# hotel transfer? Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Vanuatu
jasmine888 02:11 UTC 21 Nov 2008 | hi again another question... i notice most of the accomodations offer airport transfers, i also notice that they are quite expensive when they are not that far away form the airport? What im wondering is, is it easy to get a cab from the airport? and would that work out cheaper then the huge like $30 transfers (that charge per person!) thanks! |
yehyeh 10:53 UTC 22 Nov 2008 | Definately, taxis are cheap in Port Vila. The only problem is that you may not have vatu with you to pay the cabbie. When we arrived at the airport the ATM was out of order so could only get vatu at the ANZ ATM in town. | 1

trav 15:05 UTC 19 Feb 2009 | The taxi fare is likely to be 1500-2000 VT to most resorts. Anticipate about 1500 if they're in town (eg: Melanesian) and 2000 if they're a bit further out (eg: Poppys). | 3
