Fort Myers Taxi Fares

Taxis in Fort Myers are a reliable transportation option that both locals and tourists prefer to be able to move around quickly and comfortably. The fares can differ among Fort Myers beach taxi service providers but the state regulates them to avoid unreasonably high prices. In the downtown area, you’re more likely to come across providers that use taximeters to calculate the fare based on the total distance driven.

Avg. Base fare – $3 (€2.80)
Avg. Rate/1st km – $5 (€4.65)
Avg. Rate after 1st km – $2 (€1.85)

Other providers, such as Fort Myers Airport taxis, define their fares based on zones instead of using a taximeter. The further you move from the airport the higher the fare gets, ranging from $10 (€9.30) to $140 (€130). Keep in mind that there can be additional charges like baggage fees or an extra fee for each additional passenger if there are more than 3 passengers in total.
