Airport Transportation in Nassau

Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Lynden Pindling International Airport to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.

After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.

Airport transportation in Nassau takes you from Lynden Pindling International Airport to resorts and rentals on Cable Beach, in downtown Nassau and across the bridge on Paradise Island, as well as to Lyford Cay and South Ocean on the west of New Providence.

Nassau Airport Transfers

Our Nassau airport transfers start outside the International Arrivals Terminal, where your driver waits after customs with a sign bearing your name. Flying in from another Bahamian island? You come out on the lower level of the International & Domestic Departures Terminal, so give us your flight details and your driver meets you there. We follow your flight, so the pickup moves with your real landing time.

Choose a vehicle sized for your party, from a sedan for two to a van for a family or group, and each Nassau airport transfer goes door to door to your resort, hotel, villa or the cruise port downtown.

Nassau Airport Shuttle

Our Nassau airport shuttle is a private van for your party only: it leaves as soon as you are through customs and goes straight to your resort, with no stops at other hotels along the way. There is room for suitcases, golf bags and beach gear, so it suits families, groups and wedding parties heading to Cable Beach or Paradise Island.

Landing at Nassau Airport

Lynden Pindling International Airport (NAS) is the main airport of Nassau and The Bahamas, on the western side of New Providence island. It has three terminals within walking distance of each other: the International Arrivals Terminal, the U.S. Departures Terminal and the International & Domestic Departures Terminal.

All international flights, including those from the United States, arrive at the International Arrivals Terminal. Bahamas Immigration is your first stop, then you collect your bags and pass through Bahamas Customs. Flights from the Family Islands arrive on the lower level of the International & Domestic Departures Terminal.

Nassau is on Eastern Time (UTC-5) and moves to UTC-4 for daylight saving time from March to November.

Entry requirements and local notes

Entry documents. You need a valid passport and the paper immigration and customs forms. The Bahamas Travel Health Visa was eliminated in June 2022, and a digital arrival card is being piloted on selected flights alongside the paper forms.

Customs declarations. Declare food, plants and other restricted items at Bahamas Customs to avoid delays on arrival.

US preclearance on the way home. Flights to the United States leave from the U.S. Departures Terminal, where you clear US immigration and customs before boarding, so allow extra time for that step when you plan your ride back.

Bahamian dollar. The Bahamian dollar is at par with the US dollar, and US dollars are accepted throughout Nassau.

Nassau Airport Transportation FAQs

Where will my driver meet me at Nassau Airport?

Your driver waits outside the International Arrivals Terminal exit after customs, holding a sign with your name. If you arrive on a domestic flight from another Bahamian island, you come out on the lower level of the International & Domestic Departures Terminal; give us your flight details so your driver meets you there.

How far is Nassau Airport from downtown Nassau and Paradise Island?

Lynden Pindling International Airport is about 14 km (8.7 miles) west of downtown Nassau, roughly 20 minutes by road without traffic. Paradise Island is about 14 miles from the airport, roughly 25 to 30 minutes, and traffic near downtown can add time.

Can you take me to Paradise Island?

Yes. We drive you across the bridge to resorts, hotels and rentals on Paradise Island. Give us the full address or resort name when you book.

Can you take me to Cable Beach?

Yes. Cable Beach lies on the north shore between the airport and downtown Nassau, and your driver takes you straight to your resort or rental there.

Can you take me to downtown Nassau or the cruise port?

Yes. Enter your downtown hotel or the Prince George Wharf cruise port as your drop-off when you book, and your driver takes you straight there.

Can you take me to Lyford Cay or South Ocean?

Yes. Lyford Cay and South Ocean are on the west of New Providence, the same side of the island as the airport. Give us the villa or resort address when you book.

Can you take me to the Exumas, Eleuthera or Andros?

The Out Islands are reached by domestic flights from the International & Domestic Departures Terminal at the same airport, not by road. If you stay a night in Nassau between flights, we can take you to your hotel and back.

Which terminal will I arrive at in Nassau?

All international flights, including those from the United States, arrive at the International Arrivals Terminal. Domestic flights from the Family Islands arrive on the lower level of the International & Domestic Departures Terminal.

No. The Bahamas eliminated its Travel Health Visa in June 2022. You need a valid passport and complete the paper immigration and customs forms, and a digital arrival card is being piloted on selected flights.

Should I buy transportation from the drivers outside the terminal?

There is no need. Your ride is booked before you fly and your driver waits outside arrivals with your name, so you can walk straight to your vehicle.

What happens if my flight to Nassau is delayed?

We follow the arrival of the flight on your reservation, so your pickup adjusts to a delay. If your flight number, date or airline changes, or your flight is canceled, tell customer service so we can move your pickup.

Can I book a ride back to Nassau Airport?

Yes. Book a ride from your resort or villa and give us your flight time. Flights to the United States leave from the U.S. Departures Terminal, where you clear US preclearance before boarding, so allow time for it.

Nassau is on Eastern Time, UTC-5, and moves to UTC-4 for daylight saving time from March to November, the same as New York and Miami.
