The Extra Resort Taxi Fee: Why Taxis Booked From Reception Are More Expensive?

When booking a taxi through your resort’s reception, it’s important to know that most resorts have contracts with specific taxi companies. This means the rates you’ll be charged are often higher than what you’d pay by booking directly. While you’re free to use any taxi company to travel to and from your resort, booking directly can lead to significant savings.

Denarau Island

For example, Denarau Island has its own taxi company called Denarau Taxi, which serves the entire island and mainland. They’re the only taxis in the area unless you book directly with another company. As our travel manager, Robin, always says, “Booking direct is the way to go for the best deals!”

How Much is the Resort Taxi Fee in Fiji?

To give you an idea of the potential savings, the prices mentioned below are typically what you’d pay when booking directly. If you book through your hotel reception, expect to add FJ$10-$15 to these rates. It’s a difference that can really add up over your stay!
