Barbados / Taxis

Taxis are widely available around Barbados, with taxi stands located at the airport, Bridgetown Harbour, in Bridgetown at Independence Square, Lower Broad Street and Heroes Square, on the South Coast at Accra Beach and on the West Coast at Sunset Crest and the West Coast Plaza. If you have trouble finding a taxi, just walk into the nearest hotel and they should be able to help you.

Taxis are not metered. Instead the fares are fixed and set by the Government of Barbados. However it is always a good idea to confirm the cost of your journey before setting off.
