About this route

From St. Barth airport to Lurin, what to expect

Lurin is a quiet hillside neighborhood above Gustavia, on the road toward Gouverneur beach. It is known for villas with harbor and sunset views, and for the Shellona restaurant nearby.

From the moment we step out of the SBH terminal, Lurin is roughly 10 minutes away. The standard fare, before midnight, hovers around 50 euros. After midnight the surcharge is 20 euros, but very few drivers operate that late so we always pre-book in that case.

Pro tip from us: once you have ridden with a driver you like, save their number. Calling someone you have already met is faster than going through the stand, especially after 6:30pm when most cars switch to standby work for restaurants.

FAQ

Common questions about this route

Are taxis available at night and on Sundays for this route?

They are, but the number of cars on the road drops sharply after 8pm and on Sundays. Most drivers switch to restaurant standby in the evening. Booking ahead is the safer move.

What is the taxi fare from SBH to Lurin?

Can the same driver pick us up for the return trip?

Often yes. Once you have ridden with someone you trust, save their number. We do this all the time for round-trip transfers. Most drivers appreciate the repeat business and will block off the time for you.

What if no taxi is waiting when we land at SBH?

If the airport stand is empty, do not panic. Call any driver from our directory or message us on WhatsApp. We will contact the drivers closest to you. The taxis you sometimes see lined up at arrivals are often pre-booked already, so always ask before getting in.
