Although not necessary, rental cars are available at all airports. Please note there is a $6 fee to cross the bridge onto the island. And there are no gas stations on the island so please plan ahead. Fun Fact: Boca Grande Island is a golf cart friendly/walkable community. If you do not plan on leaving the island, a shuttle or car service from the airport is a great option. This can be organized through the Inn's concierge or directly via one of the following services. Boca Grande Limo www.bocagrandelimo.com Primetime www.primetime4u.com/ Ubers & Lyfts have limited coverage for the area. While they might be an option to get to Boca Grande from the airport, they are not an option when it's time to leave!
Travel Note
All wedding festivities will be in walking distance from the Inn. Golf carts are a fun way to see the island but not required! If you do plan to rent a golf cart, we recommend booking in advance of your trip to ensure availability, or coordinating with friends to share a cart for the weekend. Staying at the Inn?
