Information on Bahamas Transportation: Buses, Taxis, and Rental Cars.
Bahamas Bus Service
The bus in the Bahamas, known as the Jitney, runs around Nassau and on Paradise Island and Grand Bahama Island. The bus can get pricey and is unreliable, and does not run to and from the airport.
Bahamas Taxi Service
Taxis are easy to find at the airport and many hotels, or you can stand on one of the busier streets and flag one down. Taxis operate on fixed fares, but it is still a good idea to settle on a rate before getting in, just to save yourself a surprise when you reach your destination.
Bahamas Car Rentals
There are companies with Bahamas rental cars on the larger islands; the smaller islands have no need for a car, most prefer to walk or take a more commonly-used golf cart. Be sure to check our list of Bahamas car rental agencies as well as Driving Tips.
Inter-Island Travel
It’s surprisingly easy to get from one island to the other. There are island-hopper flights that run consistently, ferries between island ports, and boat rentals that offer the luxury of deciding when and where on your own schedule.
