Coco Taxi

A cheap touristical way to go from one point to the other in Havana
Yellow ones are for tourists, black (with yellow) are for Cuban locals

Cubataxi

Since winter 2008 all taxi companies work under one name: Cubataxi
Be aware that when the taxi has no meter make a price before you get in the taxi.
If they have a meter, at daytime the meter code is "1" at night time "4" these numbers calculate a different price per km

To make it complex, some still work under their old names: Panatax is the cheapest ... The most expensive taxis are Turistaxi, Transgaviota and Taxi OK. They are white with red signs and yellow with black signs at the side

Grancar

Old Chevrolets licensed to transport tourists. You recognize the Grancar name at the side of the taxi. Expensive the price is about 30 cuc per hour!

You find these taxi's in the touristical areas of Havana city and in front of the more expensive hotels like Hotel Nacional

Horse drawn carriages

In Habana vieja you can hop on such a touristical exclusive horse drawn carriage. Romantic way to see the city but expensive. They charge about 30 cuc per tour from an hour or so.
You find lots of them in front of Hotel Inglaterra

Bicitaxi

The cheapest way to go around Habana ... 1 cuc
Officially not allowed to cary tourists but they do.
You have a chance to kicked off the taxi and walk for a few minutes if the police is close by. But around the corner you can hop on again and continue the ride.

Almendrones/Colectivos
shared Cuban Taxi

The old cars like Chevrolets from the '50 recognizable by their little red and white taxi signs on the right side of the car. They ride a one way route, people stand along that route and hop in and out
Almendrones start their route at Parque Central at the corner of Prado and Neptuno
this is the main route that go from Parque Central to Miramar or Marianao
some of them take Calle (the ones going to Marianao, a reference point should be Ciudad Libertad) and the others take Linea and go to Miramar trough 3rd avenue
Cost of the trip Parque Central to Marianao or Miramar is 20 Cuban Pesos (CUP), if you go only untill Vedado the the price is 10 Cuban Pesos.
The way back is the same, that will say ... Neptuno is a one wat street, back they go through the Malecon or San Lazaro
