I do not, sorry. But, if you go to this website www.taxistmaarten.com you can e-mail them for the latest rates. Can't guarantee they're going to answer, however. They used to print them directly on this site, but the last time I checked it kept stating "New Rates Coming Soon." One small tip I can give you is always ask the price before you get in. Rates are by zones and do not fluctuate throughout the day or night.

Definitely agree with the 'more expensive at night', and the rates to ME appear to be whatever the taxi driver charges and you agree to pay.
My tips for taxi drivers are 1) Make sure it's a real taxi, not a gypsy. Real taxis have TAXI on the license plate. 2) If you think you're going to use a taxi a lot, develop a relationship with a driver, like TTOL sponsor, Wilfred Brooks. His info is on the TTOL sponsors page 3) ALWAYS confirm the price before you get in the taxi.

Well, maybe there's your answer, they saw you looking it up. I don't take a taxi that often, but the times I have, the rates just seemed to be all over the place..
