Group transfers in Punta Cana: choosing the right vehicle

2 min read

The essentials

  • Count seats and cases separately: luggage is usually the real limit.
  • The Hyundai H1 takes up to 6 passengers; the Hiace 7 to 12; the Sprinter up to 15.
  • One large vehicle usually works out better than two small ones.
  • The fare is per vehicle, so it divides across the whole group.

The commonest mistake when booking for a group is counting people and forgetting the bags. The two numbers rarely match: the Hiace carries up to twelve passengers but ten cases. Twelve people with a large case each will not fit, even though every one of them has a seat. It is worth doing both sums before deciding.

The three options for groups

  • Hyundai H1: up to 6 passengers. The natural choice for a family or two couples.
  • Toyota Hiace: 7 to 12 passengers. The middle ground for groups travelling together.
  • Mercedes-Benz Sprinter: up to 15 passengers. For large parties, or parties with a lot of luggage.

One large or two small

For ten people, the temptation is to book two small vehicles. It is usually a worse idea than it looks: the group splits, arrivals fall out of step, and every stop means waiting for both cars. A single large vehicle keeps the group together and simplifies the logistics of the whole trip, not just the transfer.

Frequently asked questions

Is the fare per person?
No, it is per vehicle. A party of twelve pays one fare, not twelve.
What if we are more than fifteen?
We coordinate several vehicles so they leave and arrive together. Message us on WhatsApp with the exact numbers and the luggage.
Can golf or surf equipment travel?
Tell us when you book: bulky equipment decides the vehicle, and we would rather settle that beforehand than at the kerb.
