Getting around

Whether you are traveling halfway round the world to come and visit Curaçao on a two week vacation, hop on over for the weekend from one of our neighboring islands, or hope to stay here for a half year internship, you all have something in common—you need to get around. Learn more about our forms of transportation in the next section.

Taxi Service

There are many ways to recognize a taxi, they are easily identifiable with the taxi-sign on top of the cab and the letters TX on the license plate. All taxi-drivers carry a badge to identify themselves, and inside the taxi you will also see a label, identifying the driver. Every taxi has a taxi meter with fixed rates for your journey. There are taxi stands at the airport, in Punda and Otrobanda, and outside major hotels.

Informative brochures and books provide information about taxi rates. These brochures, called “Taxi Tariff Guide” can be found at the Tourist Board, cruise terminals, airport and at hotels. For more information or complaints, don’t hesitate to call 163.

The tables of tariffs below list the government approved approximate rates as of June 01, 2005. Tariffs are excluding waiting time.
