----- I don't think so but some may think so. Now you might not get a real limo. Just a personal van type cab.
>>>> "Taxis are no problem"
----- Ditto. Many are always waiting.

thanks for the replies. We decided a taxi will do. Not taking a chance of paying all that $$ and wind up in a van.

I think that's wise.

We use the same taxi driver for all our transporation. He is native Aruban, friendly, knowledgable, dependable and always on time. http://bloggingtoaruba.typepad.com/m...uban-taxi.html

After a long day of travel, there was nothing like exiting Aruba Customs this trip with a warm, welcoming face on the other side of the glass waiting to greet us personally.

How does someone contact and make arrangements with Bully? What is his prices, is it a limo service or a taxi service? Do they charge per trip or per person?

Bully has a van and can be reached at 593 7520
bullytaxi79@hotmail.com


Prices are standard what any taxi would charge, as fees set by the government. http://taxiaruba.com/new/farelist.html

From the airport:
Low-rise hotels $17 each way per car (NOT per person)
High-reise hotels $20 each way per car (NOT per person)

Extra bags and such see http://taxiaruba.com/new/policy.html

Though his nickname is Bully, the return email will be from "Amador Lacle", he really is a teddy bear!

Thank you for the info, Bully was quick to response.

What do you typically tip taxi drivers?

Do you tip Bus drivers?

You are welcome! I am happy to hear that Bully was so quick to respond.

We have always been told that for taxi drivers tips were included in the fare. With this said though we like to tip at least $1 per bag/suitcase. My brother tipped him $10 for 4 suitcases, a set of golf clubs and 4 carry ons.

All in all I would have to say tip what you feel most comfortable in giving.

I am not sure about tipping bus drivers, but would think it is not necessary.
