    Arriving at Lynden Pindling International Airport (NAS): Your Transport Guide

    Lynden Pindling International Airport (NAS) is the main gateway to the Bahamas, located on New Providence Island about 16 km west of downtown Nassau. The airport handles over 3.5 million passengers annually and serves as the primary entry point for visitors heading to Paradise Island, Cable Beach, and the Out Islands.

    Every transfer option includes a professional, licensed driver and real-time flight monitoring — so your driver is there even if you land early or late.

    Getting to Your Resort

    • •Paradise Island & Atlantis: 20–30 min drive via the Paradise Island Bridge
    • •Baha Mar & Cable Beach: 15–20 min drive west along the coast
    • •Downtown Nassau: 15–20 min depending on traffic
    • •All major hotels and resorts covered island-wide
    ✈️

    Expert Transfer Tip

    Nassau's taxi fare covers two passengers, not one — a family of four to Paradise Island pays the $45 zone fare plus $5 a head and the $2 bridge toll, not four fares. And on departure day, use the preclearance gift but respect its lines: three hours for US flights.

    Taxi or pre-booked? Do the math.

    Nassau's taxi fares are regulated by zone — and they cover two passengers, not one.

    Regulated NAS taxi

    • Zone fares cover the first TWO passengers: $29 Cable Beach, $36 downtown, $45 Paradise Island plus a $2 bridge toll.
    • Per-person math only starts at passenger three: +$5 each. A family of four to Paradise Island pays $57 one-way.
    • Cash only, per leg — you arrange the return trip separately.
    • Two Paradise Island legs come to $94+ before any bag fees.

    Pre-booked transfer

    • Round-trip private from $67.50 per group covers both legs, with meet & greet.
    • Bridge toll folded in — no curb negotiation on arrival or departure day.
    • Your return pickup is arranged before you land.

    For Paradise Island, a pre-booked round trip beats two taxi legs on price and removes the curb negotiation entirely.

    • •There is no Uber or Lyft in the Bahamas.
    • •Taxis are cash only — USD and BSD trade 1:1.

    🇺🇸

    Departure: US Preclearance

    NAS has US Customs preclearance — you clear US border control in Nassau before you board, then walk off at home as a domestic passenger. Arrive 3 hours ahead of US flights.

    ⚠️

    Watch Out For

    Unofficial taxi drivers will solicit you inside the arrivals hall or before you fully exit customs. They're aggressive but harmless — politely decline and keep walking. Only use drivers from the official taxi rank or your pre-booked transfer. If you booked with us, your driver is already waiting with your name. Stick with that.

    Who Is This Best For?

    Families

    Private transfers with complimentary car seats and flat group rates make getting to Atlantis safe and easy for the whole family.

    Honeymooners & Couples

    Luxury Escalade or limousine transfers set the perfect tone for a romantic getaway to Baha Mar or Paradise Island.

    Couples & Budget Travelers

    The regulated taxi fare covers two passengers, so a couple pays the same $29–45 zone fare as a solo rider — and a round-trip private covers both legs.

    VIP & Business Guests

    Premium meet & greet at customs exit with a Bahama-host certified chauffeur — zero waiting, total privacy.
