Find the easiest way to explore Jeju with reliable taxi and rideshare options, good for visiting top hotels and impressive beaches hassle-free.
Safety Tips
Look for the yellow license plate and rooftop light marked '택시', unlicensed cars around Jeju-si or Seogwipo often lack both.
All Jeju taxis have meters. If the driver claims it's broken, insist on starting it or simply exit and use the next cab.
Locals rely on Kakao T and T-map Taxi; download and verify your account before you land, as these apps work island-wide.
For late-night rides from Seogwipo's nightlife areas, use the app's 'Safe Return' feature or share your live trip with a friend, cell service is strong along the coast roads.
Common Scams to Avoid
Drivers who insist the meter is "broken" and quote a flat fare that is 2-3 times the normal metered rate. Insist the meter be turned on or exit and find another cab.
Taxis waiting outside Seogwipo's cruise-ship pier or Jeju-si's airport that quote inflated flat rates to Hallasan-area attractions instead of using the meter. Walk to the official taxi queue or use the ride-hailing app shown on airport signage.
Long-haul routes from Jeju International Airport to the eastern or resort belt where drivers take the coastal scenic route (Route 1132) instead of the faster inland expressway, adding 15, 20 minutes and extra fare. Politely request the expressway (gosok do-ro) or track the route on your own map and speak up if it veers off.
