About Taxi's In Curacao
To ensure a safe and pleasant trip, make sure always to solicit the service of a licensed driver. There are 200 licensed drivers and 85 official ‘assistant drivers’ on the island issued by our local government. To obtain a taxi or even an ‘assistant driver’ license, one must comply with set governmental regulations and obtain several certificates to ensure a level of service. Therefore, we recommend avoiding taking unlicensed taxis on the island as they operate illegally and are difficult to trace back. The official taxis can be identified by their number plate, starting with the Prefixes TX followed by the taxi number.

Taxi Fares
The local Curacao taxis are unmetered. The Ministry of Economic Development has settled and printed an official rate sheet that each driver has to carry, there are fixed prices for some Curacao taxi journeys, such as a ride from the airport to Willemstad (Punda) for $40 (ANG 72), or a ride from the city to the northwestern side of the island for $90 (ANG 160).
It’s also worth noting that if you’re travelling at night (23:00 to 06:00), or with more than 4 passengers, the driver will add 25% to your final fare.
