Taxi Gustavia to Lurin

Q: Where do we find a taxi in Gustavia?

The main stand is on rue de la Republique near the tourist office, opposite the harbor. We rarely use it as our first option — calling a driver directly or messaging our WhatsApp concierge usually gets a car faster.

About this route

From Gustavia to Lurin, our take

From Gustavia to Lurin is a quick 5-minute climb up the hill toward Gouverneur. Lurin is known for its villas, its sunset views, and the Santa Fe and Shellona restaurants.

Out of Gustavia, we count around 30 euros for this ride during the day, plus 5 euros after 6:30pm or on Sundays, and 10 euros between midnight and 6am. The drive itself takes about 5 minutes when traffic flows. Friday afternoons and Sunday brunch hours can slow things down a little.

A note on timing: December to April is intense. For Christmas and New Year week, hotel transfers get pre-booked weeks ahead. If you are flying in then, lock in a driver before you leave home, not when you land.
