Safety Tips
Look for the official yellow license plate and roof light; Kingstown taxis without both are likely unlicensed.
Meters are not standard, agree on the fare before you start the trip or use the in-app fare shown on local rideshare apps like Drop or local Uber.
Locals rely on Drop and regional Uber. Download and set up accounts before you arrive to avoid hing on cash-only street taxis.
For night or solo rides, sit in the back, share your live trip status via Drop or Uber, and ask the driver to confirm your name before entering.
Common Scams to Avoid
Drivers refusing to use the meter and quoting inflated flat rates, from cruise-ship docks and the ferry terminal, insist on the meter or agree a fare before entering the taxi.
Taking unnecessarily long detours through back roads when the direct waterfront route is obvious. Track your route on a map app and politely point out shorter alternatives.
Claiming the published fare is 'per person' rather than per ride for shared taxis or minibuses. Confirm the total vehicle price before boarding and clarify with other passengers if needed.
