Travel - Internal
AIR: A small airstrip at Codrington on Barbuda is equipped to handle light aircraft. Carib Aviation operates scheduled flights between Antigua and Barbuda.
SEA: Local boats are available for excursions.
ROAD: There are nearly 1000km (600 miles) of roads in the country, most of which are all-weather. Driving is on the left. The speed limit outside towns is 88kph (55mph). Bus: The bus network is small, the buses infrequent. Taxi: Available everywhere with standardised rates. US Dollars are more readily accepted by taxi drivers. Car hire: This can be organised from your home country but is easy to do on arrival. There are several reputable car hire companies on Antigua (some of which also hire out mopeds and bicycles). Hire rates are for the day and there is no mileage charge. Documentation: Local driver’s permit is necessary. This can be obtained for a small fee (approximately US$12) from police stations on presentation of a valid national driving licence.
