bulldog82 Posted April 30, 2008 #1 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I have heard it repeated again and again about "negotiating" the taxi fare before you get in the taxi. So, what happens bad if you don't? If the driver demands an outrageous fee and you say "no way, here's $20", what does he do -- call the police? Just curious. Also, is the upfront negotiating a hassle? Or do you just ask "How much to Nachi Cocum?" and if you like the answer get in? Thanks all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just confirm this amount before you enter the car. Most locations are listed, the only real negotiation would be for say an island tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FL Dawg Posted April 30, 2008 #4 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Are you going to Nachi Cocum and if so when are you going? My wife and I are going on May 7 from the Carnival Holiday and are looking to split a cab if you are interested? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife and I are going on May 7 from the Carnival Holiday and are looking to split a cab if you are interested? We will be there later in the month. We have a party of 5 already, so I'm hoping we don't have any trouble getting a minivan-type taxi. Would hate to have to split us up and pay 2 fares. Nachi Cocum sounds nice for a relaxing beach day....hope it turns out that way. Have a good trip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will have no problem finding a taxi for 5, cost one way for your group will be $20 usd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I did in January. Before getting in, I just said "How much to Paradise Beach?". Then got in when it was the price I expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic City Cruiser Posted May 1, 2008 #10 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Prices are posted at the pier but even coming back when they're not posted, I've just asked before we got in and it was always what was posted at the pier. Never had any problem with a taxi driver and felt it was a fair price. Donna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkylady Posted May 12, 2008 #11 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Does anyone know the largest amt of people you can get in a van to go to the beach from pier. We will probably have to split our group into 8, since we will have 16 folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
