Taxi fares are fixed by the government at $2.20 for the first 1/4 mile, then 30 cents for each 1/4 mile at last count. There is an additional 30 cents for each additional 1/4 mile. A year ago to get to PI, for example, it was about about $20 for two people. Hint: discuss the price in advance before putting luggage on the taxi; the little kids may pick up your luggage and load it before you know it. If it's a reputable taxi that's licensed, no problem, and tip the kids who "help" you...they need the money. Watch out for Haitians who run unlicensed taxis; they sometimes charge way out of the customary and government set taxi prices. Whatever the licensed taxi driver charges you, tip him/her 15% on top of that. Robert

Just got back last night. Taxi ride from airport to Atlantis was about $35 for three people, plus we had lots of luggage since we were bringing in some equipment for a convention. On the way back to the airport the hotel doorman put two couples in the same cab (the cabs we rode were large van type cabs). The driver charged each couple the same $27 so he was probably double dipping but it cost us the same price regardless and the service was quick and good.
