Question on Taxi Rates

[cruisingbajan]

I have read on here and other places that taxi fare is $45/hr. I have also heard/see tours advertised on our sites for flat rates.

 

Which is it or do both types of rates apply?

 

Thanks in advance guys.

Taxi TOURS are a flat rate of $45 per hour including a maximum of 5 people

 

Taxi fares are based upon rates set by the government based upon areas of the island.

 

Fox example

Oranjestad (cruise terminal) to Palm Beach $14

Oranjestad (cruise terminal) to Eagle Beach $13

Oranjestad (cruise terminal) to Savaneta $25

 

Fares are per ride, not per person, with a maximum of 5 people per taxi

There is a surcharge of $3 per ride for Sunday and holidays

Tours through tour companies are separate from straight taxi tours.

 

Taxi tours are considered "private" and thus the per hour price, as are all taxi fares, are regulated by the government.

Just got back off the Coral Princess sailing April 4th. In Aruba rented Bully Taxi service and did a 3 hour island tour, the taxi was 45.00 an hr. This tours and tour operator are highly recommended. Here is some pictures from my trip. http://timstafford.net/panama-canal-cruise.htm
