The official speed limit in Bermuda is 35 kilometers per hour for all vehicles, or approximately 26 miles per hour. Use of seat belts is law.

Car rental is not available for residents or visitors, but visitors do have several transportation options. Bermuda’s distinctive pink buses cover the island from end to end and offer frequent and affordable service. Ferries also travel a variety of routes and provide a wonderful new perspective of the island. Check the Bus Schedules for routes, schedules and fare information. Please note, exact change or tokens are required. If you will be using the buses and ferries frequently it is most convenient and affordable to buy a 1, 3, or 7-day pass. Monthly passes are also available. Passes and tokens are available at the Central Terminal in Hamilton, next to City Hall, and the Visitors Service Bureau.

For independent, wind-in-your-face sightseeing, scooters are available for rental. A valid driver’s license is required. Rates and other details can be obtained by contacting companies listed in the Cycles, Sales, Service & Rentals heading in your Yellow Pages™. Please take note, in Bermuda we drive on the left. At roundabouts you must give way to traffic coming from your right. Pedestrians have the right-of-way on all cross-walks. Hamilton also has a few tricky rules as you exit the city. Observe the signs and take your time.

If you would like a taxi tour of the island, look or ask for a (Bermuda Department of Tourism) certified Blue Flag taxi driver. The taxis are usually marked with blue flags both inside and out. As multiple drivers sometimes use the same taxi, confirm that the driver on duty is a certified Blue Flag driver.

Wheelchair accessible taxi service is available. You’ll also find a very stylish London taxi operating in Bermuda.

These services can be found under Taxi Services in the Yellow Pages®.
