Visitors: Tourists cannot rent or drive standard cars in Bermuda (though small two-seater mini-EVs and rental scooters are permitted). International driver's licenses are not accepted for operating standard cars. New Residents: Foreign driver's licenses cannot simply be swapped. If you move to Bermuda, you must complete the full local licensing process through the Transport Control Department (TCD). Taking a few orientation lessons with a local driving instructor is highly recommended to familiarize yourself with driving on the left, narrow roads, strict speed limits, and one-way systems in Hamilton.

Medical Form: Complete a TCD Driver's Licence Application and have a local doctor complete the medical evaluation portion (certifying fitness to operate a vehicle). Theory Exam: Pass the electronic theory test at TCD covering road signs, traffic laws, and safe driving practices (requires 80% or higher to pass). Learner’s Permit: Obtain your learner's permit after passing the theory exam. Practical Driving Lessons & Road Test: Practice driving with a licensed driving instructor or qualified supervising driver, then pass the practical road test at TCD testing grounds.

The TCD road test evaluates: Parallel parking Reversing and maneuverability in tight spaces Controlled supervised driving on public roads (evaluating signalling, speed control, lane positioning, and awareness at roundabouts)

Provide dual-control cars for added safety. We know the exact criteria and maneuvers evaluated by TCD examiners. Teach localized defensive driving techniques essential for Bermuda’s narrow, wall-lined roads and heavy scooter traffic.

The number of lessons depends on individual experience. Complete beginners typically take between 10 to 20 hours of instruction to build confidence with parallel parking, tight reversing, and navigating busy areas like Hamilton traffic and roundabouts.

Yes. And if you need to use the instructor's dual-control car for the official TCD road test for a separate fee.
