Private Taxi or Car Rental—What’s Better?

For most trips, private taxis win on convenience and price: no deposit, fuel lines, or hidden costs. For long multi-day driving, a rental can make sense—but for airport transfers and intercity rides, taxis are simpler and often cheaper. Get a professional driver who knows the best way to travel in Cuba. Come to enjoy, not to drive.
