Local taxis are licensed only to carry Cubans, but most of them will take you to your destination for half the price of a regular taxi. You must negotiate a price with the driver before getting in. The risk is borne entirely by them. However, if you are caught by the police, you might have to accompany the driver to the police station. You will be kept waiting there as an inconvenience, but nothing else will happen to you. Local taxis can be found in Central Park, near the Hotel Plaza and Hotel Parque Central.
