Renting a car in Bermuda is not an option; there is no such service. That being so, getting around Bermuda takes a bit of thought and pre-planning. If you’re over the age of 16, you can rent a moped or a bicycle; a driver’s license is not required. The only difficulty, depending on what part of the world you live in, is riding on the left side of the road. Bicycles and mopeds are cheap to rent, convenient, easy to park, and no destination is too far away. You’ll find bikes to rent at most hotels and at all of the cycle shops. Touring the island by bicycle allows you to really absorb the beauty that surrounds you. The Royal Naval Dockyard at the West End of the island is less than two hours from the city of Hamilton by bicycle. If the ride back is more than you can handle, you can return by ferry. The daily rate for a bicycle ranges from $20 to $35; for a moped it’s $40 to $50 per day, and it’s less expensive if you rent by the week.
