Fares Although bound by law to charge fares by the meter, with a flag fall of F$1.50 (F$5
from the airport) plus 10 cents for every 100m travelled, not all do. Instead journeys are
charged a fixed rate, which is often inflated for tourists. Make sure you know the price before
you get in the taxi, and bargain down if necessary. Downtown Nadi to Denarau or the airport
should be F$15, to Wailoaloa Beach F$11, or to Martintar F$6.
BY CAR
If you're planning to explore Nadi and Viti Levu, renting a car is more economical than hiring
a taxi and a lot more convenient than waiting for sporadic buses along the Queens Rd, espe-
cially in rural locations. Rates range from F$65 to F$150 per day (plus F$15-20 a day for
insurance); all agencies will drop the car off for free at any hotel in the Nadi area.
To Denarau Island From the Queens Rd roundabout just before Downtown, the route to
Denarau winds 5km along a narrow road that eventually bridges a small mangrove estuary
onto the island; there's a large public car park (F$1 for 1hr, F$20 for 24hr) beside Port Dena-
rau.
