Start with the journey you need
The word VIP can describe different parts of an arrival. One traveller wants a private vehicle to a villa; another wants help navigating the airport; a third wants both. Begin with those practical needs rather than assuming that every service using the same label has the same inclusions.
LRM VIP is a ground transportation brand. Use the La Romana airport transfer overview to plan the road journey, and ask the airport assistance provider separately about services within the terminal. A similar name does not make two reservations interchangeable.
| Booking | What to establish |
|---|---|
| Private airport transfer | Road route, passengers, luggage, vehicle suitability, fare and driver meeting. |
| Airport meet-and-assist | The exact airport assistance included, eligible flight and provider's meeting instructions. |
| Lounge admission | Which lounge, arrival or departure eligibility, access conditions and confirmation. |
| Both road and airport services | Separate confirmations and an agreed handover between the two teams. |
Understand the airport assistance offer separately
La Romana airport publishes separate VIP assistance options, including meet-and-greet and a departure option with lounge access. The selected service determines the inclusions. Check the airport provider's current terms before paying; do not infer lounge admission from the words meet-and-greet alone.
Assistance does not remove immigration, customs or security requirements. The airport states that its staff do not intervene in official government processes. A ground transport booking likewise cannot waive checks or guarantee admission to the country.
This guide does not sell airport assistance or quote its current fees. Ask that provider to confirm availability, advance-booking requirements, payment, changes and cancellation conditions for your actual flight. Keep its reply separate from the vehicle confirmation.
Read the road confirmation as a road itinerary
For the car journey, check the airport code, local date, flight number and complete destination. Casa de Campo can mean a hotel, villa, golf location or marina meeting; a broad area name may leave the final stop unclear.
Confirm passenger numbers, the full luggage load and any child-seat or mobility requirements before accepting the vehicle plan. The LRM VIP pickup process explains the information needed for a road reservation. A submitted request still needs acceptance by the team.
Read the published VIP road prices against the confirmed destination and party size. Do not add an airport assistance fee to a transport quote yourself and treat the sum as a combined package. Each provider should identify the service and amount it has accepted.
A name sign does not identify the whole service
A personalised welcome can be part of different arrangements. Before travelling, establish who is meeting you, which reservation they represent and where that meeting takes place. A sign with your name does not by itself establish terminal assistance, a driver assignment or permission to enter restricted areas.
Save the provider name, booking reference and reachable contact for each service. If a greeter says they will introduce you to the driver, ask both teams to confirm that handover in advance rather than relying on an assumption at arrivals.
If you cannot identify the agreed driver, follow the driver contact sequence. Contact the transport team using the saved reservation details before accepting an alternative ride or allowing someone to replace your booking.
Connect the terminal exit to the driver meeting
With both services booked, give the road team the airport assistance contact and ask whether any coordination is needed. Give the assistance team the confirmed driver meeting instructions. Share the details relevant to the handover, rather than circulating complete identity documents between providers unnecessarily.
Scheduled landing time is not the moment you step into the vehicle. Baggage, formalities and the walk to the agreed public meeting location still affect the arrival. Airport assistance should not be used to promise a fixed hotel arrival time or an automatically shorter vehicle waiting period.
If one service changes, notify the other provider directly. An updated flight or assistance meeting does not automatically update the road booking. Ask the transport team to accept any revised date, airport, destination or collection arrangement and confirm any effect on the fare.
Plan departure and private aviation on their own terms
For the flight home, agree the hotel or villa collection and airport destination with the road team. Arrange any airport assistance meeting separately, then plan backwards from the reporting time required by the airline and the assistance provider. A lounge reservation is not a reason to delay leaving your accommodation.
For private aviation, use the flight-handler and driver handover guide. Ask the actual handler to confirm the permitted meeting. A private vehicle, an airport VIP service and an FBO handling arrangement are different bookings; none should be assumed to grant the others' access permissions.
Use this confirmation checklist before flying
Keep a short summary on your phone so the travelling passenger can distinguish the bookings even if someone else arranged them.
- Road provider, accepted route, local date, flight and complete fare.
- Passenger and luggage details, plus confirmed vehicle requirements.
- Driver meeting instructions and a reachable transport contact.
- Airport assistance provider and exact accepted services, if booked.
- Lounge eligibility and confirmation, if requested separately or within an assistance option.
- Where each service starts and ends, and who coordinates the handover.
- Separate change, cancellation and payment conditions for each reservation.
For the road journey, send your flight, destination and passenger details through the LRM VIP booking form. State if you have arranged airport assistance so the team can clarify the driver meeting. Request airport services from their provider separately; mentioning them in a car inquiry does not reserve them.
