Tips For Family Travel in Bermuda
If you’re new to international family travel, I highly recommend checking out our well-researched trip planning resources. It’s full of proven family travel hacks.
- Currency
- The Bermuda currency is called the Bermudian dollar. The Bermudian dollar is on par with the US dollar.
- Both US and Bermudian dollars are accepted in most places. However, change is almost always given in Bermudian dollars.
- Electricity
- The Bermudian electrical system is 110 Volts AC.
- Cellular Phone Service
- Cellular service is available throughout Bermuda. Sim cards can be purchased in most cities. I have used the Airalo eSim app for all of my international travel.
- Roads, Driving and Public Transit
- Visitors to Bermuda are not permitted to rent cars. The only exception to this is Current Vehicles, a small rental company that rents two-person electric cars.
- Scooters are commonly rented by visitors to the island. However, be aware that roads in Bermuda are very narrow and incredibly windy. Accidents are not uncommon.
- Bermuda has an excellent and affordable public transit system that allows you to get nearly everywhere in the country.
- Taxis are usually the easiest way to get around Bermuda. Most taxi drivers also pull double duty as tour guides, so hiring a taxi can also score you excellent information about the country.
How To Stay Connected And Get Internet And Phone Service In Bermuda
Most major cities throughout the Caribbean and Atlantic Islands have excellent cellular service. If you have an older phone, I highly recommend purchasing a sim either at the airport or as one of your first stops on your travels.
If you have a newer eSim capable phone, you can save yourself time by purchasing an eSim ahead of time and having it activated before you arrive.
There are many companies that offer this service. I have used Airalo for years. It has been seamless in over ten countries. They have World, Regional, and Country-Specific eSims available. The price goes down the more specific you get. The regional sims allow for easy country-hopping if you are visiting multiple destinations.
