Getting around in Pensacola
Taxi
The taxi service in Pensacola is an expensive affair as getting from one place to
another requires long driving times. Hailing a cab from the street is almost impossible.
Usually please call the cab company and wait. Fare is $2 for the first one-ninth
mile, $2.25 per mile, .50¢ for each bag of luggage over two bags
and $18-20 per hour for waiting.
Car Hire
Car hire is by far the best way to get around the city. With the exception of downtown
Pensacola, parking is abundant and free.
Pensacola Car Hire
is definitely worth "going in" for as it will give you the freedom to see
the city at your own pace. Usually a person between the age brackets of 18 to 75
years with a valid license is allowed to drive a private, non-commercial
vehicle in the city. If you like to drive, don't forget to carry your driver's
license. For foreigners, International Driving Permit is compulsory.
Depending on the way you're travelling, there are many types of Pensacola car rental services that can make
it convenient for you to move comfortably between hotels, places of interest,
restaurants and airports. Pick from economy vehicles to go for a trip around the
city to full size vehicles for longer inter-city excursions - all at best
prices.
