In 2026, taxi fares in St. Thomas are strictly regulated by the VI Taxicab Commission. If you are taking a taxi from the Crown Bay Cruise Port to Magens Bay, the official flat rate is $18.00 for a single passenger or $15.00 per person for a group of two or more. If you are departing from the Havensight (WICO) Cruise Port, the fare is slightly lower at $15.00 for one person or $12.00 per person for a group. It is important to remember that these are per-person rates, not per-vehicle, as most taxis in St. Thomas operate as shared "safari" vans. Additionally, there is a standard $3.00 per bag luggage fee for standard suitcases and a potential after-hours surcharge if traveling very late at night. Most drivers accept cash, but many now also take digital payments via QR codes or mobile apps in 2026. To avoid surprises, always confirm the "per person" total with the driver before the van departs the terminal, and look for the official tariff rate sheet which is legally required to be displayed in the vehicle.
