Taxis & Rideshare in Antigua and Barbuda (2026)

Antigua and Barbuda's on-demand transport scene is dominated by licensed taxis, no Grab, Uber, or other app-based fleets operate here. Taxis are plentiful at V. C. Bird International Airport, the cruise-ship pier in St. John's, outside most hotels, and along popular beaches like Dickenson Bay and English Harbour. Vehicles are clearly marked with "TX" plates and a taxi roof-light; drivers wear photo IDs. To secure a ride, you can hail one on the street, ask your hotel front desk to call, or head to the nearest taxi stand (look for small wooden kiosks marked "TAXI"). Trips are generally point-to-point; if you want a driver to wait while you sightsee or run errands, agree on a waiting time when you first meet. For most visitors, taxis are the default choice because they are the only door-to-door option available island-wide. They suit short hops between beaches, late-night returns from restaurants, and luggage-heavy airport runs. If you're staying at a resort and plan multiple outings, consider arranging a half-day or full-day "tour taxi": the same driver will shuttle you between sites and wait at each stop, sparing you the need to renegotiate fares repeatedly. Always confirm the destination and agree on the fare before setting off, meters are not used, and ask for a receipt if you need one. For current rates, use the booking widget below. Prices are typically higher than shared minibuses but lower than private car hires.
