Collective and private taxis

How to Get Around in Cuba? – The Essentials

Here are three commonly used modes of transportation for traveling in Cuba :

  1. Viazul Buses –> https://viazul.wetransp.com/
  2. Collective Taxis
  3. Private Taxis

Shared taxis in Cuba are a good alternative to buses.

While more expensive, they are also more convenient, eliminating the need to travel to the bus station (which, in Havana for example, is far from the city center) and ensures a considerable time saving. For example, the Havana to Viñales journey takes 2.5 hours by taxi, compared to 5.5 hours by bus.

Your driver will pick you up at the address you provide beforehand and drop you off at your accommodation in your destination city.

You can book them directly here on our website.

Additional information:

  • For long journeys (e.g., Viñales ↔ Trinidad, Cienfuegos, Varadero, Playa Larga, and vice versa), a driver and vehicle change is scheduled on the outskirts of Havana. This is standard procedure to allow drivers to return home.
  • Payment for the transfer is made directly to the driver upon departure. Rest assured, this is a perfectly normal procedure.
  • For optimal organization, please book your transfer 48 hours in advance. Given the unpredictable nature of internet and network connectivity in Cuba, a 36 to 48-hour lead time is ideal to coordinate everything and confirm your trip smoothly. Please note: Last-minute bookings (less than 24h) are possible, but we might not receive your message or be able to confirm in time. Also, seat availability in collective taxis can no longer be guaranteed. First come, first served! Plan ahead to travel stress-free.
  • Daytime fare: 25€, (for one to four people).

  • Nighttime fare: 30€, (for one to four people).

Así es como funciona una dirección en Cuba: siempre habrá una calle principal donde se encuentra la casa y dos calles perpendiculares entre las cuales está ubicada su casa
