Answering Our Clients’ Most Asked Questions
Answering Our Clients’ Most Asked Questions
Are all St. Lucia cab prices the same or about the same?
Absolutely not. It is very important for visitors to the island to know that cabs in St. Lucia are not metered, and as such, companies can vary widely in their pricing for identical trips. Always get a quote in advance and make sure you inform your driver of any stops you will need to make to ensure its accuracy.
How Can I Be Certain That the Cab I Have Chosen Is Certified and Safe? While we recommend using our service because we are licensed, certified, and provide the safest and most affordable transportation on the island, you will find that all registered taxi cabs in St. Lucia have TX license plates.

Where Can Your Taxi Company Take Me and When?
Our service can take you anywhere on the island you want to go. Whether you need an airport transfer, a ride to or from your hotel or resort, or to any of the exciting sights and attractions St. Lucia has to offer, we will be happy to take you there.
Are St. Lucia Taxi Cabs Private or Shared?
This all depends on which taxi service you use. Here at St. Lucia Taxi Cab, all of our taxis are private. If you or your party book a taxi ride or airport transfer, our vehicle will be reserved solely for your use until your ride is complete.
What Makes St. Lucia Taxi Cab Different from Other Cab Companies in St. Lucia?
There are many things that set us apart in the St. Lucia cab service world. First, all of our drivers are certified island guides and are native to St. Lucia, which means that they not only know the best way to get you to your destination, but also the best places on the island for food, entertainment, adventure, and more. We also maintain the best fleet of vehicles on the island, all of which are regularly serviced, fully insured, and air conditioned.
Last, our goal as a company is for everyone who visits our island to love it as much as we do, which means that we always go the extra mile to provide our travelers with a localized experience and to make sure every client feels like the most important person in the world while they are in our care.

Do I Need a Reservation in Order to Use Your Services?
While we will always work to get a ride to you as quickly as possible when needed, reservations ensure that a driver is ready and waiting when you are ready. If you are just arriving at one of our airports, for example, a reservation will ensure that one of our friendly drivers is waiting outside with a sign bearing your name the moment you have cleared customs. By pre-booking one of our St. Lucia cabs, you also have the comfort of knowing exactly how much your fare will be.
Do I Need to Tip My Taxi Driver?
While tipping your driver for outstanding service is certainly welcomed, it is neither expected nor required when you use St. Lucia Taxi Cab.
What Sights Will I Get to See During the Drive from the Airport to My Hotel or Resort?
The answer to this question depends not only on where you are staying, but which of the two airports you will be arriving at. Visitors arriving at George F.L. Charles Airport will find that the drive to most resorts is quite short, though the city of Castries will certainly be part of the drive. For visitors arriving at Hewanorra International Airport, however, everything from the Piton Mountains to beaches and fishing villages may be along your route. As always, however, if there is something in St. Lucia that you really want to see, just let us know when you book your taxi and we will make sure you get the perfect view!
How Far Is the Drive from the Airport to My Hotel or Resort?
While the answer to this question depends on where you are staying, we can provide you with some basic information. Most travelers to St. Lucia will arrive at Hewanorra International Airport (UVF). From here the village of Soufriere, where you will find many of the island’s most famous attractions, is 30 minutes away. Castries, where you will find many of the island’s resorts, is about an hour away from Hewanorra. This is certainly a longer distance than travelers coming into SLU (George F.L. Charles Airport) will experience, as for these travelers it is only a 20 minute drive to Soufriere and a 5 minute drive to Castries, but visitors arriving at Hewanorra International Airport will find themselves with the opportunity to see the Piton Mountains and some of the amazing flora and fauna of St. Lucia as well as fishing villages, beaches, and other amazing sights during the drive to their hotel or resort.
I Am Coming in from a Cruise Ship.
Will I Have Time to Visit the Island’s Sights and Attractions? While your ability to explore St. Lucia is certainly dependent on how much time you have to spend on the island, you will find that the small size of St. Lucia makes it easy to pack a lot of adventure into a fairly small amount of time. There are lots of shops, restaurants, and attractions within easy reach of the island’s cruise ship ports, making it easy for you to explore even if you only have a short time on the island. If your time on the island is short, however, we highly recommend booking your taxi in advance!
When Is the Best Time to Visit St. Lucia?
With our warm, tropical climate, there really is no bad time to visit the island. We are perfectly nestled in between the Atlantic and the Caribbean, providing a beautiful year-round temperature. Travelers looking to save money, however, will find that visiting in the fall or winter not only offers the chance for cheaper airfares, but offers lower costs at many of the island’s attractions as well as smaller crowds. With that said, however, spring and summer are always beautiful here in St. Lucia!
Is a Visa or Passport Required for Me to Visit St. Lucia? Unless you are visiting St. Lucia from a local island, a passport IS required. If you have a US passport or have a passport from any of the commonwealth countries with whom St. Lucia has an agreement, you will not need to obtain a visa to visit the island.
