Ground Transportation

Taxi Service:
Taxi service is always available at the airport upon your arrival. Taxi fee into Governor's Harbour from the GHB airport is about $20.

Car Rentals:
The car rental business is a lot more relaxed in the Bahamas. They will meet you at the airport, hand you the keys and you're on your way. No paperwork required. The cars are usually older models but in good running condition. Expect rental cars to range from $50 - $70 per day. Weekly rates are negotiable. If you plan to explore the more remote beaches, we recommend that you rent a Jeep or SUV. Rates for these vehicles are usually about $80 per day depending on the length of rental and type of vehicle. If you want to do serious adventuring we recommend a Jeep type preferabley with four wheel drive.

Your Beach Skiff will transport you to magical bonefishing spots! Most resorts will be more than happy to make your rental car arrangements for you. Rental cars can meet you at the airport or you may have them delivered to your lodging destination.

If you'd like to make car arrangements yourself, we recomment a Google search for "Eleuthera car rental."

Tips for driving in Eleuthera:
Remember to drive on the left hand side of the road!

As you travel the island try to make eye contact with other drivers and people by the road. Acknowledge their presence with a wave or even lifting a few fingers off the steering wheel. Almost always you will get a friendly wave back from the locals.

If you stop and ask a local for directions try not to be confused by their directions: Up island means South and down island means North.
