Taxi Travel

With no buses on Easter Island, taxis are a common form of transport, so it’s never difficult to flag one down. Vehicles of the three main companies are identified by a yellow sign on the roof, but many local car owners also work as taxi drivers. They have a cardboard sign on the windscreen (and tend to be cheaper than radio taxis). Most trips to destinations in Hanga Roa should cost no more than 3,000 pesos (rates are lower for residents), but after 8 or 9 pm the price generally goes up to 5,000.
