Antigua and Barbuda / Taxis
Taxis are widely available in Antigua, at the airport, in town and in any of the main tourism centres including Dickenson Bay and English Harbour. If you cannot find one, just walk into the nearest hotel and they’ll call one for you. Taxis are not metered - fares are fixed – but it is still a good idea to confirm the cost of your journey before setting off. It is also probably a good idea to know whether the rate is in US$ or EC$.
