Helmets are included and are a mandatory safety requirement. Visitors wishing to rent a scooter must be 16 years old or older, but younger persons may ride as passengers provided they wear a safety helmet. Since cars cannot be rented in Bermuda, taxis are one of the most convenient modes of transportation. Each taxi is outfitted with a meter, and a rate card must be posted. This base fare is for one to four passengers.
Taxis carrying five or six passengers use a different rate.
From midnight to 6 a.m. and on Sundays and public holidays, rates are slightly higher. Bermuda's taxi drivers are helpful and friendly. Most taxi drivers are pleased with a 10 to 15 percent tip, but tipping is not mandatory.
