Rent a car for Sullivan's Island
Sullivan's Island is small on purpose. Middle Street is the commercial strip, the beach accesses run by station number, and there's no rental counter anywhere on the island. Anyone staying out here who needs a car is driving off the island to get one, which is where we come in.
The drive from the island to the lot
Off the island over the Ben Sawyer Bridge, through Mount Pleasant, over the Ravenel, then down Folly Road. Around 30 minutes. Fort Moultrie is at the west end near Breach Inlet, and the lighthouse is on that same stretch, so if you're staying near Station 18 you're starting from the far side of the island.
What people rent it for
Sullivan's Island trips tend to be short and social. Dinner on Middle Street, a day at the beach, a run into Charleston for the evening. The Fiat 500X handles that and is one of the cheaper cars on the lot. When the group is bigger or the plan includes a day out at Boone Hall or the beach on Isle of Palms, the Range Rover is the one that fits everybody.
Parking on the island is street parking, and it's tight in season. A smaller car is genuinely easier to place near the stations than a full-size SUV.
