Taxi service in Pensacola can be expensive due to the long driving times required to get from one end of town to the other. Don't expect to find a cab when you need a ride, nor to hail one; usually you'll need to call the cab company, and expect a wait. A few taxi-stands are located in downtown Pensacola (good luck finding them), and at the airport. Rates for taxi cabs are set by city ordinance, and are as follows:

• $2 for the first one-ninth mile.
• .25¢ for each additional one-ninth mile ($2.25 per mile.)
• .50¢ for each bag of luggage over two bags.
• .50¢ for each passenger over the age of thirteen.
• .50¢ for trips between 9PM and 5AM.
• $18 per hour for waiting

There is also a minimum charge of $11 for any taxi ride from the Pensacola Regional Airport, plus a $1 surcharge if the cab fare is over $11.
