Car
Driving is on the right side of the road. At intersections and traffic circles yield to traffic coming from your right unless signs indicate otherwise. At all T-crossing through traffic has priority. The speed limit is 45 km/hour in town and residential areas and 60-80km/hour outside the city and on the four lane Ring Road.
By Taxi
Taxis are easily identified by their sign and/or the letters TX on the license plate. There are taxi stands at the airport, in Punda and Otrobanda, and outside major hotels. Taxis have no meters, but fares are standard; confirm these before departure. Expect to pay about US$ 10.00 from the airport to town, US$ 12.00-15.00 to hotels and US$ 8.00 from Otrobanda to Punda. Fares are based on 1 to 4 persons, with a 25% surcharge for a fifth passenger and/or after 11:00 pm, and a US$ 2.00 fee if excess baggage prevents the trunk from closing. Tipping, while not obligatory, is usually 10% of the fare. You can rent a taxi for sightseeing for about US$ 20.00 per hour. To get a taxi, call 869 07 47.
