All taxi drivers
should carry a rate card with approved fares set by the Taxi Commission.
Taxis have no meters and charge by zone. Roundtrip fares are double.
There is also a charge for baggage and waiting time. Most will take
you on an island tour ranging from US$30-$45 for up to 2 people, US$12
per person for additional passengers. Don't get in a vehicle that doesn't
have "TP" on the license plate and a dome light above the taxi because,
without those, it is not an authorized taxi. The following are some
