Common Mistakes & Airport Scams to Avoid

  • Waiting for a public bus (Jitney) at the airport — public Jitney buses do not serve the airport property; taxis or private vans are required.
  • Taxis do not use meters; the Bahamian government enforces fixed zone rates based on 2 passengers (e.g., ~$32 to Cable Beach, ~$45 to Paradise Island + bridge toll). Confirm the total fare and bag fees with the curbside dispatcher before getting in.
