In Aruba, it is not a common practice to raise your hands in order to call a cab, rather, tourists are accommodated with taxis. The rates, as what you have said, are set by the government. However, isn't it a good practice to ask the driver first before you ride with them?
Your advice are valuable. I admit that taking a taxi in other countries is not as simple as ABC. I think taxi drivers in Aruba are willing to have a negotiation with regard to fares. Right? Will they charge you a higher rate when you travel late at night?
