Includes how to get to and from the country/economy as well as the different transportation options and their reliability within this country.

Bermuda has only one airport, the L.F. Wade International Airport, which is located at the Civil Air Terminal in St. David’s Parish, approximately 10 miles east of the capital, Hamilton. Several commercial airlines fly between Bermuda, the U.S., Canada, and the UK daily, including American Airlines, Delta, Jet Blue, US Airways, British Airways and Air Canada. During the winter months flight schedules are reduced. Go to www.bermudaairport.aero/default.aspx for flight information and schedules. 

Driving on the island is on the left, British-style, with a maximum speed limit of 15 mph in Hamilton and 21 mph elsewhere, although in practice driving speeds are slightly higher. Non-residents may not own, rent, or drive four-wheeled vehicles but must rely on taxis, buses, or rental motor scooters for transport. 

There is regular, island-wide public bus and ferry service. Daily, weekly and monthly passes are available at the Central Bus Terminal on Church Street, Hamilton, or at the Ferry Terminal on Front Street, Hamilton. Buses and ferries are generally inexpensive, accommodating, clean, and efficient. Schedules can be found in the phone book or at http://www.gov.bm/portal/server.pt/gateway/PTARGS_0_2_18606_252_993_43/http%3B/ptpublisher.gov.bm%3B7087/publishedcontent/publish/ministry_of_tourism_ and at http://www.seaexpress.bm/ferries_about.aspx.   

Visitors may rent motor scooters island-wide, along with the required safety helmet. Visitors should carefully consider the risk of riding a scooter. Those unfamiliar with driving on the left are likely to find the roundabouts and regulations for yielding at junctions confusing and dangerous. Roads - even main roads - while generally in good condition, are narrow, shoulder-less, and often bordered by heavy vegetation or low stone walls. Those renting scooters should be aware that scooter accidents involving visitors are common and can involve serious injuries or fatalities. 

Taxis are readily available across the island. The best availability is at hotel taxi stands. The rates are as follows: 

Monday to Saturdays (6 a.m. to midnight): 

For 1-4 passengers the meter starts at $7.90 then is $2.75/mile. 

For 5-7 passengers the meter starts at $9.95 then is $3.50/mile. 

Sundays, holidays, and midnight to 6 a.m.: 

For 1-4 passenger there is a 25% surcharge. 

For 5-7 passengers there is a 50% surcharge.
