Taxis are plentiful in Cozumel and rates are quite inexpensive. Rates are government controlled, but you should ask what the rate is before you get in. Taxis can carry a maximum of 5 passengers and rates vary for 1-5 people; there are some Suburban model taxis which can hold up to 8. Tips are appreciated. Phone 872-0236.
Most taxis are white. If you need a taxi, flag one down and you'll have one in no time. If the taxi you flag down has passengers, he will radio your location and the next available taxi will be stop and pick you up.
Taxi at the airport is slightly difference procedure. Before you exit the airport terminal, you can buy your ticket at the window and they will give you a ticket which you present to the next available airport taxi (these are Suburbans, so plenty of room for luggage).
