Taxis & airport transfers in Curaçao

A taxi or transfer is useful for arriving at your accommodation, heading out for dinner or enjoying a day without driving. Agree the practical details before you set off.

Finding a taxi on Curaçao

Official taxis have TX on their number plates. At Hato airport, use the designated taxi area outside Arrivals. Your accommodation can help arrange a ride, or you can book through a local taxi service.

What will the ride cost?

Taxis generally use destination-based fares rather than meters. Confirm the total price and currency before departure. State your passenger count, luggage and any extra stops, and ask whether waiting or a late pickup changes the price. Clarify whether the quote covers one way or a return trip.

Booking an airport transfer

Give your flight number, arrival date, accommodation address and a working contact number. Ask where the driver will meet you and what happens if your flight is delayed. A private transfer is for your party; a shared transfer may include waiting and stops at other accommodations.

For your flight home, agree the pickup time around the arrival time recommended by your airline, allowing extra time for traffic.

Plan the return journey too

For a remote beach or an evening out, arrange a pickup location and time before leaving. Save the contact details and send a map pin if the entrance is difficult to find. When comparing transport costs for a beach day, include both journeys and any waiting time.

Children, luggage and accessibility

Request a suitable child seat when booking and give the age and size of the child. Mention large suitcases, a stroller or wheelchair. If you need step-free boarding or to remain in your wheelchair, confirm a suitable vehicle explicitly.
