UJ airport survival guide: how to found your driver at terminal A & B
Landing at Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ) is the start of your dream vacation, but for many, the arrival process can feel overwhelming. Between the heat, the crowds, and the “Shark Tank” of unauthorized vendors, you need a plan.
This guide ensures you navigate PUJ like a pro and find your CanaTransfers driver without the stress.
Know your terminal (A or B): Punta Cana Airport has two main terminals. While they look similar, the meeting points are different:
Terminal A: Generally handles European and some North American flights (e.g., Delta, JetBlue, Sunwing).
Terminal B: The newer, modern terminal used largely by American Airlines, United, Southwest, and Air Canada.
Pro tip: Check your boarding pass or the CanaTransfers WhatsApp message you received—we track your flight and will tell you exactly which terminal we are waiting in.
Navigating the “shark tank”: After you clear Immigration and pick up your luggage, you will pass through a hallway filled with people offering “cheap taxis,” timeshares, or excursions. In the industry, we call this the “Shark Tank.”
The high-pressure zone: These vendors can be very aggressive, sometimes even trying to grab your bags or telling you your pre-booked driver isn’t coming.
The survival strategy: Do not stop. Keep walking straight toward the Pre-Booked Transportation Exit. Simply smile, say “No, thank you, I have a private driver,” and keep moving.
