Fast and Reliable puts a new meaning transportation. Without them plans for trips may not be complete. I like to refer to it as the best door to door plan in the world.

Be prepared. A cab on the Island can range from a five door sedan to fifteen seat vans. They all do the same job. Here's a little insider secret. The cost for the van is the same and everyone gets a seat for them selves.

Certain day trips may require the use of a taxi since you may not want to deal with the issue of parking.

Sure enough, the long lines at the docking areas for boat trips and other similar activities would prove that taking St Maarten taxis to be a worthwhile choice.

When you call they'd show, take and return you back to your starting point. Nothing gets easier than that especially if you've got a wife who hates to drive. Shhhhh.

Tariffs are zonal in nature so you won't find a metered cab anywhere on the island and range anywhere from four to thirty US dollars.

Over the years I've become friendly with an exceptional transport guy. His name is Robert. Robert pulls up when he's supposed to. He's become a house hold name in our family.

We generally call him a couple days ahead of time so that he can pick us up at the airport. We either call him 160 or by his real name.

With his fifteen seat van he's available for Island tours and group shuttling.

Taxi man or not Robert has become a family friend and like all the islanders his honesty and dedication is hard to forget. Robert can be contacted at (001) 721 526 4617.
