Official airport taxis operate at fixed rates and provide the safest option, though you should agree on the fare before starting your trip. Ride-share services like Uber are not available in Haiti. Public mass transit such as buses or tap-taps exist but are not recommended for travelers due to safety concerns, overcrowding, and irregular routes. Car rentals are available at the airport, but driving in Port-au-Prince is challenging due to heavy traffic, poor road conditions, and a lack of consistent signage, so hiring a car with a driver is often preferred. Most visitors use official taxis for their relative safety and convenience."
