Taking a taxi in Lima is generally the easiest way for tourists to get around the city. Taxis can be found on every other corner, and the most common cars used are sedans; Toyota Corollas are pretty standard. Seat belts are not standard… you may not even be able to find one in the cab if you want it!
Typically fares are decided at the end of the trip, but I warn against that. The Gringo tax can 
get pretty high. Ask a local what the standard fare is and try and make sure you agree upon that with your driver.
If you plan on staying for a couple days or longer and manage to get a decent driver, get his card and number. Using the same taxi multiple times is incentive for them to give you better prices.
