The rates were updated in 2022. You can find them on this page, below. Additionally, the taxi tariffs card called “Island of St. Thomas Motor Vehicles For Hire Official Minimum/Maximum Rates” must be posted in all public vehicles used as a taxi.

- Are taxis available everywhere in St. Thomas?

- Will taxis in St. Thomas take me to my requested destination? The rules of operation for taxi drivers in St. Thomas states: “All passengers must be discharged at their precise requested locations when fare is accepted or agreed to.”
- Tip for people staying in an Airbnb: Some driveways in St. Thomas are steep, narrow, bumpy, and there are a few that are un-paved/dirt. Taxi drivers may be unable or unwilling to navigate such driveways and may suggest that they will drop you off at the entrance to the driveway. To help mitigate this situation ask your Airbnb host what their driveway’s condition is like; and be sure to clearly indicate what your final destination is when discussing the fare with the taxi driver and before boarding the taxi. If there is an issue with where you are discharged, get the driver’s name, taxi license number, and/or the vehicle’s license plate in order to file a complaint.

Tips for taking Taxis in St. Thomas
- St. Thomas taxi rates are standardized but there are additional fees for things like luggage and waiting. It’s a good idea to speak to the driver and agree to your total rate before boarding the taxi. The total rate for you, your group, your luggage, waiting, making a quick stop at the grocery store, a tour, whatever you have requested, get the total fare.
- Some taxis in St. Thomas can carry up to 26 passengers. Taxi drivers of large vehicles, particular at the cruise ship docks and airport, will wait to fill their vehicle before departing. Here are two things to be aware of related to this situation:
- If you have a schedule to stick to, for catching a ferry or getting back to a cruise ship, be sure to let the taxi dispatcher and driver know.
- Drivers will accommodate multiple groups/individuals in the same vehicle, going in the same general direction but not necessary to the same location. You can therefore expect multiple stops along the way as passengers are discharged at their designated location. Those going to the furthest location will be on the taxi the longest.
- Taxi rates are per person by destination. There is a taxi rate for “two or more passengers”. This rate applies to passengers in the same party/group; and not to two or more passengers on the same vehicle that don’t know each other.
- There are people that run “gypsy taxis” in their personal vehicles. They often hustle outside bars and grocery stores. They are not licensed taxis, and therefore they do not adhere to the regulations set by the Virgin Islands Taxi Commission. “Gypsy taxis” have been around for decades in St. Thomas, they are however use at your own risk.
- For St. Thomas sightseeing tour rates, luggage rates, hourly rates, and other information, see the Additional Taxi Charges Section.
Note Regarding Taxi Rates: New taxi rates went into effect on October 24th, 2022. The 2022 published rates, additional charges and provisions are below.
