Summerville is the farthest inland area we list and the biggest by population. Main Street and Hutchinson Square are the center of it, Azalea Park is the one everybody names, and US-17A and I-26 are how people get in and out.
It's also about 45 minutes from our lot on Folly Road. Worth being straight about that rather than pretending otherwise.
When it doesn't make sense
If you need a plain errand car for two days and you live in Summerville, the drive down is probably not worth it. There are closer options, and we would rather say so.
When it does
When the car is the point. The convertible for a weekend in good weather. The Silverado EV for a project a counter won't rent you a truck for. The Rolls-Royce Ghost for a wedding.
Those are cars you can't get from a counter at any distance, which makes the 45 minutes easier to justify.
The route
Down I-26 and around through North Charleston or West Ashley to Folly Road. If you're on the airport end of town, the I-26 run is the quicker half.
