Off the Beaten Track Getting Around The best and cheapest transport option on Barbados is the bus. Renting a car is another good way of getting around. None of the island's many car rental agencies is affiliated with a major international rental chain, so just call to book a car and someone will swing by your hotel to pick you up. In Barbados, you drive on the left.
Taxis are also available and fares are fixed by the government.
However, vehicles are unmetered so establish a fare in advance, especially if you hire a taxi for a sightseeing tour. Bicycles can be rented in Hastings and Maxwell. Few car rental agencies have booths at the airport, but most will pick customers up. Otherwise travelers have a choice of catching a taxi to their destination or simply walking out onto the road and catching a local bus. Inc. All Rights Reserved.
