Travelling Within The Islands

Taxis
Metered with rates fixed by law. Available by telephone/hail in street/ Taxi stands Surcharges over 2 people - $2.00 per person. Luggage over 2 bags per person: $0.50 per bag. No evening surcharge. Suggested Tip - 15% of fare.

Horse-Drawn Surreys
This may be the transportation of choice for love-struck couples in no great hurry. The fresh Bahamas air and brilliant days and nights make riding en plein air under a blanket of stars particularly attractive. In Nassau, surreys may be hired in Rawson Square. Approximately US $5 for 30 minutes. Rates are negotiable. Horses are rested during the peak of the day's heat (1-3 pm May to October).

Buses

All destinations one way $0.75 adults/$0.50 children (bus drivers do not give change). Buses (jitneys) run throughout the day until about 8 pm. Some hotels have free service to city center. Most of the major Islands have bus service

On Grand Bahama, there is bus transportation between Lucaya/International Bazaar/Downtown/Eight Mile Rock Hawksbill - $0.75 within Freeport area, $1.00 outside.

Car Rental
You can also do it yourself with readily-available and reasonably-rated car rentals. If you're from the US, it may take a little getting used to, as Bahamians drive on the left side of the road. But the benefits are obvious: you can travel at your own pace, stop when you want, and someone can always stretch out on the backseat. Here is a listing of companies:
