Safety Tips
In Houma, legitimate taxis display a Louisiana Public Service Commission medallion on the rear bumper and a roof light. If either is missing, decline the ride.
Most Houma taxis run on the meter, if the driver claims it's broken or has a flat rate, insist on the meter or use Uber or Lyft instead.
Locals rely on Uber and Lyft. Both apps work reliably across Terrebonne Parish and show driver details before pickup.
For solo or late-night rides, wait inside a well-lit spot like the Houma-Terrebonne Civic Center or a grocery store entrance and share your live trip status with a friend through the rideshare app.
Common Scams to Avoid
Drivers taking indirect routes through Bayou Cane or along LA-24 to inflate the meter, ask for the direct route via Main Street or use a map app to follow along.
Taxis at the Houma-Terrebonne Airport charging a fixed 'flat rate' significantly higher than the meter, insist on using the meter or pre-arrange pickup through your hotel.
Nighttime drivers claiming the meter is 'broken' and quoting inflated cash prices, refuse the ride and call another cab, or ensure the meter is running before departure.
