Taxis & Rideshare in Kiribati - Grab, Uber & Local Taxis

## Taxi and Rideshare Options in Kiribati Transportation options in Kiribati are relatively limited compared to larger urban centers, with local taxis serving as the primary on-demand transport service. International rideshare platforms like Grab are not available in the country. Local taxis can typically be found at the airport, near hotels, and in the main town areas of South Tarawa. Since there's no app-based booking system, you'll need to hail taxis directly or arrange pickups through your accommodation. It's advisable to agree on the destination before starting your journey, and having your hotel or guesthouse arrange taxi service can be helpful for ensuring reliable transportation. For visitors deciding between transportation options, local taxis offer the most practical solution for point-to-point travel around South Tarawa and to the airport. They provide comfort and convenience, particularly valuable given Kiribati's tropical climate and limited public transport alternatives. Taxis are especially useful for airport transfers, visiting specific sites, or traveling with luggage.

Keep in mind that taxi availability may be more limited in outer island areas, so planning ahead is recommended when traveling beyond the main population centers.
