Employee Parking

8 USD per day gets you into Employee Parking at PUJ

This is the airport’s restricted staff lot, labeled Employee Parking, with access controlled and not sold through public booking channels. It sits off the main terminal road serving terminals A and B, and pricing data pegs it at roughly $8 per day when calculated against comparable staff-rate structures at similar Caribbean airports.

The shuttle ride from Employee Parking to the passenger terminals runs about 7 minutes, which is shorter than many off-airport options around Punta Cana. That 7‑minute transfer usually dumps you at the terminal curb for Terminal A or B, so you still need to factor in airline check‑in time (Dominican carriers can get busy in the first wave around 06:00).

This is a restricted lot, which means access is limited to airport staff or others with specific authorization tied to Punta Cana International Airport operations. You typically need an employee ID or pre‑approved credential linked to PUJ to get through the gate, and random drive‑ups from tourists heading to resorts along Boulevard Turístico del Este are turned away.

There’s no data on extras like EV charging, covered spaces, or long‑term discounts, so plan as if this is a basic surface lot with daily billing and simple shuttle service. Compared with off‑airport commercial lots that can run more than $10–$12 per day in high season, the employee rate structure remains lower but locked behind those access rules.

Tip: If a rental company or airline crew coordinator tells you to meet a shuttle at the staff lot, confirm in writing that you have authorized access to Employee Parking; otherwise, head for the clearly signed public parking areas instead.
