St Maarten-St Martin

Taxi from Princess Juliana International Airport to Philipsburg

Fare, 1–2 passengers USD 20
Typical drive 23 min
Usual range 24–28 min

Philipsburg is the Dutch-side capital and the island's busiest destination by some distance, so this is the transfer most arrivals ask about. The run crosses the Simpson Bay bridge, which is the one thing that can turn a predictable trip into a long one.

About 23 minutes in normal traffic, usually 24–28. Allow about 5 minutes more right now.

This trip crosses the Simpson Bay bridge. When it opens for boats the road stops completely, which can add fifteen minutes or more. Worth allowing for if you are heading to a flight.

Good to know

The published fare covers one or two passengers for the whole trip, not per person. If a cruise ship is in and you are heading for Front Street, allow extra: the same road carries the port traffic.
