Grand Bahama Airport Transportation

Grand Bahama Airport Transportation http://www.bahamasairporttransfer.com Grand Bahama Airport Transportation. If you are here for the day on a cruise ship there is a transport hub immediately off the ship. If you want to go to one of the standard tourist destinations the rates are posted and are fairly reasonable. Taxis are available but very expensive. We tried to get info there about local bus transportation, but the folks there acted like there was no such thing. (Of course there was a local system, just not from that spot. We would have had to walk a ways out of the port area to access busses, and we couldn’t tell if we could get to Lucaya National Park that way and get back in time. If you want to see anything, you will need some way to get there, nothing is in walking distance from the ship. We decided that renting a car was the best option for what we wanted to do. It cost for the day plus for gas, which amounted to each for the three of us, and gave us the freedom to be on our own timetable and agenda. That was perfect, especially since my brother was comfortable with driving on the left side of the road.

They were relatively cheap, the roads in-town good, and very light traffic. No more. Renting a car is the best way to get around, especially if you want to do things on your own schedule. Although most hotels and resorts offer courtesy shuttles, you’ll only be able to go to the grocery/beach/casino when they say you can. Taxi’s are expensive here, bikes and mopeds are at the mercy of traffic, and most places are too far to walk (unless you stay in the tourist enclave of Lucaya). You’ll find Avis, Hertz, Budget and the usual suspects at the airport. But call your resort before you go and ask them to recommend a rental agency. You might save yourself up to 50% off the majors. Try to secure a car with right-hand drive. Though it feels strange at first, you’ll get used to it quickly, and it’s much safer for you than the standard American steering wheel on the left. Once I rented from a small company in Freeport. The first night, I had a flat downtown, not a good thing. I called the number I’d been given and found myself talking to the agency’s owner at his home. He drove over […]
