Taxi

Taxi

Taxis are the most convenient way to travel around Lima. Although finding a cab will not be hard, there are a few things to keep in mind before hopping into one. Many taxis in Lima are unregulated, so when offered or hailing a cab, first check if they are yellow or have checkers on the side. Keep an eye out for a license number painted on the side of the vehicle, as well as a SETAME sticker on the windscreen. Official taxis can be found at taxi stands or be called by phone. Rush hours, Sundays, public holidays, early mornings and late at night tend to be more pricey. Also, since they don't have taximeters, fares should ALWAYS be negotiated beforehand. For a more reliable mode of transportation around the city, consider ordering a ride on the Uber app.
