Antigua and Barbuda's transport systems include both public and privately run services. Roads in the country are steep, winding, unpaved. Driving is on the left-hand side. Because there are few traffic signs, driving in unfamiliar areas can be confusing.

The government regulates taxi service, setting fixed fares rather than using a metered system. Taxi cabs are supposed to keep a copy of the rates inside the vehicle. On Antigua, taxis are easily found, particularly at the airport and at major hotels. Many taxi drivers also will act as tour guides.

Buses operate from 5:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. daily on Antigua, running between the capital city, St. John's, and various villages. However, buses do not stop at the airport or the northern tourist area.

Tourists are allowed to rent cars, provided they have a valid driver's license from their home country. They must first purchase a temporary driver's licence, which can often be arranged through rental agencies.

The country's major airport is V.C. Bird Airport, which serves both international and local carriers. Located near St. John's on Antigua's northern coast, all commercial flights to the country first enter at this airport.

Several ports and harbours provide docking for cruise ships, sailboats, yachts, and other boats.
