Besides taxis and renting a car, the only way to get around the islands is to take an 'aluguer', or collective taxis, which can be anything from modern and spacious vans to pick-up trucks.

Taxis are generally easy to find and are often metred. Rides within a city are rather inexpensive, but rides to or from an airport or day-excursions come with a steep price increase. Below are a few reputable drivers: Ildo: +238 986 0622 Eddson: +238 985 8508 Silveno: +238 998 5527

The most reliable connections are between Santaigo, Brava and Fogo, as well as between Sao Vicente and Santo Antao.
