How many passengers can taxis handle?

[miclane001]

I posted yesterday about getting around with a 1-year-old. Now I'm wondering how many passengers taxis can handle. There will be a total of 5 of us, 2 adults and 3 children--13, 7 and 1. I'm finding the rental cars that are available for when we will be in Cozumel are subcompacts and Jeeps that aren't big enough for all of us. Any ideas?

Most taxi (cars) take 4 passengers...I am sure a 1 year old doesn´t figure into the count. But there are also taxi vans that can hold up to 12. There are some rental car companies that offer larger vehicles...I know Executive offers vans.

We used a taxi for our ride out and back to Paradise Beach witha family of five. Kids are 17, 15, and 11. We were a little croweded but not bad. We paid 20.00 on the way out there (but we didn't have to wait in a line) and 15.00 on the way back.
