No Uber or Lyft, but there are regular taxis that can take you to anywhere you'd like to go. The taxi fares are based on destination and the charge is per person each way. The safari is actually a $1/$2 ride depending on where you get on or off.

No, Uber is not currently available in the U.S. Virgin Islands (St. Thomas, St. Croix, or St. John) as of early 2026. Instead, the islands rely on a robust network of independent taxis and local rideshare alternatives. On St. Croix, a popular app-based service called VI Hail operates similarly to Uber, offering on-demand rides and cashless payments. In St. Thomas and St. John, traditional taxis are the primary way to get around; these are often multi-passenger open-air "safari" trucks that charge flat rates per person based on the destination rather than using a meter. While the lack of Uber can be surprising to mainland visitors, the local taxi associations are well-organized, with stands at the airports and major resorts. For 2026, it is highly recommended to carry some cash (USD) for taxi fares, as many independent drivers do not yet accept credit cards or digital wallets.
