Overpriced Taxi Rides on Vieques – Consider Renting Instead The taxi app on Vieques works, but be prepared for very high prices across the island. In general, taxis here are expensive, but nighttime fares are especially extreme. For very short distances (around 3–5 km), we ended up paying as much as $40, which feels excessive and hard to justify. If you’re planning to move around frequently, especially in the evening, I would strongly recommend renting a car or a golf cart instead. It’s much more flexible and can save you a significant amount of money. Overall, the app functions fine, but the pricing situation really takes away from the experience.
