Knowledgeable drivers and affordable rates make cabs a perfectly acceptable choice for primary transportation on Bermuda. 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 $30(USD) and $45(USD) per hour depending on the driver and the number of passengers. Travelers usually have no difficulty locating a cab. Many wait outside airports and marinas. For those who would prefer to reserve a taxi in advance, contact one of the major taxi companies in Bermuda.
All rates are metered and should be approximately $5(USD) for the first mile, and less than $1.50(USD) for each subsequent mile. This is the standard for a cab holding one to four people. Taxis carrying more than four people will operate on a different rate system, which the driver will explain. 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 a cab driver is not required, but passengers receiving good service should offer 10 to 15 percent. 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 just one of the many ways to find your way around Bermuda, and their convenience and reliability are ideal for a carefree vacation. Related Articles
