If you just want to make the odd excursion or short trip, it can be cheaper to hire taxis , identifiable by the H on their number plates and easy to find in St John's, Nelson's Dockyard or at the airport. Elsewhere you'll often need to call or ask your hotel to arrange for one. Try West Bus Station Taxis (tel 268/462-5190) or Antigua Reliable (tel 268/460-5353). Fares are regulated but there are no meters, so be sure to agree on a price before you get into the car.
