Taxis are readily available at the airport to meet arriving flights. Fares are government-regulated and based on set zones and destinations, not meters. It is recommended to confirm the price with the driver before starting your trip.
Several local and some international car rental agencies operate at the airport. It is highly recommended to reserve a vehicle in advance, especially during peak tourist season. A temporary Nevisian driving permit is required, which can be purchased from the rental agency upon presentation of your valid home driver's license.
There is no direct public bus service from the airport terminal. The island's public transport consists of privately-owned minibuses that run along the main island road. To access this service, you would need to walk a short distance from the airport to the main road. This is an inexpensive option but may be inconvenient with luggage and operates on an informal schedule.
Too bad that one's last memory of a glorious trip to Nevis had to be marred by a cold, rude security staff that gave everyone -- especially locals -- a very hard time, nit-picking, rummaging through luggage by hand to see what they could keep for themselves.
