Does Anyone Have A Taxi Contact in Cayo Coco area?
Save

I know there are taxis that go from Cayo Coco to Trinidad and beyond, I am looking to arrange for a taxi pick up from Cayo Coco Airport in late afternoon and drive 2ppl directly to Trinidad.

I realize there will be taxis in the Airport who can do this but I also know they are most likely going to double charge!

If anyone knows of a reliable taxi guy in the area that I can contact I would appreciate the info, pls send me a private message.

Thanks so much.

Hi,

The taxi drivers at CCC airport are as honest as all Cubans, you would not be double charged.

You should negoiate a little but you should be paying about 80 cuc.

Thanks for the info, If we can find a taxi ride at 5pm to Trinidad for $80 it would be perfect!! what do you think is our chances of this?

I'm just worried getting stranded since there isn't much around the airport other than the resorts, and the taxi guys know this...

that's why I was hoping to arrange a ride before arriving at the airport.

You can contact Pepe, who used to work at the Melia Cayo Coco. Really nice guy.

60 - 80 CUC is about right for that distance for a private taxi BUT good luck with achieving it. We were given a no of contacts by a regular here and after arriving independently to Cayo Coco we wanted to then travel to Trinidad a few days later. We contacted all of the recommended drivers and the cheapest price was 125CUC. In the end the best my husband could achieve via a driver we found in the hotel car park - and he is a very good negotiator - was 85 or so CUC for a yellow "government" Agencia de Cuba Taxi. So it looks like that route is becoming as inflated as the Varadero-Havana one.

HKarina, RocketJDawg,

Thank you for your info, I have a feeling it's going to be tough to find a reasonable $90-100 taxi ride to Trinidad at those hours... May get lucky, but but most likely its not going to happen.

I will contact Pepe, hopefully he can arrange something...

Thanks again, and if anyone else has a contact I can try, pls let me know.

Cheers
