By Taxi
Taxis are inexpensive and are often the most convenient form of transportation
in Jordan, even over substantial distances, such as a trip from Amman to Aqaba.
There are two kinds of taxis: the white-painted “service taxi’” and the yellow-painted “private taxis.” Service taxis travel according to fixed routes and are shared simultaneously by several customers. Private taxis can be taken from ranks outside hotels or hailed in the street. Taxis have meters, but these are not always used at night. It is highly advisable to agree on costs beforehand, particularly for long journeys. Tipping is not required, but it is customary to pay the nearest round figure to the price on the meter.
Limousine taxis are available and they operate from five and four star hotels. They have fixed rates, are more luxurious than service and private taxis, and are also air-conditioned. For a fixed rate, they provide transport from Jordan’s Queen Alia International Airport to any part of Amman. If interested in utilizing this service, you should buy a ticket from the kiosk after you emerge from the Customs Department into the arrival hall of the airport.
Please note that a private taxi ride will cost approximately $20 from Queen Alia Airport to the capital of Amman.
