Do taxis in dominican republic take us dollars?

All taxis, public transportation, and many restaurants only operate in cash, and are expected to be paid in Dominican pesos. If you have a foreign currency, they might accept it (they might), but they won't give you exchange in the same currency and they might not give you any change. Dominican Limousine has taxis equipped with ramps and hydraulic lifts that operate in Santo Domingo and Punta Cana. There are plenty of places to find taxis in Santo Domingo, such as Parque Colón and Parque Duarte, outside of all high-end hotels and throughout the Colonial Zone.
