While the thought of unmetered taxis on St. Kitts and Nevis may sound unstructured, most who visit the islands find taxis relatively inexpensive and a wise option for those who will only be making short, local trips.
While taxis in St. Kitts and Nevis are unmetered, fixed rates are posted at Robert L. Bradshaw International Airport in St. Kitts, Newcastle Airport in Nevis, and at the jetties. Splitting a cab can further reduce fares, as posted rates will apply to up to 4 passengers. Rates are also listed in the tourist guide and should include information for fares from airports, major hotels, and attractions around the islands.
Many taxi drivers also double as tour guides of the islands, which can add a little flair to an otherwise ordinary ride through town. Vacationers should expect a 50 percent surcharge for late-night trips, from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. and other fare increases on Sundays, holidays, and for tours.
