If you require a car when visiting Blue Bayou, we suggest
Coconut Cars...
A network of public and private buses circles the island. Rides cost U.S. $.75, regardless of destination. To visit a specific restaurant or beach, your best bet is a taxi. Mr. Push Button Taxi Cab Service is reliable and conscientious (246-238-5593).
For activities, many outfitters provide shuttle service to and from hotels. To explore the island and its coast, though, you'll want your own car. All rental fleets in Barbados are privately owned. A $5 registration fee is required of all foreign licence holders, and most rental agencies implement a maximum driving age of 75. Driving is on the left-side. Road signs can be confusing, and are likelier to point the way to a specific destination than to give the names of individual roads.
