Getting Around by Road

Traffic drives on the right.

Bus: A good public bus service runs throughout the island and many of the main hotels provide their own minibus services to Willemstad.

Taxi: In good supply and recognisable by their signs and also the letters TX on registration plates. Taxis have no meters but fares are standard and are based on one to four people with a 25% surcharge for a fifth passenger and/or after 2300. Always agree prices in advance. Tipping, while not obligatory, is usually about 10% of the fare. New tuk-tuk mini-taxis (motorised rickshaws) are available in Willemstad from Sinustra taxi association; some hotels offer them for free to their guests.

Car hire:
International and local firms are located at the airport and in the main hotels, as well as in the capital.

Documentation:
An International Driving Permit is required.
