Call a taxi in Aruba

The map above is the real thing. Set your pickup, search for where you are going, choose the taxi and see what your driver will see. Sending the call needs a free account, because a driver has to know who they are collecting.

How it works

Set your pickupLet your phone place you, or drag the map so the pin sits on your door. LYNX names the spot from its own directory of Aruban places before falling back to a street address, so your driver reads a place rather than a guess.
Say where you are goingSearch hotels, beaches, restaurants and shops. LYNX searches its own Aruba directory alongside Google, and its own places carry any deal running there.
A licensed driver takes itThe ride goes to government licensed drivers nearby. The one who accepts is shown to you with their name, plate and vehicle, so you can match the plate before you get in.

When drivers are taking calls

LYNX dispatch is open right now. If nobody can take your ride, the screen says so before you tap, and you can book a pickup for a later time instead.

Common questions

Is there an app to call a taxi in Aruba?

Yes. LYNX is a free taxi app for Aruba on the App Store for iPhone and on Google Play for Android. If you would rather not install anything, the same LYNX runs in your phone browser at app.lynx.aw, with the same drivers and the same official fares.

Do I need an account to call a taxi with LYNX?

You can set up the whole ride without one: your pickup on the map, where you are going, the taxi type, passengers and bags. Sending the call needs a free account, which asks only for your email, because the driver has to know who they are picking up and how to reach you.

Who actually drives the taxi?

A government licensed independent Aruban taxi driver. LYNX does not own taxis or employ drivers: it sends your ride to licensed drivers nearby, and the one who takes it is shown to you with their name, plate and vehicle before they arrive.

Can I book an Aruba taxi for later instead of right now?

Yes. A scheduled pickup is booked on the LYNX fare page, where you also see the official government tariff for the trip before you book it.
