Powering Hospitality with Seamless Transport: How BTOA Connect Supports Bermuda’s Service Industry
Hotels, restaurants, venues, and service providers can now offer faster, more reliable taxi bookings, thanks to Bermuda’s first driver-led digital platform.
Bermuda’s vibrant hospitality and service industries thrive on precision, care, and unforgettable customer experiences. But when transport becomes unreliable or inefficient, even the best-planned guest experience can falter. Whether it’s a hotel concierge trying to book an airport pickup, a restaurant securing a late-night ride for patrons, or a venue coordinating staff arrivals, the ability to access dependable, timely taxi service is critical.
That’s why the Bermuda Taxi Owners and Operators Association (BTOA) created BTOA Connect, a transport solution built by Bermuda’s taxi drivers to serve Bermuda’s service industries.
A Solution for Hospitality, From the Ground Up
BTOA Connect is Bermuda’s first purpose-built digital taxi booking platform, developed and managed by the drivers and owners who make up the BTOA. Our goal? To eliminate the inefficiencies and delays of traditional dispatch while giving local businesses, venues, and accommodations direct access to professional taxi services, fast, transparent, and reliable.
Through a user-friendly concierge booking portal, front-desk staff, hosts, managers, and coordinators can:
- Book taxis for guests or staff, on-demand or in advance
- Receive confirmations of bookings
- Avoid long hold times and dispatcher delays
- Pay standard metered rates, with no booking or service fees
- Book private hire or tours with secure online payment (Online Bookings include a service fee)
BTOA Connect is designed to support the way hospitality and service businesses work, without friction, without middlemen, and without delay.
Reliability Means Better Guest Experience
Every hotel or Airbnb host knows the challenge: your guest needs a ride, and the dispatcher line is busy. Or worse, no taxi shows up. With BTOA Connect, rides are booked digitally and instantly. Guests receive professional transport service, and your business gains a reputation for seamless service.
On-Demand, Scheduled, and Pre-Arranged Bookings
Need to schedule a taxi ahead of time? BTOA Connect allows your staff to pre-book rides up to 24 hours in advance. Want a quick solution in the moment? Our platform supports immediate ride requests with confirmation in seconds. No need to dial out or hope for callbacks.
A Direct Link to Drivers, Not a Call Center
BTOA Connect removes the dispatch operator from the process. Bookings are delivered directly to the nearest available driver using our proprietary app. It’s efficient, transparent, and built for real-world needs.
Transparent Pricing, No Extra Fees
All rides booked through the BTOA Connect Concierge Portal are charged at standard meter rates. There are no service charges, booking fees, or third-party markups. You pay only what you would in a regular metered taxi, and your guests appreciate the honesty and value. (Pre-arranged priority service must be booked exclusively through our online store.)
Empowering the Local Industry
Every ride booked supports Bermuda’s licensed, professional taxi drivers directly. Unlike corporate-owned platforms, BTOA Connect is managed by the same people who provide the service. It keeps revenue local, fair, and sustainable.
