Question 1

Do taxis in Aruba use meters?

Accepted Answer

No. Aruba taxis do not use meters. Fares are set by an official government tariff for each route, so the price is fixed before you get in and you can agree it with the driver in advance.

Question 2

Is an Aruba taxi fare per person or per car?

Accepted Answer

The fare is for the car, not for each person. A published rate covers the whole vehicle up to its normal passenger capacity, so a family pays the same as a single traveller on the same route.

Question 3

How do I get a taxi in Aruba?

Accepted Answer

You can book one in advance, request one on the spot, or find a driver at a hotel or the airport taxi stand. LYNX, a free app on the App Store and Google Play that also works in any browser, can send a government licensed driver to you, or schedule one for a later time.

Question 4

Are Aruba taxi fares higher at night or on Sundays?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The official tariff adds a surcharge for late night journeys and on Sundays and public holidays. The LYNX fare calculator applies the surcharge automatically for the time you choose.

Question 5

How much does a taxi from Aruba airport cost?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your destination, because the tariff prices each route separately rather than by distance travelled. The LYNX fare calculator covers the airport to every hotel area and lists the exact official rate.
