Chauffeur service across Antigua and Barbuda: what to know

V. C. Bird International Airport (ANU), on the north-east coast of Antigua, receives direct flights from the USA, Canada and the UK. It is about 8 km from St John's, and most resorts are within 15-45 minutes. Your chauffeur meets you at the designated pick-up area outside the terminal. A greeting inside the arrivals hall with a name board is an add-on, and add-ons are only available in selected locations. Your flight is tracked, and arrivals from abroad receive an hour of waiting that starts when the aircraft actually lands. Cruise passengers step ashore at the Heritage Quay and Nevis Street piers in St John's.

Visa rules depend on nationality, and many visitors enter visa-free for short stays. Passports, return tickets and accommodation details are checked on arrival. The Government of Antigua and Barbuda publishes current entry requirements.

Main routes by car on Antigua

The island is small, but roads are narrow and winding, so allow more time than the distance suggests.

Barbuda, about 60 km north, is reached by ferry or a short flight. Chauffeured transfers are arranged on Antigua itself, with the chauffeur timed to the ferry terminal or the airport.

Driving in Antigua: roads, weather and events

Antigua drives on the left. Speed limits are low, roads are often unlit at night, and goats and potholes are common on country routes. Cruise days fill St John's with taxis and tour buses between roughly 8 am and 5 pm. The Atlantic hurricane season lasts from June to November, and storms around Antigua are most likely between August and October. Gratuity and any parking fees are charged at the actual amount.

• Late July to early August: Carnival, ending with the parades on the first Monday and Tuesday of August.
• November 1: Independence Day.

Booking tips for Antigua

Several long-haul flights can land close together at V. C. Bird, so immigration queues vary, and flight tracking plus included waiting absorbs the delay. Jumby Bay guests are driven to the resort's jetty for the boat, while Carlisle Bay and Curtain Bluff on the south coast are the longest drives on the island. Yacht crews joining boats at Falmouth Harbour can book a van for kit and provisions. For a south-coast tour taking in Shirley Heights and Nelson's Dockyard, an hourly booking with a 3-hour minimum works well. On Antigua, vetted local affiliates drive every trip, and each confirmation carries the operator's and chauffeur's names.
