Need a quick, easy ride from Honolulu Airport or around Waikīkī? Here’s everything you need to know about catching a taxi on Oʻahu.

TheCAB is Hawaiʻi's local taxi dispatch company that serves Oʻahu islandwide.

To grab a taxi at Honolulu Airport, exit through baggage claim and cross to the center median strip. Look for the taxi stand and taxi dispatchers to arrange your ride.

Fares are metered, and a ride to Waikīkī typically costs around $40 to $60, depending on traffic. Remember, not all taxis accept credit cards, so it’s best to carry cash.

If you prefer to pay by credit card, inform the taxi dispatcher at the airport, or direct with the driver elsewhere. A 10-15% tip for drivers is customary, plus $1 per handled bag.

Taxis operate across the island of Oʻahu. In Waikīkī, the easiest way to hail a cab is by asking your hotel concierge to call one — tip them a dollar for their assistance.

For more flexibility, download the Charley’s Taxis app. Charley’s has been serving Hawaiʻi since 1938 and connects riders to a large network of professional, reliable taxi drivers.

TheCab Hawaiʻi is another taxi company with an extensive network on Oʻahu, offering reliable, islandwide service with easy booking by phone, app, or curbside hail.
