By Taxi

Serving the Keys from Ocean Reef to Key West, Luxury Limousine has luxury sedans and limos that seat up to eight passengers, as well as vans and buses. It'll pick up from any airport in South Florida. In the Upper Keys (MM 94-74), Village Taxi has been operating since 1982 and charges a $5 pickup charge plus $2 per mi for vans that hold six. It also makes airport runs. Florida Keys Taxi Dispatch (also called Five Sixes Taxi) operates around the clock in Key West. The fare for two or more from the Key West airport to Old Town or New Town is $7.50 per person. Otherwise meters register $2.75 to start, 55 for each 1/5 mi, and 55 for every 50 seconds of waiting time. Their pink taxis all have bike racks.
