TAXICABS

There are air conditioned taxis in Tagbilaran City taking you around the city and to any point in Bohol. The taxis are very helpful for business trips in Bohol. It is very easy to take a taxi in the city, either you hail one plying the road or call the taxi company.

Within the city, the fare is the one reflected on the taxi meter. If it is beyond city limit, the fare is the amount reflected on the taxi meter plus 50% of the amount. The extra amount is to cover the cost of going back to the city as there is no assurance that the taxi will pick up passengers along the way.

Tipping is not required but it is always good to tip the driver and you will feel his genuine gratitude.
