I've heard that St. Lucia taxi services don't have a meter, and I'm worried about being overcharged. Are St. Lucia taxi rates expensive?
It does come as a surprise that our taxis don't have meters, which can lead to some unpleasant surprises at your destination! The best way to avoid this is to book your taxis in advance from a company that will give you a rate before the journey. It's not that companies are trying to rip you off, or that St. Lucia taxi fares are exorbitant, but pre-booking your cab at a fixed rate means that you won't get any shocks along with the bill.
Can you recommend a reputable St. Lucia airport taxi company?
There are plenty of good St. Lucia taxi services, but two that come particularly highly recommended are St. Lucia Taxi Service and St. Lucia Airport Shuttle. You can pre-book a cab to meet you at either airport or take you there for your flight home. Having a driver waiting to meet you and assist with your baggage will certainly get your stay off to the perfect start.
If I get a St. Lucia airport taxi, can I ask the taxi driver to stop on the way so I can take photos?
St. Lucia is so photogenic that some visitors just can't wait to start snapping away! The two taxi companies named earlier do provide a "photo stop" service, so when you make your booking simply mention that you'd like to stop on the way for photos. You can even request a scenic tour en route to your destination if you book in advance. Ensure you check that St. Lucia taxi fares take account of stop requests.

Hewanorra International Airport does have helicopter facilities, though not all resorts do. If yours can handle helicopter transfers, you're guaranteed fantastic views and a memorable introduction to the island!
