What to know before your transfer at Nassau Airport (NAS)
Tolls, charges, terminal pickup zones and local rules that affect your private transfer at Nassau Airport (NAS).
Meeting Point at Nassau Airport
Your driver meets you at the Arrivals Hall baggage-hall exit in your assigned terminal (A or B), holding a name sign. Free 60-minute wait for flight delays; the driver monitors your flight in real time and adjusts to any terminal changes at no extra cost.
Bridge Toll Included in Fixed Price
The $2 Paradise Island bridge toll is included in your Transfeero fixed price. No other tolls exist on the route to Nassau. No hidden charges, congestion fees or emission zone costs apply anywhere in the Bahamas.
Drive Time to Downtown Nassau
West Bay Street and JFK Drive connect the airport to downtown Nassau, typically 15 minutes in normal traffic. During cruise ship arrival days (mid-morning to early afternoon), congestion on Bay Street can extend the journey to 45 minutes. Your driver navigates the fastest route based on real-time conditions.

Child seats are provided free on request at booking. Cancel your transfer free of charge up to 24 hours before pickup. No cancellation fees, no exceptions. Your booking is fully flexible until one day before departure.
Transfer insights for Nassau Airport
Nassau Airport has three terminals: Terminal A serves domestic arrivals, while Terminal B handles all international flights. After passing through Immigration on Level 1 of Terminal B, passengers collect baggage on the lower level and exit into the Arrivals Hall, where your driver will meet you holding a name sign at the baggage-hall exit. The airport forecourt is well organized, with designated zones for taxis, shuttles and private transfers, and no pickup charges apply.
The journey from Nassau Airport to downtown Nassau covers approximately 14 kilometres along West Bay Street and JFK Drive, the island's busiest corridor. In normal conditions, the drive takes 15 minutes; however, during cruise ship days—particularly mid-morning to early afternoon—congestion on Bay Street and the Cable Beach corridor can extend the journey to 45 minutes. Your driver will navigate these patterns and adjust your route as needed, monitoring real-time traffic conditions.
There are no tolls on Nassau's public roads except the Paradise Island bridge, which charges $2 per crossing and is included in your fixed Transfeero price. The Bahamas has no emission zones or congestion charges, so no hidden fees will apply to your journey. Your pre-booked transfer price covers every charge on the route, giving you certainty from the moment you land.
Official airport taxis cost approximately $32 for two passengers, with queuing times of 10–20 minutes during peak hours. The jitney bus service (Route #12) costs around $3 per person but requires a 15-minute walk from the terminal to the main roundabout and offers no luggage assistance. Transfeero's private transfer provides direct door-to-door service with a driver who knows the airport inside out, greets you by name, and handles your luggage—eliminating the stress of queues, surcharges and navigating unfamiliar routes.
