Useful Tips

Not all taxis in Fort Myers accept card payments, so double-check with your driver or pre-book your trip, so you can pre-pay online.
If you don't pre-book your transfer and the operator you'll choose uses a taximeter to calculate the fare, make sure that it's turned on and reset to the base fare at the start of the ride.
Tip your driver around 10% - 15% as that’s pretty standard - especially for longer routes.
