Motoconchos - or motorbike taxis - are the cheapest (U.S. $ 2 to U.S. $ 4 for most trips) and are the fastest possibility for shorter distances in Punta Cana. It is also the riskiest way of transportation.

Always select a Motoconcho driver with an orange vest. this shows that he is a member of the Local Drivers Association and therefore needs to have certain skills and must apply to certain rules to ensure a safe ride.

Young guys drive within the towns and areas and act as a fast and cheap Taxi service. They normally take 1 to 2 passengers, a fare applies and is calculated per person. The locals use the motoconchios for mass transportation, I have seen 5 people (adults) on a Motoconcho. The motoconchos have fixed prices for cetain routes, ask the loals what they pay, as a tourist you might pay too much.

Note that after sunset the prices will double.

Here are some examples of prices:

Bavaro - Friusa = 20 Pesos
Bavaro - Pachi Pachi = 40 Pesos
Bavaro - Cortecito = 40 - 50 Pesos
Bavaro - Hotel Riu = 50 Pesos
Bavaro - Cabeza de Toro = 180 Pesos
