Bermuda Car Rental Options

 

If there is something unique about Bermuda compared to other Caribbean islands it’s the fact that you can’t drive around.

 

No matter how far and wide you search you’ll discover that there are no Bermuda car rental services around. This is partly because there is a severe case of traffic congestion and therefore not enough parking spaces available. 

To make this less of a problem, only Bermudians are allowed to drive around.

 

Despite this you will be glad to know that there is a wide range of transportation available in the island ready to help you get around. If you were counting on making use of a Bermuda car rental, take heart you have other options. So once you arrived on your flight to Bermuda, consider some of these methods of transport on the ground:   

 

Bus 

 

There is an abundance of buses on the island. There are different destinations for buses so you don’t have to worry about not being able to go somewhere. If you are not too sure about where to get a bus, or where the bus stop is, it can be pretty easy to tell.

 

If you are around the Hamilton area just look for a blue pole if you are going outbound and a pink pole if you are going inbound. You can take advantage of Transportations Passes which allow you unlimited rides for one, three or even seven days. These can also be used on ferries.  

 

Taxi 

 

Wherever you go you will find a taxi and it can be a good choice for transportation if you don’t fancy sitting with a whole bunch of strangers. The only drawback is that taking several cab rides might prove to be expensive. However you can still be sure that you won’t get ripped off since all taxi rates are run by meter. Some cabs are available for rent for six hours, an entire day or even a week. You’ll discover that most taxi drivers are actually very friendly and helpful. You can ask them about local spots and places to visit. As a matter of fact many tourists often hire taxis to take them on tours instead of going with an official tour guide. 

 

Scooter 

 

Despite the lack of Bermuda car rental services there is an abundance of scooters!! Talk about island life! 

This is perhaps the most popular mode of transportation in the area. You do not even need a driver’s license to be able to hire one. The only downside to this is that if there are a number of people in your group it becomes slightly more difficult to get everyone to rent scooters. The age limit for driving a scooter in Bermuda is 16. Anyone younger will not be permitted to use this mode of transportation.

 

Other than this you need to remember that traffic in this country comes from the left side, so you need to drive on the left hand side of the road. A safety helmet is given when you rent out a scooter and it must be worn at all times that you are driving. The speed limit is 35 km/h when driving around the city areas.

 

Getting around here is different, but fun. So enjoy every minute of it!
