The four main transfer options are shared shuttles ($15\u201325 USD), private shuttles ($50\u201390 USD), Uber ($35\u201355 USD), and authorized airport taxis ($40\u201360 USD).

Accepting &#8220;help&#8221; with your luggage outside the terminal<\/strong> \u2014 unofficial porters will demand tips of $20+ USD for carrying your bag 10 meters. If you need help, use official red-cap porters inside the terminal.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>2. Taking a cab without a pre-agreed price<\/strong> \u2014 always confirm the fare before the wheels move. Authorized airport taxis use fixed rates via the kiosk system.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>3. Changing all your money at the airport<\/strong> \u2014 rates at airport currency exchanges are 3\u20135% worse than ATMs or banks in Antigua. Change $50\u2013100 for essentials and handle the rest later.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>4. Assuming Antigua is &#8220;just down the road&#8221;<\/strong> \u2014 it&#8217;s not. Plan for at least an hour of travel, more during rush. Don&#8217;t book a 7 PM dinner reservation if your flight lands at 5 PM.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>5. Not pre-booking for late-night arrivals<\/strong> \u2014 after 9 PM, your options shrink dramatically.
