Getting Around

There's no official bus stop at the arrivals terminal. Budget travelers walk out along the exit road, past the taxi rank, to the roundabout near the edge of the airport property, where jitney (local minibus) routes 12/12B pass heading toward Bay Street and downtown — flag one down and check the route number in the windshield. Fares run roughly $1.50–2.50 in cash (US dollars accepted at par, but drivers often lack change for large notes). Service generally runs from about 6–7am to 7–8pm only, with long gaps possible, and drivers may refuse large suitcases, so this really only suits light luggage.

Taxis use published fixed zone fares rather than meters: roughly $32 to downtown Nassau, $22 to Cable Beach, and $38 to Paradise Island (which adds a $2 bridge toll). Each extra passenger beyond the first is about $4 and each extra bag about $2.

Major international chains operate from the terminal, so renting a car on arrival is straightforward if you want to explore New Providence independently.
