Taxis & Rideshare in Suva - Grab, Uber & Local Taxis

## Taxi and Rideshare Options in Suva Traditional taxis are the primary on-demand transportation option in Suva, as international rideshare apps like Grab are not currently available in Fiji's capital. Licensed taxis are readily identifiable by their distinctive markings and can be found at designated taxi stands throughout the city, particularly near major hotels, the bus station, and popular tourist areas. You can also hail taxis on the street or arrange pickup through your hotel. Most taxis use meters, though it's advisable to confirm the driver will use the meter before starting your journey, or agree on a fare for longer trips outside the city center. For current rates and to compare options, check the booking widget below. When choosing taxi services in Suva, consider your specific needs: taxis offer door-to-door convenience and are particularly useful when traveling with luggage, heading to areas not well-served by buses, or traveling after dark when public transportation is limited. They're also the comfort option for airport transfers and trips to attractions outside central Suva. For the most reliable service, ask your hotel to call a reputable taxi company, or use established taxi stands rather than unmarked vehicles. Since rideshare apps aren't available, having your destination written down or a map ready can help communicate with drivers, and carrying smaller bills makes payment easier as change can sometimes be limited.

{'tip': "Always insist on using the meter before starting your journey, as metered fares are regulated in Suva. If a driver refuses to use the meter, it's best to find another taxi."}

{'tip': 'Use licensed taxis identifiable by their official markings and registration numbers displayed inside the vehicle. Avoid unmarked or unofficial vehicles, especially at night.'}

{'tip': 'Solo travelers should sit in the back seat and share their trip details or taxi registration number with someone they trust. Keep your phone charged and accessible throughout the journey.'}

{'tip': 'For added security, consider using ride-hailing apps where available in Suva, as these provide trip tracking, driver details, and digital payment options that create an automatic record of your journey.'}
