Taxis: When taking yellow taxis in the major cities you should ensure that the taxi meter is reset. The minimum charge in Quito is USD 1, even if the meter registers less for your journey. You should only use authorised taxis (yellow cabs) that display their taxi registration sticker on the windscreen and doors, as well as the orange license plates. You should avoid hailing taxis on the street and should instead book one through your hotel or by calling a known radio taxi service. Larger supermarkets and airports also have taxi ranks. Before getting into a taxi, agree on a price with the driver. To avoid being overcharged, ask at the hotel what you should expect to pay for the juorney. You should carry plenty of change as most taxi drivers cannot change a $20 or a $10 note.
Currency: The US Dollar is the only legal currency in Ecuador. Ecuador has used the US dollar as its official currency since 2000. Both US coins and Ecuadorian coins (5c, 10c, 25c and 50c coins), which are equivalent to the value of the US coins, are used.
Money: You should ensure you bring enough money in the form of US Dollars (preferably in small denominations up to US$20 notes) or traveller cheques. Credit cards and traveller cheques are generally accepted in the cities. The most common credit card is Diners Club followed by Visa, MasterCard and American Express.
Tipping: In restaurants it is customary to tip a 10% minimum of the total bill if the bill does not include a service charge. Taxi drivers are not commonly tipped.
