Our flight doesn't arrive in Aruba until 10:15pm. Does anyone know if taxis are waiting at the airport that late? I tried emailing Bully and he is unavailable. We have DePalm transfers booked, but I'm thinking of canceling after reading the forum. We're staying at the Radisson so it sounds like a looong bus ride after a long day of travel.

hi jaytan
welcome to the aruba.com community forum.
YES there will be taxis lined up and waiting.
when you pick up your luggage and go thru aruba customs...you will go thru the exit doors...........taxis will be lined up to your LEFT.

Make sure you are familiar with the taxi fare.

Agree with the driver the amount you will be paying BEFORE stepping foot into the taxi.

If you are quoted a fare different from the fare sheet, ask to see the fare sheet they are required to carry by law, or move on to the next taxi in line and repeat.

Taxi fare from the airport to the Radisson for up to a maximum of 5 people is $25 with an additional charge of $3 after 11 pm, on Sunday or holidays.

Taxi drivers do not have to "post it",
but they have to "present" it,
IF requested.
