comcox Posted June 25, 2010 #1 Share Posted June 25, 2010 We will be docking in Bridgetown in December where we've been twice before. We have a list of places we would like to visit but wondered whether renting our own car or taking a taxi tour would be the best approach. Has anyone driven from Bridgetown out around the island? How easy is it to navigate the traffic? Has anyone had problems going the taxi route? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted June 26, 2010 #2 Share Posted June 26, 2010 I would go with a taxi. I just think it's a lot easier and far less to worry about. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaribbeanEdge Posted June 27, 2010 #3 Share Posted June 27, 2010 I would suggest that you determine your priorities before making a decision about taking a taxi or renting a car. Barbados is a beautiful island to explore on your own and the driving is fairly easy. There can be traffic up and down the west coast roads and Bridgetown so be sure to leave a good bit of extra time when returning to the ship. That said - if you have much that you want to do it will be much easier and less stressful with a driver in that you will not have to worry about getting lost. You'll be able to get more done but you'll pay a decent amount for the service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the taxi thing rather than try driving on the left/wrong side of the road on narrow roads with not-great road markings and indeterminate edges in many spots. :) IF you're a well-coordinated driver, and if you've driven in England you might make out OK but otherwise you're probably better off with a taxi driver who knows this wacky road system where all main roads radiate out of Bridgetown :cool: (but there are connecting cross-roads,where gullies allow them..) .
