Taxis & Rideshare in Palau - Grab, Uber & Local Taxis

## Taxis and Rideshare in Palau Traditional taxis are the primary on-demand transportation option in Palau, as international rideshare apps like Grab are not available in the country. Taxis can typically be found at the airport, major hotels in Koror, and popular tourist areas. Since there's no meter system in most Palauan taxis, it's important to agree on the fare with your driver before starting your journey. Hotels and tour operators can help arrange reliable taxi services, and many visitors find it useful to get a local phone number to call taxi services directly or ask their accommodation to book rides for them. For travelers prioritizing convenience and comfort, taxis remain the most practical choice for point-to-point transportation around Palau's main island of Koror and to attractions like the Rock Islands. While you won't have the app-based convenience of tracking your ride or automatic payment, taxis offer the flexibility to explore at your own pace and can be hired for half-day or full-day tours to multiple sites. Many taxi drivers are knowledgeable about local attractions and can provide valuable insights during your journey. For current rates and to arrange reliable transportation, check with your hotel concierge or use the booking options available through local tour operators.
