St. Thomas Taxi Cabs

Hiring is a taxi cab is a pretty standard but expensive way of getting around St. Thomas. There are taxi stands on the water front, or you can flag cabs on the street. Unfortunately, they do not have meters and, although there is a schedule of official rates which should be posted in the cab, you are rarely quoted the same rate twice. Make sure you agree on the price before entering the taxi cab. Fares are based on distance and the number of passengers. A trip from Charlotte Amalie to Red Hook Dock is $9 for one passenger or $7 for each passenger, making a four-passenger trip a whopping $28. People who dislike haggling over the price will find this system hopeless.
