Barb, don't think I have seen any Jeeps on Nassau. You really don't need a car there, since there is nowhere to park and there is so much traffic. <BR> <BR>Depending on where you are staying there are buses and cabs, lots of cabs at your convenience. A car will cost $60 a day plus gas, and gas is very expensive in the Bahamas. <BR> <BR>Have a great trip. <BR> <BR>tweedy

Just a bit of advice. Unless you are from a country where you drive on the left hand side of the road, I would strongly caution you(or anyone else) against renting a car in The Bahamas. While riding in vehicles, i.e. taxis, buses, I constantly found myself thinking incorrectly(as if i were driving). I am convinced i would have had a wreck within 5 minutes of being there. It's not that I didn't know what side of the road cars drove on, but driving is such habit and instinct.

I remember when I was in Nassau years ago that the traffic was indeed very heavy and that the locals drive like maniacs. I wouldn't have wanted to drive in that by myself, on top of the fact that they drive on left. <BR> <BR>I would also recommend taking cabs, and though cab drivers drive as crazy as the rest of them, at least they are used to it.

Barb - we did not rent a car while in Nassau but wished that we would have. We spent more on taxi fare in one day than renting a car would have cost us. We never stay right in the center of things, though - so if you are in town, you may very well not need a car. I always rent a car on Grand Bahama and have never had a problem driving. I have to really concentrate the first few minutes in the car before I pull out of the rental parking lot to orient myself, but after that, everything's fine.
