Automobiles<\/b>
\nDriving on the island is on the left, British-style, and the maximum speed limit is 15 mph in Hamilton and 21 mph on the rest of the island. Under Bermudian law, non-residents are not allowed to own, rent, or drive four-wheeled vehicles. Non-residents must rely on taxis, buses or rental scooters.<\/p>\n

Buses\/Ferries<\/b>
\nThere is a regular, island-wide public bus and ferry service, and daily and weekly passes are available at the central bus terminal, or Visitors\u2019 Service Bureau or ferry terminal in Hamilton. Schedules can be found in the phone book or by going to:\u00a0Sea Express Ferry Service<\/a><\/p>\n

Scooters
\n<\/b>Rental motor scooters are readily available, and the required helmet is provided.\u00a0 However, visitors should carefully consider whether or not it is worth the risk to ride a scooter.\u00a0 Motor scooters provide the greatest road peril in Bermuda; local operators tend to abuse the speed limit more than other drivers, and they will often pass on the left or right with no warning.\u00a0 Those unfamiliar with driving on the left are likely to find the roundabouts and regulations for yielding at junctions confusing and dangerous.\u00a0 In addition, vehicles often stop on the side of the road, blocking one lane of traffic.\u00a0 Main roads, while generally in good condition, are extremely narrow and tend to be bordered by heavy vegetation or low stone walls.\u00a0 Travelers who rent scooters should be aware that scooter accidents involving visitors are relatively common, and they can sometimes be fatal or involve serious injuries.<\/p>\n

Electric Vehicles<\/strong>
\nNon-residents are not permitted to drive\/rent cars in Bermuda, however small electric vehicles are available to rent. For more information follow this link: https:\/\/www.gotobermuda.com\/inspiration\/article\/bermuda-car-rental-options<\/a><\/p>\n

Taxis
\n<\/b>Taxis are readily available for use across the island, although local rates are somewhat pricey by US standards.<\/p>\n
