Getting around Turks & Caicos

Getting about the Turks and Caicos means a hire car, a taxi, a scooter or a bicycle — those are what the Tourist Board lists for the islands. Taxis and community cabs carry no meter: a fare varies with the distance and is charged per passenger, so agree it before you set off. Between the islands, the inter-island ferry leaves Walkin Marina at Leeward on Providenciales for North Caicos five times a day. Traffic keeps to the left.
