When you visit Juneau, you likely want to spend your time enjoying the views, not following directions or referencing an app. That’s when booking a taxi cab in Juneau, Alaska, is beneficial.

Sit back, enjoy the ride and take in the scenery while someone else does the driving. Learn how to book a taxi using an app, phone number or website during your travels.

How to Contact Taxi Companies

Most taxi companies require that you call to book transportation. Some will allow you to provide some information in advance via an online web form and then get a call back from the company to officially book your taxi. However, there is always a phone call element to booking your taxi cab in Juneau.

Taxi Cab Apps in Juneau

The only transportation services with an app in Juneau are rideshare companies. Three rideshare companies operate in Juneau.

Lyft

You can find the Lyft app on the Apple App Store or Google Play. From there, you can set up an account and request a driver. You’ll see expected wait times and details about your driver. 

If you’re hoping to get the lowest fare possible to save money to explore Juneau and taste the fine cuisine available, you can use the Wait and Save function. Or if you’re in a hurry, choose Priority Pickup. 

Uber

The Uber app is available both in the Apple App Store and on Google Play. You can select from a variety of ride formats. UberX ensures you’ll have the ride to yourself. Uber Green helps you care for the environment with a more eco-friendly option. UberXL helps you hail a ride for up to 6 people. Uber Pet transports you and your pets (and Juneau Hotel welcomes dogs that are 35 pounds or less as well as service animals). 

Uber can help you share an Uber with other riders going to similar locations or aid you in splitting the fare with those you’re traveling with. Schedule your rides in advance to book your driver and ensure you’re covered when you need transportation on a set timeline.

Turo

Join the rental car marketplace where you can borrow vehicles from locals. Skip the traditional rental car counter at the airport and opt for the app that makes booking fast, simple and without the upcharges and hard sell that you can experience from traditional rental cars.

Plus, many cars available on the marketplace include upgrades, unlike the basic models that most rental car companies use. Get the app on the Apple App Store or Google Play to start renting vehicles from individuals. 

While Toru is not your traditional rideshare or taxi company, it is still worth consideration. 

Can I Text to Book a Taxi Cab in Juneau?

Currently, none of the taxi companies in Juneau allow for texting to book a taxi in Juneau. Some companies state that it is for security purposes that you must call the company to book your reservation. The City of Juneau does regulate taxi services, including how much the services can charge in fares.

What Are Taxi Fares in Juneau?

Based on the city laws, taxi companies can charge the following rates.

  • Meter drop (basically the initiation fee for your service regardless of where you are going or how far away it is): $4
  • Fee per mile: $3
  • Cost per additional person: $.50
  • Cost per additional bag: $.50

These rates only apply to taxi companies. That means that when you book a rideshare app, you might pay different rates based on the company’s availability of drivers and transportation types.

Alternative Transportation Options

When you visit Juneau, you have many transportation options to help you experience the area and get where you need to be on time. Review these options to plan your travel while in Juneau.

  • Hotel shuttle: Check with your hotel to see whether it offers a hotel shuttle. Your hotel might help you get from the airport or ferry terminal to your hotel and then back again at the end of your trip. This is often included in your per-night room rental, meaning you can save money over hailing a cab to your hotel.
  • Rental cars: From the Juneau International Airport, you can choose from one of four rental companies. These include Alamo/National/Enterprise, Avis, Budget and Hertz. Within these rental companies, you’ll have options for the size and type of vehicle you want to rent. 
  • Excursion transportation: Once your hotel has helped you get to and from the airport or ferry terminal, your other transportation need might be to get to and from your excursions. If that’s the case, look into whether your excursion company might include transportation to and from your hotel.
  • Bus: Capital Transit offers some of the lowest prices to get from one point to another. But it also takes longer since this is the city bus and it will make several stops en route to your destination. The city has planned the stops well though to help you get to popular tourist destinations.

Can Your Hotel Help You Get a Taxi?

If you’ve arrived in Juneau and don’t know about the local companies or what’s available to you for getting around, visit the front desk at your hotel. The team should be able to help you book transportation or guide you in who to call or what website to visit for help.
