Tortola Getting there & around

Getting around

Public transportation is nonexistent so people either rent cars or make use of the efficient taxis. Although everything looks close on the map, the ruggedness of Tortola’s topography makes for slow travel.

Car & motorcycle

Car

There are several local car-rental agencies on Tortola. High-season rates begin at about US$55 per day, and can run as high as US$90, but you’ll get a better price for a weekly rental.

Hertz Airport (495-6600); Road Town (494-6228; www.hertzbvi.com)

Itgo Car Rentals (494-5150; Road Town) Good prices; located at Wickhams Cay 1.

Jerry’s Car Rental (495-4111; www.info-res.com/jerryjeep; West End) A good option if you’re coming in on a West End ferry. Jerry will pick you up at the dock.
