Tortola Car Rentals
Public transportation is very limited on Tortola Island. Tortola car rentals and taxi offer an efficient way of getting around the island. Tortola car rentals come highly recommended and are an excellent means of transportation on an island that can seem a bit daunting to traverse. Most Tortola villas are not within walking distance of the beach, so Tortola car rentals are a must for day trips to the sands. Most guests will find their villas on-island to be a short drive from many sites and activities, though the rugged nature of the island makes a Tortola car rental a much easier option than walking around.

Driving is on the left, British style. A valid foreign or U.S. driver’s license is valid for 90 days but a $10 temporary BVI license must be purchased.
Ferry Service:
The British and Virgin Islands are serviced by inter-island ferry service. Please note, however, that it does not work for guests to fly to St. Thomas and then plan on ferrying over to Tortola as it proves to be quite cumbersome with luggage and attempting to catch flights. The schedules vary according to the day of the week and may be affected by sea conditions, so it’s critical to verify the time of departure.
