Curacao Airport Taxi Price
Local Curacao Airport taxi drivers charge fixed rates to certain destinations across the island, with an additional 25% surcharge added to nighttime rides (23:00 – 06:00) and each additional passenger when you have more than four people in your group.
Drivers often operate independently, so whilst Curacao Airport taxi rates are supposed to be set by the local government, you might find they vary between companies. As a guide, you can expect to pay €32.50 (ANG 63) for a taxi from Curacao Airport to Willemstad with four passengers, or €64.70 (ANG 125.80) if you’re staying in the Santa Barbara area. Alternatively, if you plan on visiting the northern part of the island to somewhere near Porto Marie, the cost should be about €46.20 (ANG 89.90).

Where to catch an Airport Taxi in Curacao
The designated Curacao Airport taxi rank is located on the ground floor, to the left as you exit the Arrivals Hall. Keep walking around the side of the building until you see the line of taxis lined up waiting.
Keep in mind that the number of taxi drivers allowed to operate on the island is capped by the local government, which means during the busy holiday season, wait times can be quite lengthy. If you want to secure a guaranteed on-time airport meet-and-greet service with a friendly driver, we recommend booking your ride in advance with Welcome.

A Curacao Airport taxi to your hotel
Although the local Curacao airport taxi drivers are available 24/7, not all drivers speak English which can add some uncertainty and stress to your journey. On the other hand, catching the local bus can be a challenge due to luggage restrictions and not knowing where exactly you’ll be dropped off.
If you pre-book your airport taxi in Curacao, you can enjoy a door-to-door trip with an English-speaking driver, 24/7 customer support, and unbeatable set-rate prices. Vehicles are spacious and comfortable, so you can simply sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride.
