traffic and visitor numbers can affect journey times, so advance transportation planning is advisable.
Private Transfers Between Higüey and Punta Cana
Higüey and Punta Cana are closely linked economically and geographically, but they serve different purposes for travellers. Higüey is the provincial capital and inland commercial centre, while Punta Cana and Bávaro contain the region's largest concentration of beach resorts and tourism infrastructure.
Private transfers can connect hotels, residences and businesses in Higüey with resorts, golf courses and other destinations around Punta Cana. Door-to-door transportation is especially useful when passengers have luggage or need to reach a specific resort rather than a general transport hub.
Hourly chauffeur service can be a practical choice for travellers who need to make several stops across the wider La Altagracia region during the same day.
Transfers Between Higüey and La Romana
La Romana is another important city in eastern Dominican Republic and can be reached by road from Higüey. Private transfers provide a direct option for travellers moving between the two cities or continuing to resorts, the airport or other destinations in the La Romana area.
For passengers following a multi-city itinerary, a pre-booked vehicle avoids the need to travel first to a bus terminal and arrange additional transportation at the destination.
Long-Distance Transfers from Higüey
WelcomeTaxi can arrange long-distance transfers from Higüey to destinations elsewhere in the Dominican Republic according to operational availability. Routes may include Santo Domingo, La Romana, Bayahibe and other locations across the eastern and southern regions.
A long-distance private transfer offers door-to-door travel from a hotel, private residence or other pickup address directly to the final destination. This can be especially convenient for families, business travellers and groups carrying substantial luggage.
For itineraries involving several stops, hourly or multi-stop chauffeur service may provide greater flexibility than a standard one-way transfer.
Why Pre-Book Instead of Taking a Regular Taxi?
Local taxis are useful for short journeys in and around Higüey, while buses and guaguas provide inexpensive regional transportation. A pre-booked private transfer is more appropriate when the route needs to be confirmed in advance, when a specific vehicle size is required or when travelling directly from an airport.
Airport passengers benefit from having their pickup arranged before arrival. Groups can reserve a van or larger vehicle, while travellers making longer journeys can confirm the complete route beforehand rather than negotiating transportation after departure.
International visitors may also prefer transportation with an English-speaking driver, particularly when travelling between the airport, inland addresses and coastal resorts.
Useful Travel Information for Higüey
Higüey lies inland from the main Punta Cana resort corridor, so travellers should distinguish clearly between Higüey city and coastal destinations such as Bávaro and Punta Cana when booking transportation. A hotel described as being in La Altagracia Province may be a significant drive from central Higüey.
Punta Cana International Airport is the main airport for the region and is approximately 40 kilometres from the city. La Romana International Airport can also be relevant depending on flight availability and the traveller's wider itinerary.
When booking airport or long-distance transportation, provide accurate flight details, passenger numbers, luggage requirements and the exact destination so that an appropriate vehicle can be arranged.
Book a Private Transfer in Higüey
WelcomeTaxi offers pre-booked transportation for airport arrivals, city transfers, chauffeur hire and long-distance journeys from Higüey. Whether you need a transfer from Punta Cana International Airport, a vehicle for several hours around La Altagracia Province or direct transportation to another destination in the Dominican Republic, your journey can be arranged in advance with a suitable vehicle and professional driver.
