SXM TAXI

Wow, this app saved me from being stranded. This island is very hectic, so everyone seems to be on a ride, or having a direct line to taxi drivers is a total game-changer. The network they have is fully reliable, so they work with responsible, licensed drivers.

I just wasted 10 minutes with this app trying to enter a location for which it doesn’t have an address and I’m just stuck in this loop where it asked to tap the location then to continue and then goes back to the same place and asked you to tap on the location. Hopefully, they can debug this, because currently it’s unusable

Sint Maarten banned Uber & other legit ride-share apps. Now they come up with this app. Where Uber let's you ride for about half the price of a regular Taxi in most of the world where they operate, this app let's you ride for about double the price. And beware, taxi prices on the island are ridiculously expensive to begin with. So, since there are taxis everywhere on the island, why bother going through an app that wants to charge double the already high rates. This app seems like a trap for tourists who don't know better. My advice on this island is to try and take the buses since they are a real bargain but do not run late or on a regular schedule. Otherwise, if you get lucky, you befriend a cool taxi driver who works within your budget. There are also many gypsy drivers but not always reliable and lately, some ask as much as the taxis. But some offer fair deals. Good luck. The people of this island are great but the whole transportation issue is a mess and you could end up spending half your vacation sitting in traffic because of the transport mess...(too many cars and few reliable or affordable alternative means of transport). Also, beware, most taxis don't accept credit cards.
