Rent a car near Folly Beach
There's exactly one road onto Folly Beach, and the TG lot is on it. Folly Road runs from James Island over the Folly River and dead-ends at the ocean at Center Street. Our cars sit at 1471 Folly Road, so if you're headed to the Edge of America, pickup is literally on the way.
Staying in a beach house for the week without a car, or sharing one car between six people? Book online before you come, or from the porch when you realize one car isn't enough. Pick your dates on the booking page and every open car shows its rate, and the three-day minimum on most of the fleet fits a beach week anyway.
The convertible earns its keep out here
The Fiat 500c convertible is built for the Folly run: top rolled back over the river at sunset, boards in the back seat, and it's one of the cheapest cars in the fleet. If you're hauling coolers, chairs, and a canopy for a crew, the Range Rover swallows all of it.
Surf check at The Washout, dinner on Center Street, a walk out toward the Morris Island lighthouse at the northeast end. None of it needs a plan. That's the point of having your own keys.

Questions about renting here
Can Folly Beach renters use you instead of the Charleston airport counter?
That's what a lot of Folly Beach renters are doing. You book the car you actually want online ahead of time and collect it at 1471 Folly Road in Charleston instead of queuing on the airport rental row. The airport page covers the trade-off.
How far ahead should I book a car for Folly Beach?
As soon as your Folly Beach dates are settled. The fleet is small, so a booked car is simply gone, and the convertible and the Range Rover go first. The booking page shows open dates live, so a date that displays is a date you can take.
How much does it cost to rent a car in Folly Beach?
Rates are seasonal, so there's no fixed Folly Beach number printed here. Pick your dates on the booking page and every open car shows its rate for those dates, with the deposit and any fees, before you pay.
