An airport taxi is ideal for travelers looking for direct transport with no walking who haven't booked in advance.

Useful Tips

Avoid individuals offering "cheap" rides to tourists in the parking lot, and only take a taxi from the official taxi rank.

Most Belize Airport taxis are cash only, so it's best to stop by an ATM or currency exchange office at the airport.

Tipping your driver 10% to 15% of the total fare is common in Belize.

Wheelchair accessible taxis aren't available on demand at the airport, so make sure to plan your transportation with a specialized operator.
