Once on an island, taxis are abundant, especially on New Providence and Grand Bahama, while larger islands like Abaco and Eleuthera offer efficient taxi service in major tourist zones. What's more, most airports in the Out Islands (except some to the far south) draw at least a few taxis to meet every flight. Taxis on New Providence and Grand Bahama are metered, but it's wise to establish a set fare before heading out. (Many taxis can be hired for an hourly rate of US$45.) Out Island taxis, except in Marsh Harbour on Abaco, are rarely metered, and are usually hired for long-distance hauls between resorts. Again, it's always a good idea to establish the fare in advance.

Bus service in Nassau is generally excellent, with jitneys serving most of the city as well as the outlying regions of New Providence for the same low fare.

Guests at resort hotels may find renting bicycles a convenient and inexpensive way to explore some islands, with motor scooters and motorcycles for longer trips a possibility. Large resorts often rent guests golf carts to drive around the grounds, and where cays or towns prohibit motor vehicles - such as Treasure Cay and Hope Town on Abaco - golf carts are the vehicle of choice.
