San Juan by taxi


San Juan by taxi

Taxis can be found hanging around hotels and the east end of Calle de la Fortaleza in Old San Juan. In theory, they are supposed to be metered (the rates are posted on doors) except for a selection of common tourist routes with fixed fares. In practice, cabbies are well aware that tourists tend to have no idea what those fixed fares are and charge according to what they feel like. For reference, the official fares as of January 2009 are:
  • Airport-Zone 1 (Luis Muñoz Marín Airport): Starting Point
  • Airport-Zone 2 (Isla Verde): $10
  • Airport-Zone 3 (Condado & Miramar): $15

  • Airport-Plaza Las Américas: $18
  • Airport-Plaza Carolina: $14
  • Airport-Belz Factory Outlet: $46
  • Airport-Coliseo José M. Agrelot: $14
  • Authorized taxi stands at the airport and cruise ship piers often write up vouchers. for travel between those two points that cost more than the above fare on days cruise ships are dropping off and taking on passengers.
