Why Local Taxis Beat Tour Buses in Nassau

Published: June 20, 2025

Let’s be real — tour buses are slow, crowded, and locked into cookie-cutter schedules. In Nassau, if you want the real experience, you need to think local. Local taxis offer flexibility, personal insight, and a whole lot more flavor.

1. You Control the Ride

Tour buses follow scripts. Local taxis like Rickyluv Bahamas Taxi & Tour go where you want, when you want — airport, hotel, Fish Fry, or a hidden beach the buses won’t even tell you about.

2. Skip the Wait

Why sit on a parked tour bus waiting for 20 people to load up? With a local taxi, it’s just you and your driver. No delays, no distractions, no nonsense.

3. Get the Real Nassau

Our local drivers aren’t just chauffeurs — they’re storytellers, guides, and cultural plugs. Want to learn some Bahamian slang or hit a local food spot? Just ask. That’s not happening on a tour bus with a script.

4. Same Price — More Value

Many tourists don’t realize local taxis are just as affordable — and way more personal. In fact, with prepaid options through card, CashApp, Apple Pay, or custom payment links, booking with us is easy.

Better Booking = Better Experience

Use our Taxi Booker App to book a flat-rate ride or real-time pickup, and check out our local tours if you want even more adventure.
