Hailing a cab on the streets of Miami isn't easy. Most people drive their own cars or rent one. There are plenty of taxis queued up at the airport. To get a cab anywhere else, it's best to call ahead. At the airport, cabs are lined up outside the baggage claim area. Taxis cost $1.70 for the first quarter mile and $2.20 for each mile after that, plus $1 surcharge for trips that start at the airport. The eight-mile trip from Miami International Airport to Downtown Miami takes 20 minutes and costs about $18.
Flat-rate fares are in effect for 5 zones bound on the east by the Atlantic Ocean and on the west by the mainland. The flat- fare bands include Miami Beach, Bal Harbour, Golden Beach, and the Village of Key Biscayne. Miami Beach is in Zone 4. The 14-mile trip from the airport to Miami Beach takes 25 minutes and costs approximately $24. The fare is per trip, not per individual. A ride from the airport to Golden Beach in Zone 1 would set you back $41 (that is, if you're riding alone; the price is for each cab load).
If you encounter any problems with taxi service, you can call (305) 375-3677 to complain.
