Your ride options in Saint Lucia
Locally-owned app covering the island from Gros Islet to Vieux Fort. Upfront fares, licensed local drivers, pay by card or cash, schedule airport runs in advance, and sign up with an overseas number before you land.
Uber Taxi
Connects you with licensed taxis. Availability can thin out at peak times and outside the north of the island.
Traditional taxis
Reliable and everywhere, but unmetered — always agree the fare before you set off.
Minibuses
The cheapest option and how most locals travel — but no fixed schedule and limited luggage room.
Why visitors choose a local app like Horizon
- Upfront price — see the fare before you book. No negotiating at the kerb.
- Island-wide — works for Soufrière, Marigot Bay and resort runs, not just the north.
- Safety built in — live trip sharing, an SOS button, and PIN-verified pickups.
- Sign up before you arrive — register with your home number and book your Hewanorra (UVF) pickup the moment you land.
How much does a ride cost?
Fares depend on distance, time and demand — Horizon shows the exact price upfront, so there are no surprises. Hewanorra is roughly a 1.5-hour drive from the northern resort strip, so for airport transfers it's worth scheduling in advance to lock in a guaranteed pickup and price.
The bottom line
There is Uber in Saint Lucia now — but for upfront pricing, island-wide coverage and a locally-owned service that keeps fares and driver earnings on-island, most visitors do best with Horizon Rides.
