Hilton Head has no public transit system — a rental car is standard, though the island's flat layout and 50+ miles of paved bike paths make bikes a genuinely practical way to get around once settled in. Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport (SAV) in Savannah, GA is the nearest major airport, about 45 minutes away; Hilton Head Airport (HXD) handles small regional flights. Ride-share (Uber/Lyft) coverage is thinner than in major cities, especially late at night.
