Both Bahamian dollars (BSD) and US dollars are widely accepted in Nassau at a 1:1 value, so there’s no need to exchange US dollars just for your taxi.

1. Welcome will email you your driver’s name, photo, and contact details ahead of your trip.
2. While you’re in the air, your driver follows your flight status and adjusts the pickup time if you’re delayed.
3. Once you’ve collected your luggage, head into the arrivals hall of your terminal.
4. Your driver will be waiting inside arrivals with your name on a sign, ready to help with your bags.
5. From there, they’ll lead you to your pre-selected vehicle and take you directly to your hotel or resort.

What should you look for in a Nassau Airport taxi driver?
Nassau may be compact, but getting around can mean navigating busy downtown streets or crossing onto Paradise Island. A good driver will know the local routes, the airport setup, and the fares that apply to your trip.
What to look for in a Nassau Airport taxi driver:
- -Upfront about the fare: They should follow LPIA’s fixed rates and explain any extra passenger, luggage, or toll charges before you set off.
- -Familiar with the resort areas: From Cable Beach and Downtown Nassau to Paradise Island, your driver should be comfortable navigating the main hotel areas and resort entrances.
- -Accounts for flight delays: If you’re pre-booking a taxi, seek a service that tracks your flight and adjusts your pickup time if your arrival changes.
- -Clear on the Paradise Island crossing: Trips to Atlantis and other Paradise Island resorts involve a bridge toll, which your driver should factor into the fare.
- -Knows how traffic changes through Nassau: An experienced local driver can plan around slower periods and allow enough time for airport drop-offs, as downtown Nassau and the Paradise Island bridges can get busy.
- -Familiar with LPIA: The airport has separate US, International, and Domestic terminal areas, and your driver should take you to the right one when it’s time to fly home.
All Welcome Pickups drivers are vetted and trained. And since your driver is local, you can use the journey to ask about Nassau, get a restaurant recommendation, or pick up a few tips for your stay.
How can I get from Nassau Airport to Atlantis or other popular areas?
You can book a Welcome Pickups transfer from Nassau Airport to Downtown Nassau and Bay Street, Cable Beach and Baha Mar, or Paradise Island and Atlantis, with prices starting from $53 (€45.69).
Downtown Nassau and Bay Street: The drive from Nassau Airport takes around 20 minutes in normal traffic. Bay Street runs through Downtown and past the cruise port, so the area can get busier when several ships are in port. Check the cruise schedule when planning your return transfer, especially if you’re heading to the airport during the day.
Cable Beach and Baha Mar: The transfer from LPIA takes around 10 to 15 minutes. Baha Mar has several hotels within the resort complex, so enter the exact address when you book, and your Welcome driver can take you straight to the correct hotel entrance.
Paradise Island and Atlantis: A taxi from Nassau Airport to Paradise Island takes around 30 minutes, crossing the bridge from New Providence to the island. Your bridge toll is included in your prepaid Welcome fare, and your driver will take you directly to your hotel or Atlantis drop-off point.
And if you’re flying back to the US, remember that LPIA has US preclearance. You’ll clear US immigration and customs in Nassau before boarding, so factor that extra airport time into your return transfer.
What should I know about Nassau Airport taxis?
- Check the fare for your destination before you get in. LPIA publishes taxi rates for the main areas around Nassau, so have a quick look at the official price and confirm it with your driver before leaving the airport.
- Don’t count on Uber or Lyft as a backup. Rideshare services don’t currently operate in Nassau, so if you’d rather not use the airport taxi rank, arrange your ride before you land.
- Ask how you can pay before setting off. Not every Nassau Airport taxi takes cards, so it’s worth checking first. US dollars are accepted at the same 1:1 value as Bahamian dollars, and keeping a few smaller bills makes paying in cash easier.
- Tip if you’re happy with the service. It’s optional, but around 10% to 15% is a common guideline for Nassau taxi drivers.
- Most Nassau taxis are vans or larger vehicles seating 6 to 10 passengers, which can make them a practical option for groups traveling together.
