Has anyone use the Hitch app for transportation from Kings Wharf to Horseshoe Bay and/or Hamilton? Hidden costs?

There is no reason to use the Hitch app to go from the Dockyard to either Horseshoe Bay or Hamilton or to any location unless you don't want to pay cash. There are plenty of taxis available at the Dockyard (where Kings Wharf is located). The Hitch app is taxi dispatch app. You are calling for a taxi when you use the app. Your ride is metered, it is not like Uber where you know the cost up front. If you use the Hitch app the taxi fare will have about 15% added on. The best way to get to Hamilton though is by ferry which costs $5, not by taxi. Where the Hitch app could come in handy would be if you are somewhere that don't hang around.

Agree with Charles here-- its very useful in situations where taxis are hard to come by and is much easier than calling a taxi for someone not familiar with Bermuda. Any major hotels will have taxis out front as well as the Dockyard and downtown St Georges so no need to pay the fee when you are in those places. 

 

Hitch is an amazing insurance policy when it comes to peace of mind knowing you have an easy way to get back-- we certainly have ventured further, longer to harder to get to places than we would have not having the app. Its also helpful if you don't want to carry a ton of cash.
