Traveling by Taxi in Bermuda

Knowledgeable drivers and affordable rates make cabs the perfect choice for primary transportation on the island of Bermuda.

Bermuda vacationers will find that taxis are metered and widely available throughout the island. There are no cars available to rent, so taxis are a popular choice by necessity. Luckily, they also happen to be affordable and convenient. Many taxi drivers are also tour guides, licensed by the government, and are happy to give visitors informative tours. Tours generally cost between $36(USD) and $50(USD) per hour depending on number of passengers.Taxis with a blue card in the window indicates the driver has been certified as a tourism specialist.

Travelers usually have no difficulty locating a cab. Many wait outside airports, hotels, marinas, and popular tourist destinations. For those who would prefer to reserve a taxi in advance, contact one of the major taxi companies in Bermuda, which include:

All rates are metered and should be approximately $5(USD) for the first mile, and less than $2 for each subsequent mile, which is the standard rate for a cab holding one to four people. Taxis carrying more than four people will operate on a slightly increased rate system. Surcharges may apply for wait time or excess baggage. Additionally, certain times, such as holidays, Sundays, and late-night rides (between midnight and 6 a.m.) are subject to higher rates. Tipping is suggested at 10 to 15 percent. 

Those traveling with young children should always be aware of car seat laws in any given area. In Bermuda, it is against the law to ride with a young child in a personal vehicle without a car seat. Taxis, however, are exempt from this law, and will not provide a car seat to those who did not bring theirs from home. While not against the law, it is always safer to strap your child into a proper safety restraint system, so it is encouraged that you bring your car seat from home.

Metered fares and friendly drivers make taxis an appealing option for travelers who don't want to bother with bus routes and public transportation. Taxis are a convenient and reliable means of transportation to enjoy a carefree vacation in Bermuda.
