There are daily 20-minute flights between Antigua and Codrington Airport in Barbuda. There is no airport bus service from Antigua's airport, but taxis are available. Taxi fares are regulated by the government, but confirm the fare with the driver in advance. Buses from St John's to Falmouth and English Harbour are plentiful, cheap, and take about 30 minutes. Many sport colourful names like 'Could Be Dangerous' - these might get you from one side of the island to the other faster than you'd like. There's no bus service to Dickenson Bay or other resort areas on the northern part of the island, and there are very few buses anywhere on Sunday.

There are more than a dozen car rental agencies on Antigua, most of them with representatives at the airport. To drive, you need to buy a temporary 90-day license, which is usually obtainable from rental agents and from the Inland Revenue Department in St John's. Simply show your home license and pay $20.00. Driving is on the left side. Motorcycles and scooters can be rented in Jolly Harbour, and bicycles are for rent in Jolly Harbour and Hodges Bay.

Tiny Barbuda has neither public transportation nor an established taxi service, but you might be able to arrange to hire someone to drive you around. Vehicle rental is another option, although the individuals who rent out vehicles change from time to time and tracking them down can be tricky. There's no scheduled passenger boat service to Barbuda, but if you want to try your luck hitching with a private yacht, check around at the marinas, local tour agencies and hotels on Antigua. Day junkets are available to Barbuda from Antigua; check with local tour agencies and hotels for schedules and prices. Be aware that Barbuda has a reputation for tours that fail to materialise, so confirm all reservations.
