What to know before you board

Timetables change without notice

Dominican operators adjust departures for season, roadworks or demand, and they almost never publish it. That is why we verify by phone before confirming each request and show the last check date on this page.

We never sell the last departure of the day

If your bus fails there has to be a later one to rebook you on. That is the rule that lets us offer a real guarantee.
