Taxi cost

[bguppies]

I've read repeatedly that the taxis into town cost $3 one way and $2 the other. (I forget which is there and which is back)

 

But I've never seen mentioned if the cost is per person or per cab.

(Cozumel is for up to 4 people)

 

Just trying to lock down the budget for our group.

 

Thanks in advance.

$3 bucks per person into town on the port's shuttle buses. Really small kids ride free but not sure the age on that. Stops 2-4 are in the center of the downtown beach. Nice big buses, so they are good for large groups, you have to wait until they fill and they make several stops so they can take up more of your day. No taxis inside the port and if you ask, you will be directed to the buses. Just ask for the exit. An official taxi stand is located about 100 yards from the only port exit. You can see the stand from the exit and it is along a nice, clean commercial area. Taxis are $2 per person and will drop you at any specific location. Port shuttles are easy but slow, taxis are fast but located outside the port. Taxis are the only return transportation and they charge $2 per person on the return as well. They are located all over the downtown so you have no trouble or wait when you are ready to leave. Have correct change if you take the taxis. They never seem to have it???

It's a little different than most ports where you go outside the port and just grab a cab and pay to go. You go to the stand and purchase a ticket and that gets you on the bus. Coming back is simple. There are cabs everywhere and where ever you decide to go, they can call you a cab as well.

Thanks guys...

 

I figured it was going to be per person for $5 round trip...

 

Can't wait to finally get to experience Costa Maya.

 

Since Costa Maya got destroyed by the hurricane a week before our Glory cruise there, the first week of September 2007.

Cozumel wasn't bad...

 

$16 for up to four people from pier to Nachi Cocum. (which is farther than to Mahjuhual)

 

So $4 per person each way,$8 round trip versus $5 round trip...

 

Now Roatan with their unregulated taxis, THAT is an adventure.
