Getting Around
How to get to and from Grantley Adams International Airport — taxis, public transport, shuttles and car rental.
Transport Options at BGI
Grantley Adams International Airport is connected to Bridgetown and the wider Barbados transport network by multiple ground transport options.
The Transport Board's bus station is on Tom Adams Highway, about a 5-minute walk from the terminal. The standard flat fare is BBD 2.00 one-way on Transport Board buses (exact change, no foreign currency); privately-run minibuses and ZR vans cover similar routes with a conductor who can make change, and may charge somewhat more.
About 280 licensed taxis, identified by a yellow sticker, operate from a government-regulated fare board posted at the airport — expect roughly BBD 74 (about US$23-25) to Bridgetown. Confirm the quoted price with the dispatcher before you get in; cards aren't guaranteed to be accepted.
Uber launched across Barbados on 31 October 2025 — its first entry into the Eastern Caribbean — with Uber Reserve (bookable up to 90 days ahead) pitched specifically for airport transfers. It's brand new here, so driver availability may still be inconsistent compared with more established markets.
Courtesy Car Rentals, Drive-A-Matic and Stoute's Car Rental have desks in the arrivals hall; Alamo, Avis, Europcar, Sixt, Thrifty, Dollar and Budget are also represented, some via off-site delivery.
Uber is too new here to assume it's always available — the government-regulated yellow-sticker taxis, with fares posted at the airport, remain the dependable fallback.
