Does Aruba have a taxi app?

Aruba Taxi 4+ Welcome to the One Happy Island of Aruba! How to use APP (Make sure your mobile data, GPS and Location Services are on): *After you open the application, the application will automatically detect your location pin point accuracy and fill the pick-up location.



Aruba does not have global ridesharing apps like Uber or Lyft, but in 2026, it has its own local solution called the Aruba Taxi App. This app connects passengers directly with government-approved, licensed taxi drivers across the "One Happy Island." The app works similarly to Uber, allowing you to set a destination, see a real-time map of your driver’s approach, and communicate via in-app chat. There is a $4 convenience fee added to the government-regulated fare for using the app. Unlike apps in other countries, taxi fares in Aruba are fixed based on the destination, not metered by distance. Since the official rate list expired in 2022, it is highly recommended to confirm the final fare with the driver before the ride begins. Payments can be made in cash (USD or Aruban Florins) or through the app if you have a card linked. For those who prefer not to use the app, taxis are easily found at "Taxi Stands" at the airport and all major resorts, or you can simply ask your hotel concierge to call a "dispatch" for you.
