The cabs are metered and an additional 40% surcharge will be added to your fare when travelling between the hours of 9:00 pm and 7:00 am, every day. If the cab is not metered, ensure that you have agreed on a fare with the driver prior to leaving. And, your driver may or may not be fully conversant with English so write your destination on a piece of paper for ease of travel. Photo Credit: Guadeloupe Islands Tourist Board
