If you're staying at a big resort and plan to remain on-site for the majority of your trip, then taking a taxi to off-site attractions is more cost effective than shelling out money for a rental. (Rideshare apps like Uber and Lyft are not available in the Bahamas.)

Yes, Uber is available in the Bahamas, specifically within the capital city of Nassau and on Paradise Island. As of early 2026, the service has become a popular alternative to traditional taxis for tourists traveling between the airport (NAS), downtown cruise ports, and major resorts like Atlantis or Baha Mar. While the app functions just as it does in other countries, it is important to note that the fleet is primarily concentrated in these high-traffic urban areas; you likely won't find Uber drivers on the less populated "Out Islands" like Eleuthera or Exuma. Using Uber in Nassau offers the advantage of upfront, transparent pricing in the app, which helps visitors avoid the often-unpredictable flat rates or negotiations common with local cab drivers. Most Uber vehicles in the Bahamas are clean, late-model sedans or SUVs, providing a reliable and safe "on-demand" way to navigate the island's bustling streets.
