Can I take a taxi from the airport to my hotel, villa, or resort?
You can absolutely take a taxi. While rental cars are convenient for people who already know the island or who plan to be on the go all day, every day, they aren't for everyone, especially with our rocky terrain. As such, the island is home to many taxi services- which makes it easy to get from either of our airports to your destination- no matter where on the island you decide to make your home away from home.
Is it possible to have a taxi waiting when I arrive at the airport?
Absolutely! By booking in advance with a reputable taxi service, you can ensure that there is a driver waiting with a sign bearing your name when you arrive at either of our airports.
I don't want to use a rental car, but I hear that St Lucia taxi cabs are not metered. What advice would you offer someone seeking a St Lucia taxi rental?
It is true that taxis are not metered here on the island, which can cost travelers big bucks if they are not careful. Not all of our taxi services are costly or looking to make an extra buck from unsuspecting travelers, of course, but to avoid this, you want to phone ahead and book a taxi to your destination from a company that offers a flat and reasonable fee while also having licensed, credentialed drivers and safe, reliable vehicles. The best advice is simply to find a good company and book in advance. It can not only save you money and stress, but a great deal of time and hassle upon arrival, too.
What are the best taxi companies at the airports in St Lucia?
While you have many options when it comes to St Lucia taxi service, there are certainly companies that stand apart from the pack. St Lucia Airport Shuttle and St Lucia Taxi Service are both designed to meet your needs affordably while providing comfort and safety. Both companies service both George F.L. Charles and Hewanorra International airports, and both companies, when booked in advance, will make sure that your driver is ready and waiting to help with your luggage as soon as you clear customs.
Is it possible to do photography stops or even perhaps to take a tour of the island on the taxi ride from the airport to the resort?
While the answer to this depends solely on the taxi company that you choose, both of the companies mentioned above do offer this service. With either company, when you book your ride from the airport you can request that you be able to stop for photos or book a scenic tour of the island on your ride back to your villa, hotel, or resort.
What about a helicopter transfer from Hewanorra International Airport to my hotel or resort?

Yes. Unless you are coming from a local island, you will find that a passport is required in order to visit the island of St Lucia.
