Tips about taxi service in Caracas

First don't tell to a taxi driver it is your first visit here. Another thing you must know is to negotiate the fare in advance, most city trips are 1 $ absolute minimum during the day, most fares are 2 $. Taxi drivers are authorized to charge an extra 20 % on night trips after 6 pm, on Sundays and hollydays, and 0.45 $ for answering telephone calls. After 6 pm drivers are selective about destinations, so beware of taxi drivers trying to renegotiate the fixed rate because your destination is in "a difficult area".
