Oranjestad Taxi Fares Explained
In Oranjestad, taxis run on government-fixed zone fares rather than meters. A ride from Queen Beatrix International Airport (AUA) into Oranjestad is a set zone fare, and Oranjestad to Palm Beach or Eagle Beach has its own fixed published rate.
Official fares are for 1–4 passengers; extra passengers and extra luggage cost more, and a minimum fare applies to any trip.
A flat surcharge applies on Sundays, public holidays, daily from 11:00 PM to 7:00 AM, and December 24 through January 1.
The fare system is regulated by the Government of Aruba, with current rates published at taxi.aw; drivers must display a QR code linking to that list. Payment is normally in US dollars or Aruban florins, and cash is the practical choice.
