All taxi in Cuba are state. Therefore, the prices for travel for tourists here are determined not by the whims of drivers, but again – by the state.

I walked to the first taxi driver – 25 euro. – It was very expensive. Probably it’s “bombs”, we’ll ask the others. How many? – 25. And the union 25. And then a whole crowd of taxi drivers approached and said that they have all 25. Such, sort of like, the tariff. As proof that they did not take this amount out of their heads, the taxi driver opened the front door of his car and showed a table glued on the door with prices for the road to the city center, to the bus station and to other areas of Havana.

The only one way to save money is to look for other travelers, and take one car for 4—5 people. So you will pay 5 euros instead of 25.

The most instructive in this story is that instead of 25 euros (CUC) I paid only 5.
