Transportation: Taxis in New Orleans
Taxis can be an efficient way to explore
Because New Orleans is really a “small” big city, it’s actually quite affordable to go from here to there by cab. A cross-town ride from your French Quarter/downtown hotel to an Uptown jazz club or neighborhood restaurant is typically under $20. You'll also find taxis indispensable when trekking out to such favorite local spots outside of the walkable French Quarter/ downtown area.
A cab ride costs about $36 from the airport to the city center for one or two people and $15 per passenger for three or more passengers. Pick-up is on the lower level, outside the baggage claim area. (Prices are subject to change but are regulated by the city.)
