Antigua Airport Transfers List

Here is a list of destinations that are common for people searching to get transport from Antigua Airport (ANU) to the resorts.

Are taxis expensive in Antigua?

When speaking about the price of taxis relatively, globally they are not expensive. There is a false notion that Caribbean nations should be cheap. The reality is that importing everything makes the Caribbean expensive for anything imported. Vehicles attract a 100% import duty that taxi companies need to account for. And so it goes. Do note that transfer services tend to work out more expensive than taxis but you get a private ride and are met at the arrivals area and also the standard of vehicle ergo comfort is better and you direct to your resort.

Getting Around Antigua

There are some local busses which are less than $2 per person. They run to poor timetables and are not comfortable but you can for sure use them they are friendly like Antiguan people are. You can alternatively rent a car in Antigua which many do. Or organise the odd trip away from your resort by taxi, this can mount up but you are here just the week so to have freedom and service and a rum punch or 4 why not?
