TAXIS

Taxis are widely available, but always agree on a price and currency before setting off. Most drivers serve as both private taxi drivers and roadside collective taxis, picking up folks alongside the road on a particular route. It’s an inexpensive way to get around the island and it’s a great way to meet people. The downside is that apart from work hours it is sometimes a long wait for a ride.

Phillip, Joe Drive the island with a running commentary.

TRANSPORTATION -- CAR RENTALS

Although car rentals are readily available and reasonably priced at about US $210/week you will have to obtain a Montserrat driving license. Throughout the Eastern Caribbean, the driving license has become a valuable source of governmental income. It has nothing to do with your driving competence; it is simply an added annoyance -- one that is unavoidable. Usually your car rental service will make it as painless as possible. The temporary license costs EC $50.

Airport
Gerald's Airport in the northern part of the island is now operational, replacing the airport lost to the volcanic eruption of Soufriere Volcano in 1997.

WinAir now flies into Montserrat's new airport several times a day on very small planes and this is the only form of transportation to the island, unless you charter a flight on your own (see below). Baggage on these small planes is limited to 40 lbs per person and you will pay extra for excess baggage weight. Be sure to lock all of your luggage securely if it will be cared for by baggage handlers, even your carry-on baggage as that will be taken for storage at the back of the plane. Theft is very common.
