Taxis & Rideshare in Port-au-Prince (2026) - Grab, Uber & More

Port-au-Prince relies almost entirely on local taxis for point-to-point rides. There is no Grab or other international rideshare platform operating in the city. Taxis are plentiful at the airport, outside major hotels, and along busy downtown streets. But they are rarely marked with a company logo or roof light. Instead, look for sedans with a red license plate and a small "Taxi" placard in the windshield. Hailing is done by simply raising your hand. Drivers will stop if they have space. Fares are negotiated before you get in, state your destination, agree on a price, and confirm the currency (Haitian gourde or U.S. dollars). Most drivers speak basic French or Haitian Creole, so having your destination written down or shown on a map app helps avoid confusion. For comfort and reliability, hotel or restaurant staff can call a trusted driver who will meet you at the door. This is the preferred option after dark or when carrying luggage. If you need flexibility during the day, street taxis are convenient for short hops around Pétion-Ville or downtown. But expect to share the ride if the driver picks up additional passengers. There is no app-based booking, so keep the driver's phone number if you plan to make multiple stops. Always check current rates in the booking widget below before negotiating, and carry small bills to simplify payment.
