Yes, taxis are available in San Juan del Sur, but for the most part, you will not need their services unless you want to travel to a nearby beach, or to Rivas or other cities.
In San Juan del Sur, most people walk, as the town is fairly small. Besides, by walking around you get to see many different shops, restaurants, food stores, etc.

San Juan Del Sur has a pretty good taxi service and other public transport services such as buses. So let’s say, for example, if you want to go to Rivas or Managua, you can always take the public transportation which is relatively cheap at around US $4 to $5.
Getting a taxi is easy. Usually, in a block or two, you will find a taxi driving around but if you don’t, then you can just go to the central market and get one there, and from there,...

Getting a taxi is easy. Usually, in a block or two, you will find a taxi driving around but if you don’t, then you can just go to the central market and get one there, and from there, they'll take you pretty much anywhere you need to go. Aside from that, there are also taxi services that you can call on the phone to pick you up from where you are and take you where you need to go.
There are no meters in the taxis here in Nicaragua so you would have to negotiate with the driver ahead of time. It is customary to haggle when you get a taxi to get the lowest price. The typical taxi fare for a 10-minute drive to any direction would be around $2 to $3. It is relatively safe to ride a taxi in Nicaragua.

In San Juan Del Sur, everybody who has a car is a taxi automatically. So generally, taxis are free. You just jump in the back of a car because cars stop everywhere you go and that is how the Nicas get around. They just stick their thumbs out and if you have a pick-up truck, which most people do have, you are always filled with Nicaraguans who are transporting around. There are also proper taxis. To take a 2-hour trip is about US $50, but to get in and around town,...

For $5 you can get to the beaches north and south of town. There are always taxis right in the center of San Juan Del Sur.
