Latest Manama hotel reviews
From Airport to Central Manama (Bahrain International Hotel/Bab al Bahrain) BD5 .00 to 7.00 Around US$14.00 to 18.00 depending on Bargaining, Yes, if you get on without asking the cost you will be charged higher, there is no meter and no fixed fare. The normal price was BD2.5 to 3 but they suddenly increased it more then double.
Some Hotels Provide Complimentary Pick and Drop, and I heared there is a shuttle bus service as well but have'nt seen or used it yet.

In Bahrain, taxi drivers are mainly locals and to me, this is really the problem why taxi are so expensive and ineffective in Bahrain.
In other Gulf countries, taxi are driven by foreigners and they respect the rules established by the local authorities. In BH, systematically, the driver will refuse to put on the meter and will try to cheat you badly !
My advice, rent a car or ask your hotel the fair ! the main intl hotel have a fixed price for taxi ride. For example, from Gulf to the Airport, the price is 4 BD and not 10 as one driver ask me !
