Getting around

Paragraph. There are a number of ways in which you can travel the island. For the locals they use private vehicles public transport and also private transport.

 

Barbados taxi

There are many taxis in Barbados to choose from. You can virtually find them anywhere on the island from the beaches, town etc. You can defiantly find lots of taxis at the airport and the cruise ship terminal where the ships dock.  The taxis license plates should begin with Z on it and the color of the plate is usually white. In terms of the private vehicles which are called ZR’S (pronounced ZED-R), you would have to pay a small fee which is BDS $1.50. The big yellow buses also have the same fees to ride.

 

Car Rentals

If you want to drive yourself and you feel comfortable driving on the left side of the road you can certainly do so. However it would be a good thing to know some of the road laws before hand. There are many car rental companies on the island some of which include Bajan Rentals, Drive-A-Matic Car Hire etc. If you wish to travel in a more luxurious way you can do so by renting a limousine.
