named Bermuda International Airport.

5

The Bermuda International Airport is located in St. George, approximately 35 minutes from The Fairmont Southampton.

RENTAL CARS AND BUSES

Bermuda must be about the only place left in the world where visitors cannot rent automobiles. Why not? Tourist

safety on unfamiliar, often narrow, winding, sharply twisting roads, is cited as the main reason. Another factor is

Bermuda's very small physical size and fourth-largest population per square mile in the world (after Gibraltar,

Hong Kong and Monaco). Buses and taxis are readily available for guests to get around the island. Bus tokens are

available at the Concierge Desk and Hotel Front Desk.

TAXI FARE

Taxis are available at the airport, hotel, City of Hamilton, and are available by calling the Bermuda Taxi Association

at 441-296-2121. Taxi fare from Airport is approximately $40.00 USD, plus tip (1-4 persons) and is a 30 minute

drive each way.

Shuttles

Shuttle service to and from the airport can be arranged by making online reservations at

http://bermudalimo.com or by calling directly to 441-234-4366. Rates are subject to change without notice.

MOPED RENTALS
