| By Taxi: | |
| Typical Costs: | To Caracas City: VEB 150-200/35-65 mins possibly more in heavy traffic. |
| Warning: | You may be approached by ‘taxi drivers’ inside the intl terminal who offer you a ride to Caracas for less than the official fare, but this should be viewed with suspicion. Their taxis are usually not in the regular taxi line, but are parked elsewhere. Some of these drivers are honest, but there may be some who mug you in the middle of nowhere. Note: The official airport taxis are black SUVs with a yellow sticker on the front doors. |
| Notes from a traveller June 2006: | I recently made a trip through Venezuela. Upon my arrival into the terminal, I was immediately approached by a guy with a large yellow official looking ID badge hanging around his neck that said Taxi. I thought this was the guy who arranged for taxis locally. As it turns out, he did have something to do with it, but he was on the take with some non-official taxi guy. I was taken to the lower level of the terminal where some guy (who was not in the taxi line) showed up in a beat up Chevy Malibu. The official taxi guy insisted this was an okay taxi to take while standing there with his palm in the open position. I wondered about the financial arrangement with the cab driver, but being on the take isn't anything unusual. After I got in the cab, my cab was immediately "commandeered" by a local airport policeman who was getting off shift and wanted a ride to an area near where I was going. I wasn't given the option of booting him out. We delivered him to a part of town I would never go in. After I arrived at the hotel, I was charged an extra 10 dollars because we had to go out of our way to take the cop home. Typical third world b.s..... |
| Notes from a traveller November 2009: | I would give a strong warning on using the public bus from Parque Central to the airport, especially for foreign people who could be easy targets. Caracas has become a very unsafe city. I am Venezuelan and I do some travel so I have plenty of experience. |
