Catching a cab is a good way to see the island of Anguilla. Taxi drivers can be both your driver and your island tour guide. Once you get to Anguilla you should be able to find a cab with relative ease, as they meet all incoming flights. Unlike many other islands in the Caribbean, Anguilla's roads are in fairly good condition, so you won't experience as many bumps and potholes.
Although cab fares on Anguilla are based on set rates, and the official fares are published in annual tourist guides, cab fares are unmetered. Therefore, it is wise to confirm the price of the ride with the driver before setting out on your journey. If you're traveling with a lot of luggage or need to make additional stops, inquire about additional charges. There is generally a $0.50(USD) surcharge per bag for more than two bags. Passengers must pay the cab fare in cash. Both U.S. dollars and Eastern Caribbean dollars are acceptable forms of payment. Two-hour island tours start at about $40(USD) for one or two people, with an additional $5(USD) charge for each additional passenger up to a maximum of six people.
The following chart shows some of the average fares from several destinations around the island, including the airport and popular accommodations. Traveling in the island's more remote locations may incur extra costs.
