Frequently Asked Questions About Excellence El Carmen Transfers
How much is a taxi from Punta Cana Airport to Excellence El Carmen?
Airport taxis to Excellence El Carmen typically charge $120-$180 depending on negotiation skills and time of day. However, with Vacations Taxis, you get fixed-rate private transfers starting at $95 with guaranteed service, flight tracking, and no haggling. For couples or small groups, a pre-booked private transfer is often cheaper and always more reliable than an airport taxi.
Is there a shuttle to Excellence El Carmen from the airport?
Excellence El Carmen does not operate its own airport shuttle service. Shared shuttle services are available from third-party companies at $35-$50 per person, but they make multiple stops and can take 90+ minutes. For the same total cost (for 2+ travelers), a private transfer offers direct service in half the time. Vacations Taxis provides private transfers that feel like a personal shuttle dedicated entirely to your group.
How far is Excellence El Carmen from Punta Cana Airport?
Excellence El Carmen is 38 kilometers (approximately 24 miles) from Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ). The drive takes 40-50 minutes via the coastal highway through Uvero Alto. The resort is farther north than popular Bávaro and Cap Cana resorts, offering a quieter, more exclusive location with pristine beaches.
Do you track my flight if it's delayed?
Yes. We monitor all flights in real-time using your flight number. If your arrival is delayed, your driver automatically adjusts the pickup time at no extra charge. This service is included in all Excellence El Carmen transfers, and there's no waiting time fee for flight delays up to 2 hours.
Can I book a round-trip transfer to save money?
Absolutely. Round-trip bookings save 10-15% compared to booking two one-way transfers separately. For example, a round-trip sedan transfer costs $170 versus $190 for two separate one-way trips. Round-trip bookings also ensure your return pickup is pre-scheduled and confirmed, eliminating any last-minute coordination stress on your departure day.
What if I'm traveling with children? Do you provide car seats?
Yes, child car seats are available free of charge upon request. During booking, simply specify each child's age so we can provide the appropriate seat type (infant seat, toddler seat, or booster). We carry seats that comply with international safety standards. For larger families, we recommend booking an SUV or van to ensure comfortable seating with car seats installed.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express), debit cards, and PayPal for secure online payment during booking. Payment is processed immediately to confirm your reservation. We also accept cash payment (USD or Dominican Pesos) to the driver if you prefer, though online payment is recommended for convenience and to lock in your rate.
What's your cancellation policy?
Free cancellation up to 24 hours before your scheduled pickup time for a full refund. Cancellations within 24 hours are subject to a 50% fee. No-shows (failure to meet driver or notify us) are non-refundable. If your flight is cancelled, we offer free rebooking to a new date or full refund with airline cancellation proof.
Is the Excellence El Carmen transfer private, or will I share with other passengers?
All Vacations Taxis transfers are completely private. Your vehicle and driver are dedicated exclusively to your group, with no shared rides or stops at other resorts. This ensures the fastest journey (40-50 minutes direct) and maximum comfort, especially important for the longer distance to Uvero Alto.
Can I make stops along the way (grocery store, pharmacy)?
Yes, brief stops can be arranged for an additional fee of $15-25 depending on location and duration. Popular stops include grocery stores for snacks/drinks, pharmacies, or liquor stores. Please mention this during booking or notify your driver upon pickup. Keep in mind that Excellence El Carmen is all-inclusive, so most guests don't need shopping stops, but the option is available if needed.
What if I can't find my driver at the airport?
Your driver will be waiting at the arrivals exit holding a sign with your name clearly visible. If you don't see them immediately, check your booking confirmation email for your driver's name and phone number. You can call or WhatsApp them directly, or contact our 24/7 support line. In 99% of cases, guests spot their driver within 2-3 minutes of exiting customs. Our drivers are instructed to wait at the designated meeting point and will not leave without contacting you first.
