Transportation

Automobiles
Driving on the island is on the left, British-style, and the maximum speed limit is 15 mph in Hamilton and 21 mph on the rest of the island. Under Bermudian law, non-residents are not allowed to own, rent, or drive four-wheeled vehicles. Non- residents must rely on taxis, buses or rental scooters.

Buses/Ferries
There is a regular, island-wide public bus service, and daily and weekly passes are available at the Central Bus Terminal, or Visitors' Service Bureau or Ferry Terminal in Hamilton. Schedules can be found in the phone book or by clicking on this link and at www.seaexpress.bm

Scooters
Rental motor scooter are readily available, and the required helmet is provided. However, visitors should be carefully consider whether or not it is worth the risk to ride a scooter. Motor scooters provide the greatest road peril in Bermuda; local operators tend to abuse the speed limit more than other drivers, and they will often pass on the left or right with no warning. Those unfamiliar with driving on the left are likely to find the roundabouts and regulations for yielding at junctions confusing and dangerous. In addition, vehicles often stop on the side of the road, blocking one lane of traffic. Main roads, while generally in good condition, are extremely narrow and tend to be bordered by heavy vegetation or low stone walls. Travelers who rent scooters should be aware that scooter accidents involving visitors are relatively common, and they can sometimes be fatal or involve serious injuries.

Taxis
Taxis are readily available for use across the island, although local rates are somewhat pricey by US standards.
