RENTAL CARS
Virtually everyone who comes to Eleuthera needs to rent a car. It is a long island with much to see and do, walking and biking on the main roads is dangerous, and if you want to see even some of the 135 beaches, go to the grocery store or to restaurants, you really need a car! Trust usโฆget a car. Actually, get an SUV, as the clearance is helpful on the rough beach roads.
There are no big car rental agencies on the islandโฆbasically, you rent a car from an individual. All of these cars are older and well-used. In fact, if you get one with less than 100,000 miles you are lucky. Prices are about $70/day ($60/day if you rent by the week). Jeeps are $10/day more and minivans are $20/day more.
Handy Tips: On the island, Jeep is a generic term used to describe all SUVs. If you want to rent a Jeep Wrangler, you need to be very specific about that.
ย In Eleuthera, rental cars have white or yellow license plates denoted with an โSD.โ This means that you are in a legal rental car. We DO NOT recommend renting a car from a homeowner who does not have an SD car. You wonโt have liability insurance and it is actually illegal for them to rent to you.

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
We are a family of four and we live in the United States. Our passion for the Island of Eleuthera started in 2003 when we first went there on vacation.
We went back the year after as we really loved those pink sand beaches and the friendly local people.
