You just landed in St Thomas, the sun is bright, the breeze is warm and now you are wondering what the Limo will cost.

Why St Thomas Limo cost looks different from other places?
In many cities, Limo charge by the meter. In St Thomas, most Limo use set per person rates by zone. That means the price depends on where you start, where you go and how many people ride together.
A few quick facts that help everything make sense
- Uber and Lyft do not operate on the island, so you rely on licensed taxis, private cars and shuttles.
- Rates are set by local authorities and published on rate cards that drivers follow.
- Shared “Limo” are the open air trucks you see lined up at Cyril E King Airport and at popular beaches.
Most travelers end up paying about eight to forty dollars per person for round trip taxi rides between hotels and major sights on St Thomas, depending on distance.
St Thomas is compact, yet hilly. You will see names like Charlotte Amalie, Red Hook, Magens Bay, Sapphire Beach and Coki Point over and over. Your Limo price is built around these hubs.

How to read Limo rate charts like a local?
When you look at Limo rate boards or competitor sites, you will notice three common patterns
- A price for one person and a slightly lower price per person when there are two or more in the same group.
- Separate lines for “to town” and “to airport” from the same neighborhood.
- A higher flat price for “exclusive” or “private” service where you do not share with strangers.
Knowing that, you can quickly compare a shared safari taxi with a private transfer from Majestic Limo and Tour and choose what fits your budget and comfort level.
How group size changes your St Thomas Limo cost
Because so many Limo charge per person, the way you travel as a group matters more here than in many other beach destinations.
Solo travelers and couples
If you are alone or with one friend
- Shared taxis are usually the cheapest way to move between the airport, town and major beaches
- You pay the posted per person rate
- You trade some comfort for savings, since you may wait while the van fills and may stop at other hotels first
For one or two people who pack light, this is often the best value.
Families of three to six
This is where you should pause and do a little math.
With four people, a shared Limo at twenty dollars per person already reaches eighty dollars one way. A private airport transfer in a comfortable SUV or van can run between ninety and one hundred thirty five dollars for the same route, sometimes including a more generous luggage policy and direct drop off.
For families, the per person cost of a private ride often ends up very close to the shared taxi price and you get
- A guaranteed vehicle just for your group
- Air conditioning, space for strollers and bags
- A driver who can make a quick grocery stop by request
Large groups, wedding parties and events
If you are planning transport for a wedding, retreat or corporate event, you will see the biggest difference. The local Limo association and private operators offer vans and mini buses that can handle groups of fifteen to over one thousand guests.
In this case
- Shared per person Limo from the airport can add up fast
- Chartering a few large vans through a company like Majestic Limo and Tour can create a smoother arrival, with greeters at the airport and direct trips to your villa or hotel.
For groups, always ask for a written quote by email, with your dates, flight times and number of bags, so you can compare options side by side.
Extra fees that affect St Thomas Limo cost
Base fares are only part of the story. Several small fees can change what you pay on the day of travel.
Late night and early morning
Trips between midnight and six in the morning often include a small extra charge per person on top of the posted fare.
If you have a very late arrival or sunrise departure, confirm this in advance so it is not a surprise.
Waiting time
If the driver must wait while you check in, run errands or handle late bags, there can be a per minute waiting charge after the first few free minutes. Some guides list about one dollar per minute after the grace period.
Tip, keep your group together and ready at pickup time so you avoid this.
Phone calls, special pickups and luggage
Calling a limo service to your villa or a quiet part of the island can add a small extra amount on top of the normal fare.
You may also see
- A small charge for each large suitcase
- Higher prices on holidays or very busy cruise days
