What To Expect

Hop in your very own open-top 4x4 UTV for an exciting day of exploring Nassau. First, choose your rental length and then ride off into Nassau, exploring the sites. Visit the stone stairway, Queen's Staircase, the 65 steps symbolizing each year Victoria was queen. Or spend some time on beautiful Arawak Cay and stop for some local grub and a drink at 'Fish Fry,' as locals call it: a collection of eateries serving local specialties. Don't pass up Fort Charlotte, the largest of the three forts on the island. The late-18th-century fortress was built by Lord Dunmore. See some evidence of very early life on the Bahamas at the Caves where 10th-century inhabitants lived.

The UTV adventure and rental ends when you drop it off at the departure point.

"Renting from Bowcar was an absolute pleasure! The Buggy I rented was spotless and well-maintained, making my journey comfortable and enjoyable. The staff was incredibly friendly and efficient, great rental experience from start to finish. The online booking process was easy and secure. Plus, the option to add extras like a GPS navigation system was convenient. Overall, I highly recommend Bowcar

Great Way to Explore the Island!

Heather_F, Mar 2024

We loved being able to explore the island on our own schedule. Our kids loved riding in the buggy and feeling the wind in their hair. The team was great, too. They picked us up from the cruise port and set us up with the information we need. Super friendly and easy to work with. Loved the whole thing and would absolutely do it again!

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Great experience. I would highly recommend!

Erik_F, Jan 2024

Great experience. Really enjoyed being able to see the island at our own pace. The recommendation for Clifton Heritage national park for off-roading was amazing. We were some of the only people at the entire park which let us enjoy pristine beaches without crowds. I wish I could change two things: 1: when reserving online, there were only two time slots available (9AM and 1PM). Our ship arrived at 10:30 so it made a full day rental (which we wanted to do) impossible. Adding flexible START times to the rental would be great. 2: our GPS was in Spanish😂. We were able to figure it out but it certainly made it challenging. Overall it was a great experience that I would do again in a heartbeat! Well done!

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Joshua_C, Jan 2024

Great experience! Went on a Bahamas cruise with family (6 people), got a 6 hour rental. Flexible start time because it takes a while for the whole family to mobilize and get off the cruise (also had a foldable wheelchair). Bowcar rental booth is right at the end of the port. They take you on a shuttle to their site with ATVs and the buggy cars. Insurance is a $500 deposit that is returned to you if car brought back in the same condition. They also give you a GPS that is easy to use (Garmin) and lets you get around the island. We took the car to the west end of the island to see Jaws beach. Just keep in mind that there is no windshield so it will get windy at higher speeds. Overall very friendly workers, clean car that ran without issues, and was a great choice to allow for flexible exploration of the island.

Hi Joshua_C, Nothing delights us more than reading a very detailed review of the services we provide. Thank you for your comments about our friendly staff and well-maintained vehicles. Kind regards, Desire

Great!

Mayawkh, Jan 2024

The buggy is super clean and it was quite easy to find their booth outside the port. I would recommend renting it for 6 hours in case you plan to explore further away from the downtown and if you plan to swim for a while. We regret taking it for 6 h as the weather was cold and the water was freezing. We also rented the GPS which was quite helpful. The only downside is that there is no place to park it downtown!! We only used it for 5 hours and then we went back to the drop off location and asked them to drive us to the downtown. By the way, the downtown is right across the port so you don’t need a car by then.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Dear Mayawkh, Thank you for you review about not only our equipment. It was a pleasure to host you and we look forward to hosting you again soon! Regards Racquel

Awesome

bethgreulich, Dec 2023

The buggy drove really well and was a lot of fun! They provided us with a suggested itinerary and a GPS to get us there. We had a blast! I highly recommend this method of exploring Nassau

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Hello bethgreulich, Sounds like you had a wonderful time with us! Thank you for your raving review and recommendation. We hope to have you back with us soon! Kind regards, Desire

Very frustrating

Ellen_W, Dec 2023

It was very difficult to find the pick up spot. They didn’t care. Don’t pay in advance. There are better deals at the port.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Dear Ellen_W, Thank you for providing feedback regarding your experience with Bowcar. We will take your comments under consideration as we always look for ways to improve our guest experience. Thank you again for your feedback. Regards, Racquel

Great time!

Nallely_A, Dec 2023

The road buggy was very fun! It was nice, new, and clean! The staff was great and very helpful! I would recommend either renting for a longer period or staying close by as some of the nicer beaches are about 45 min plus away. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was because we rented the GPS and there wasn't a holder for it. So as we were driving it just kept sliding around. Also, the GPS itself kept going fuzzy and turning off which caused us to have to pull over quite a bit and wait for it to come back on and work again. Overall the experience was great and we got to explore some awesome places with it. I would definately recommend.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

We thank you for your choosing Bowcar and for your time and effort to review your experience with us. We apologize for the inconvenience of the GPS and the holder noting all issues. Your recommendation is appreciated. Kind regards, Desire

Fun in the sun!

Shawna_R, Nov 2023

After the GPS got us lost in what looked to be an unsafe area, we returned the ATV after about 10 minutes. We gave up. But the workers encouraged us to try again. One escorted us to the west coast roads. After that it was a great experience. I would use phone GPS in addition to the ATV gps bc it wasn’t reliable. Lots of one way streets in town. Overall, it was a great purchase and fun exploring the island!

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Hi Shawn... Thank you for the review! I think our staff is the best! Thank you so much for your kind words about them.

Truly Fun! Go for the GPS and the 6 hours!!

Daren_G, Aug 2023

We choose this as a port excursion to do with our 10-year old son. This was a great way to get around Nassau. Our only discontent was not being given a list of locations to visit. I later read that locations are pre-programmed into the GPS (for $10 extra), which I wish we would have gotten so that we didn't have to rely on our own Apple Maps. We rented the vehicle for 4 hours, thinking that would be enough time, but in hindsight, we should have taken the 6 hour option so that we didn't rush from one location to the next. The vehicle was very clean (seemed brand new, no scuffs or marks). Bluetooth speakers were nice and easy to connect to. Driving the vehicle was also very smooth and easy to do, even if we had to drive on the left. Bring some cash to pay for the bridge toll over ($2). Apart from this, the staff were incredibly friendly, and the shuttle to and from the port was very efficient. We waited no less than 10 minutes.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Hi Daren_G Thank you for choosing Bowcar as your port excursion. When prebooking in the future, please select the option that offers GPS and one will be provided for you. We appreciate your kind reviews about our vehicles and hospitality, as our aim is to provide the best customer service.

Michelle_S, Aug 2023

We had a great time they picked us up with no wait it was a little hard to find their booth getting off the cruise ship at first but once we found them they took us to the to the rental place and within 5 mins we were off on our own. The vehicles were fast we got ours up to 65 mph. Strongly recommend sunglasses since there is no windshield. We took our 4 children and we all had a great time. We went to Jaws Beach and the Caves. We got to see a lot of the island!

It was a pleasure to host you and your family and we look forward to hosting you again soon! Regards, Racquel

Buggy Fun & Open Adventures

Regina_L, Aug 2023

Upon our arrival to the Bahamas cruise port, Bowcar customer service was great! The buggy was clean and the Bowcar team had great spirits. No mechanical issues with our buggy. We purchased the GPS and it was so helpful. We were able to plan our day for what we wanted to do. Also, give your time to check-in when you arrive. Definitely will rent from Bowcar again.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Driving and exploring through Nassau was an awesome experience! The vehicle was new and easy to drive. If it had a phone holder so you can use the gps it would have been perfect. Remember to stay left when driving!
