Catching an Uber ride from Las Américas International Airport in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, will be easier than ever from this week on.
That's because new signage is now in place to direct travelers to designated pickup areas just outside the airport's terminal.
Uber recently launched the initiative in coordination with airport authorities in an effort to streamline the arrival process for visitors and local drivers alike.
App users will now find dedicated pickup areas for Uber Select as well as standard Uber services like Comfort and UberXL.
"We want every traveler's first experience in the Dominican Republic to be simple and welcoming. By improving signage and increasing mobility options right at the airport, we're making it easier to move confidently from the moment you land," Laura Santillán, Uber's General Manager for Central America and the Caribbean, said in a statement.
According to Uber, international demand for the rideshare app in the Dominican Republic continues to grow, with riders from more than 120 countries using the app in the past quarter alone.
"The changes reflect growing demand for rideshare services across Latin America, where travelers increasingly rely on services like Uber to move between airports, hotels, beaches, and city centers," added Santillán.
Additionally, Uber has partnered with a local tourist taxi company so that affiliated taxi drivers can register under the Uber Select category.
