All taxi drivers should carry a rate card with approved fares set
by the Taxi Commission. Taxis have no meters and charge by zone.
Roundtrip fares are double. There is also a charge for baggage
and waiting time. Most will take you on an island tour ranging
from US$30-$45 for up to 2 people, US$12 per person for
additional passengers. Don't get in a vehicle that doesn't have
"TP" on the license plate and a dome light above the
