How to Use a Taxi from Guam International Airport and Points to Note!

Guam is a tropical island where you can enjoy the beach all year round. Here, we have compiled how to get from Guam International Airport to your hotel by taxi, points to keep in mind, and recommended taxi companies. Since you will have luggage, you’ll want to make your transfer as easy as possible. How can you avoid getting caught up in trouble?

1. Guam International Airport Taxi Stand

After arriving at Guam International Airport, completing immigration procedures, and picking up your luggage, head to the left-hand side of the airport lobby. Beyond the sign that says “West Arrivals” is the taxi stand. From Guam International Airport to the Tumon area, where many hotels are located, is about 3 km. It takes about 15 to 20 minutes by taxi.
Before getting into a taxi at the stand, check the approximate fare. Taxi fares in Guam are metered. Upon arriving at your hotel, you should pay the metered fare plus $1 per piece of luggage placed in the trunk. The $1 per piece of luggage fee is the same for all taxi companies and is an officially set rate.

Since Guam is a U.S. territory, you will also need to add a tip, generally around 15%. For example, if the meter fare is $20 and you have 2 pieces of luggage, the total will be about $26.

2. Cautions for Taking a Taxi at the Airport

If you take a taxi from the taxi stand, it is generally safe, but some drivers can be problematic, so caution is still necessary even at the airport taxi stand. Official taxis have the company name written on the car doors, and the license plate will include “TXI.”
There are no street-hail taxis in Guam. Generally, taxis are either called in advance or taken from hotels or shopping centers. If you are using a taxi from the airport, be sure to take one from the taxi stand. If your flight arrives late at night due to various circumstances, there may not be taxis waiting. In that case, you will need to have one called, so keep that in mind.

Taxi fares must be paid in U.S. dollars. Be sure to have U.S. dollars ready before boarding. Also, some taxi companies charge an extra fee for late-night or early-morning rides. When you arrive at your destination, open the taxi door yourself—it is not automatic like in other countries.

3. Recommended Taxi Company

There is a taxi company highly trusted by residents in Guam. “Miki Taxi,” a Korean-owned taxi company in Guam, operates under the motto of safety, kindness, honesty, and cleanliness.
Because Miki Taxi partners with hotels in Guam, you can call one from the hotel lobby, and Wi-Fi is available inside the taxis. Many of their drivers also speak multiple languages. Fares are clearly stated on their website. Additionally, they offer a wide range of vehicles, from sedans to limousines, allowing you to choose based on the number of passengers or purpose.

After exiting “West Arrivals” at Guam International Airport and walking further inside, you will find the “Miki Taxi” counter—be sure to check it.

Summary

We have introduced how to use taxis at Guam International Airport. Although Guam has many shuttle buses and similar services, taxis are the most reliable mode of transportation when you are short on time or arriving late at night. Learn the correct way to use them and enjoy your trip to Guam.
