How to get a taxi in Grenada
There are taxis readily available around the island’s main tourism hubs, such as popular beaches and the main city centre. They tend to be minibuses but they don’t have a uniform colour. This is because they are run by privately owned taxi and tour companies. In more rural locations or late nights, it’ll be difficult to find a taxi, so booking in advance is recommended.
You can also call a local taxi number to request a pickup. Some of the more reliable providers you can call are the following:
Grenada Taxis: +1 (473) 417 5710
Selo’s Taxi: +1 (473) 444 3196
Amazing Grenada Taxis: +1 (473) 533 8405
Finally, if you staying at one of the major hotels, they will have a list of trusted taxis they recommend and they can even arrange a cab on your behalf.
