Taxis & Rideshare in Dominica - Grab, Uber & Local Taxis

## Taxi and Rideshare Options in Dominica In Dominica, traditional taxis are your primary transportation option, as international rideshare apps like Grab are not available on the island. Licensed taxis can be identified by their "H" or "HA" license plates and are readily found at the airports (Douglas-Charles and Canefield), cruise ship ports, major hotels, and designated taxi stands in Roseau and other towns. Since taxis don't use meters, it's essential to agree on the fare with your driver before starting your journey. You can arrange taxis through your hotel concierge, by calling local taxi services directly, or by approaching drivers at official taxi stands. Many drivers also offer island tour services and can be hired for half-day or full-day excursions to Dominica's natural attractions. For visitors prioritizing comfort and convenience, taxis provide door-to-door service with the added benefit of local knowledge—drivers often serve as informal guides who can share insights about the island's attractions, restaurants, and hidden gems. This makes them particularly valuable for reaching Dominica's more remote natural sites like Trafalgar Falls, Emerald Pool, or the various hiking trails. While you won't have the app-based convenience of rideshare services, establishing a relationship with a reliable driver during your stay can provide similar benefits, as many taxi operators will share their contact information for future bookings.
