KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Nantucket

  • Car rentals in Nantucket allow you to explore the region at your comfort without having to wait for public transport, which can be time-consuming. Renting a car is also beneficial since you can travel anywhere with ease, at your own pace, and enjoy the change of scenery. This gives you comfort and peace of mind, especially if you’re in Nantucket for a vacation. With a nice vehicle from rental cars in Nantucket, you can conveniently visit places such as the Whaling Museum, the Great Point Lighthouse, among other attractions.
  • There are car rentals in Nantucket that operate within Nantucket Memorial Airport premises. One example is Hertz, with an office situated at the rental car counter, which can easily be seen from the Crosswinds Restaurants, as it is located at the south end of the main terminal. Other Nantucket car rentals, such as Avis, Budget, and another Hertz branch are located along the airport route, which is served by ACK Airport Shuttle Service buses that leave the airport every 20min from 10am to 6pm.
  • Nantucket is a small town with about 400 miles of well-maintained public roads. However, 313 miles of roads are privately owned, which are usually less maintained. To avoid accidents on such roads, follow traffic rules and drive at a reasonable speed. Also, during cold seasons, the roads are icy, making them slippery, and the weather foggy, which reduces visibility. When driving under such conditions, turn on the fog lights and maintain a safe distance between cars.
  • In Nantucket, rush hour is early in the morning from 5am to 8am and in the evening from 5pm to 6pm, on weekdays. To avoid the frustrations of getting stuck in traffic, we advise you to travel either before 5pm or after 6pm. In case you have to travel during peak hours, you can use Polposis Road, West Creek Road, or Williams Lane, which are usually less congested. Try to avoid intersections such as Surfside Road, at Vesper Lane, and Orange Street at Union Street.
  • 25% of our users found a car hire in Nantucket for £75 or less
  • Large hire cars in Nantucket are around 38% cheaper than other car types, on average

FAQs about car hire in Nantucket

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Nantucket?

    If you’re planning to drive alone or with your partner around Nantucket, a compact mid-size, fuel-efficient car is preferable. Privately owned roads and some attractions areas located some distance away from the town, such as Siasconset Quaint Fishing and Cottage and the Bluff Walk, may need a more powerful car, such as 4WD.

Other areas such as Milestone Road and Polpis Road have a speed limit of 35mph, while other regions like Monomoy Road have a speed limit of 30mph. Nantucket’s transport department has invested in road signposts across all major roads to enhance traffic safety, so pay careful attention to signs to avoid accidents. Nantucket authorities are strict with their traffic regulations. Therefore, we advise adhering to traffic guidelines at all times.

    Free public parking slots in Nantucket are available at Washington Street, Valet Parking of America at Broad Street, and Town Lot.

Great experience overall. The agent at the counter was helpful and friendly. LOVE that there was so little paperwork. Time at the counter was fast. Still pricey however.

We had to wait to get our car, but it was because we arrived early. The agent was generally fine and took care of our needs. The car was comfortable and served our needs. Drop off was easy at the airport.
