Mandango Posted September 4, 2023 #1 Share Posted September 4, 2023 We're considering renting a car for the day. Where is the nearest place to the port to rent cars? Any tips for a self-guided day of touring? Thank you in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookbabe Posted September 4, 2023 #2 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Most car rentals are at the airport. Andy’s has a Seven Mile Beach location, and I think there used to be one other local company that had a spot downtown, but I don’t know if that one survived the lockdown. The airport is easy enough to get to by taxi, or you could check if your favourite international chain has a port pickup option. As for what to do, a car rental is most useful if you want to explore the further parts of the island from the port. I don’t recommend it for things like Seven Mile Beach, Hell or the turtle farm, that’s much easier by taxi or bus. What types of things were you interested in seeing? Party makeup? A little more detail will help guide my responses, please. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully, someone else posted. We have a car, so I never take the bus. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were actually looking into doing that possibly just to explore as we really haven't been on that side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots to see and do outside of George Town and SMB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kona_wahine Posted January 15 #8 Share Posted January 15 (edited) Thank you for the bus link Vettebuff! We will be there in a couple weeks and this is super helpful. Do they announce stops? I’m thinking we might go to Hell (🤣) first and then back to public beach for the rest of the day. Or would Governors Beach be better? We would like somewhere where we can get something to drink, (soda water maybe a beer). Knowing we want the yellow bus makes it less worrisome.
