How to Get Around in The Bahamas (Episode 33)
FAQ Series — Answering Google’s top questions about traveling Nassau & beyond.

One of the most common questions visitors ask is: “What’s the best way to get around in The Bahamas?” Here’s the local, straight-to-the-point breakdown—so you can enjoy more island time and less guesswork.
1) Taxis (fastest & easiest)
Taxis are the most convenient way to move around Nassau. With RickyLuv Bahamas Taxi & Tour, you get flat-rate pricing, licensed & insured drivers, clean cars, and real local insight. Our guests have left 70+ five-star Google reviews for on-time, friendly, professional service.
“Incredible service. On time, reliable, and communicative… as a young female, I felt completely safe.” — Gianna, Google Review
Book direct here: Airport & city taxi — flat rates. While you’re on island, you can also request quick local rides with our TaxiBooker app for the same trusted standard.
2) Jitneys (public buses)
Budget-friendly and a slice of local life. They run set routes mostly by day and don’t operate late. If your schedule is tight—or you’re traveling with kids or luggage—taxis are usually the smoother choice.
3) Car & scooter rentals
Want maximum flexibility? Rentals are available, but remember we drive on the left. Nassau traffic can be busy and parking limited downtown. If you’d rather skip the learning curve, a taxi or private tour keeps things stress-free.
4) Ferries & water taxis
Great for island hopping (e.g., Nassau ↔ Paradise Island). Check schedules ahead of time—service can be limited outside peak windows.
