What are taxi costs, tipping practices, and payment methods?

Updated Jun 10, 2026

The answer

Travelers should bring cash for taxi fares in Aruba, as most cabs accept currency only and do not process cards. The Aruba Taxi App provides current rates and can help arrange rides. Airport transfers to resorts typically cost $30-40, though exact pricing varies by destination—for example, the Divi properties (distinguished as low-rise versus high-rise locations) fall within this range. Small bills are particularly useful for both fares and gratuities. While taxis are widely available across the island, advance planning through the app helps confirm pricing before departure.
