Private Transportation
Electric Microcar Rentals
One of the most fun ways to explore Bermuda is to rent an electric car (there are no conventional car rentals available on the island). This option is available to visitors age 18 and up with a valid driver’s license.
Ride Share
If you prefer a ride sharing service, download the Hitch app when you arrive in Bermuda to help you navigate the island. It works just like Uber or Lyft – enter your destination and Hitch’s GPS will determine your location and provide fare estimates.
Scooters & Bicycle Rentals
Pedal your way around the island by bicycle, e-bike, or motorised scooter (moped) and discover Bermuda’s winding streets and coastal roads. Pay attention to the rules of the road: Bermudians drive on the left, and the speed limit never exceeds 20mph/32kph. Helmets are always required for scooters and bicycles, and motorised scooters are available to visitors 18 and over.
Bicycle rental rates typically range between $30-35USD per day. Learn more about exploring Bermuda on two wheels.
Public Transportation
Buses
Public transportation is safe, convenient and available year round via Bermuda’s buses. A handy tip to avoid needing exact change: get a Transportation Pass, available from one day up to seven days of unlimited use on the island's buses. Passes are sold at the Central Terminal on Washington Street and the Visitor Service Centres in Royal Naval Dockyard and the Town of St. George, as well as at other authorised outlets.
Buses: With 11 bus routes and 14 bus zones, buses are frequent and plentiful, and they service most areas of interest. They’re easy to spot as they're painted Bermuda pink with blue stripes. Most buses leave from the Central Terminal on Washington Street, next to City Hall in Hamilton. Learn more about the buses and download the full bus schedule.
Ferries
Public transportation is safe, convenient and available year round via Bermuda ferries. A handy tip to avoid needing exact change: get a Transportation Pass, available from one day up to seven days of unlimited use on the island's ferries. Passes are sold at the Central Terminal on Washington Street and the Visitor Service Centres in Royal Naval Dockyard and the Town of St. George, as well as at other authorised outlets.

Taxis
Taxis can usually be found outside Bermuda’s larger hotels, near the airport or on the streets of the City of Hamilton, the Town of St. George or the Royal Naval Dockyard. There’s no trick to getting one – just raise your hand and one will drive right up, or arrange pick-up times with your hotel’s front desk. Bermuda’s taxi drivers are great guides, too. No one knows the best destinations better than they do!
