On the islands

  • Route taxis and minibuses are cheap and frequent on Barbados, Jamaica, Saint Lucia and Trinidad.
  • Taxis often use fixed zone fares: agree the price first.
  • Car hire is best for exploring; compare prices.
  • Inter-island flights fill the gaps where there are no ferries; see flights.
