Timeline: 2–4 months out; confirm a few days before arrival
You need a car — full stop. There is no public transportation in Exuma. Rent one for the moment you land. Note: the cars are basic here. Queen's Highway has potholes, and some beach access roads are unpaved dirt tracks. Car rental and driving won't be the highlight of your trip.
Our trusted picks:
The New Berlies Car Rental
Located just past the main airport turn, connected to the family's liquor store. Let them know your arrival time the day before, and they'll be waiting for you. Tip: If the office looks closed, walk into the liquor store next door — it's run by the same family.
Thompson Car Rental
We've used them before, too, and were happy with them.
Out Island Car Rentals

Other Car Tips:
Drive on the left.
Get an SUV if you can.
Document the condition at pickup. The cars won't be new. Expect scratches, dents, and existing wear. Record a quick video. Note it before you drive off, so there's no confusion on return.
The gas station near the airport is cash only, about 5–10 minutes away. Fill up before you return the car — don't get caught scrambling for cash on departure day.
