REVIEW · NEW PROVIDENCE ISLAND
Roundtrip (LPIA) to Magaritaville, Marriott, Holiday Inn, Hilton
Book on Viator →Operated by Rickyluv Bahamas Taxi and Tour · Bookable on Viator
Airport anxiety ends with a booked ride. This private round-trip airport transfer connects Lynden Pindling International Airport (NAS) to Margaritaville, Marriott, Holiday Inn, Hilton, and downtown Nassau, with an airport meet-and-greet so you can start moving right away.
I also like the practical comfort: an air-conditioned vehicle with onboard Wi‑Fi for a quick 35 to 45 minute hop. A possible drawback is that the grocery or liquor store stop is optional and comes with an additional charge, so build a little extra time if you plan to shop.

NAS to Nassau by Private Car: What Makes This Worth It

This is one of those bookings that quietly removes stress from your trip. Instead of hunting for a taxi line or negotiating rides while you’re tired, you’re matched with a private driver and vehicle for the round trip between NAS and your Nassau destination.
What I’d call the biggest win is the combination of meet-and-greet plus private transport. You’re not trying to figure out where the right car is in a busy arrival hall. And you’re not sharing the ride with random strangers who might be going somewhere completely different.
I also like that the service is designed around a set set of popular Nassau targets—Margaritaville, Marriott, Holiday Inn, Hilton, plus downtown Nassau—so you’re not stuck wondering if your exact hotel is covered. If your priority is simple, reliable movement between airport and hotel, this fits that job very well.

Meet-and-Greet at Arrival: Getting Oriented Without the Detour

The experience starts at the airport. You get an airport pick-up experience with meet-and-greet service, which is especially helpful if it’s your first time arriving in Nassau or you simply don’t want to deal with the airport scramble.
In real terms, a meet-and-greet matters because it shortens the most chaotic part of travel: stepping off the plane, collecting bags, and finding transport. When that part goes smoothly, you can put your energy into the fun part—checking in, grabbing essentials, and heading out.
This service also uses a mobile ticket, which can make it easier for your driver and you to line up details quickly. If your group arrives together, private pickup means fewer moving parts.
The 35–45 Minute Ride: Comfort, Wi‑Fi, and Timing That Actually Helps

The transfer time is listed at 35 to 45 minutes (approx.). That’s a good window to plan around. It’s long enough to settle in, but short enough that you’re not spending half your day just getting from A to B.
Inside the vehicle, you’re riding in an air-conditioned car. Nassau weather can be warm, and air-conditioning keeps the “welcome to the islands” moment from turning into an instant sweat test.
There’s also onboard Wi‑Fi, which is a small detail that adds up. You can check messages, confirm dinner plans, or locate directions for your next stop. It’s a practical touch if you’re coordinating activities or if your group likes to plan as they go.
Nassau Hotel Stops: Margaritaville, Marriott, Holiday Inn, Hilton, and Downtown

This transfer is built around getting you to major Nassau destinations, including Margaritaville, Marriott, Holiday Inn, Hilton, and downtown Nassau.
That coverage is valuable because it aligns with where most people want to be after landing: close to dining, easy strolling, and convenient access to what you came for. If your hotel is in that cluster, the private transfer keeps you from wasting time on extra transfers or backtracking.
One note I’d keep in mind: the service is private, so you’ll be working with one driver and one vehicle for your group. That’s great for convenience. Just make sure everyone is ready at pickup time—private rides don’t wait for a scattered group the way shared shuttles sometimes do.
The Optional Grocery or Liquor Store Stop (Extra Charge)
Here’s a detail I really like for Nassau trips: you can add a stop at a grocery or liquor store along the way for an additional charge.
This is one of those “worth considering” extras. If you want cold drinks in the room, snacks for beach time, or simple breakfast items, doing it on the way from the airport can save you from paying resort convenience-store prices later. It can also help if your schedule is tight and you’d rather shop once than do it after a full day out.
The only catch is time and cost. Since the stop is optional and costs extra, you’ll want to decide if the convenience is worth it for your group. If you’re arriving late or you just want to get checked in fast, you can skip it and go straight to the hotel.
The Human Factor: When Rickey Love Makes It Feel Personal
One of the highest-rated parts of the experience is the transportation experience, with a specific highlight: a driver named Rickey Love. One review praised the driver as wonderful and mentioned that he shared great local spots to try.
That’s more than a nice personality note. Good drivers in Nassau often know the practical reality of where to eat and what’s worth your time. You can use that to shortcut decision-making after landing—especially if you don’t want to spend your first evening doing guesswork.
So when you meet your driver, you’ll get more value if you ask simple questions like what’s good nearby, or what people typically recommend for your exact area. You paid for private service; use it to get a few local leads.
Price and Value: What You’re Paying For at $60 Per Person
The price is $60.00 per person for the round trip. Duration is about 35 to 45 minutes each way, and you’re paying for more than just a ride—you’re paying for a door-to-door experience that includes airport pickup and drop-off plus meet-and-greet.
Value depends on your travel style:
- If you’re traveling with luggage, arriving during a busy arrival window, or you hate planning friction, private transfer value rises fast.
- If you’re solo and comfortable with public options, you might feel less urgency to book private. But you’d still be trading time and uncertainty for savings.
This also tends to be booked ahead, with an average booking window listed as 53 days in advance. That doesn’t mean you can’t book last minute, but it’s a sign people plan this part early. If your trip dates matter, it’s smart to lock in the ride when you can.
Overall, I’d call it a straightforward, low-drama way to handle the airport portion—exactly the part of travel that’s hardest to do calmly.
Practical Notes That Matter Day-of
A few details from the service info are worth keeping in your pocket:
- Service animals are allowed, which can be a big deciding factor for some people.
- The tour is private, so only your group participates.
- Service hours are Monday through Sunday, 5:00 AM to 11:00 PM, which covers most practical arrival and departure times.
- Confirmation is generally received at booking time, unless your booking is very close to travel (then confirmation comes as soon as possible, subject to availability).
- The platform is set up for a mobile ticket, which usually makes pickup smoother.
Also, the experience is listed as near public transportation. That’s not a reason to use this service, but it’s helpful context if you ever need backup plans.
Who Should Book This Transfer (And Who Might Skip It)
This is a great fit if you want:
- A simple airport-to-hotel solution without shared logistics
- A ride that includes a meet-and-greet at NAS
- Comfort features like air-conditioning and onboard Wi‑Fi
- The option to stop for grocery or liquor supplies before you’re fully settled
It might be less compelling if your group is cost-maximizing and already confident navigating local transport on arrival. Since this is a private round trip, you’re paying for convenience and reliability. If that isn’t a priority for you, you can probably find cheaper transport options—but you’ll be trading away some of this comfort.
Should You Book This Nassau Airport Transfer?
If your main goal is to land at NAS and start enjoying Nassau quickly, I think this booking makes sense. The private aspect, the meet-and-greet, and the round-trip coverage remove the biggest unknowns of airport day.
I’d book it especially if you:
- want to avoid decision fatigue after a flight
- care about comfort and basic connectivity (Wi‑Fi)
- think an airport-side stop for supplies could help your plan
If you’re unsure, try this quick filter: can you name how you want your first hour on the island to feel? If the answer is calm, settled, and easy, this transfer delivers that.
