How to Get Around Bermuda by Taxi or Car?
Taxis are the most convenient and reliable way to get around Bermuda. With knowledgeable drivers and a well-connected network of roads, taxis provide easy access to the island’s beautiful beaches, cultural landmarks, and bustling towns. Unlike other destinations, Bermuda does not offer car rentals to tourists, maintaining its charm as a luxury destination with limited private vehicle traffic.
For a unique experience, consider taking a taxi tour. Many drivers double as guides, sharing the island’s rich history and pointing out hidden gems. These tours can be customized to suit your interests and are perfect for first-time visitors.
