- Is the $40 price per person or per vehicle?
- Per vehicle. $40 Standard covers 1–6 passengers with luggage in one private car, taxes and tolls included — the same figure whether you are two people or six. VIP is $79 for the same group in a luxury SUV or executive van. Groups of 7–14 move to a passenger van: +$20 on Standard, +$40 on VIP.
- How long is the drive from LRM to Bayahibe pier (Saona and Catalina boats)?
- 25–35 min in normal traffic. Allow for the drive to Bayahibe harbour and use the precise meeting point confirmed by your boat operator. The car is yours alone, so there are no other pickups or hotel stops on the way.
- Where does the driver meet us at Bayahibe pier (Saona and Catalina boats)?
- At LRM, meet the driver in arrivals with your name sign. For the harbour drop-off, send the operator's confirmed location and required arrival time. Bayahibe is not a universal departure point for Catalina excursions.
- Do all Catalina boats leave from Bayahibe?
- No. Do not infer your departure point from the island name or a Saona itinerary. Use the Catalina operator's confirmed meeting instructions.
- Can we take suitcases?
- Ask the boat operator about baggage and agree any storage or onward delivery separately. Neither is automatically included in the road transfer.
- Will the driver wait if the boat is late?
- Agree a pickup window and waiting terms in advance. Contact dispatch when the return changes; do not assume unlimited waiting or automatic rescheduling.
