Eleuthera Car Rental and Eleuthera Airport Information

The closest Eleuthera airport is GHB (Governor’s Harbour) 8.5 miles south of the house. The 2nd closest airport is ELH (North Eleuthera) about 30 miles north. At the airport you can pick up your car rental or the Caretaker may be waiting for your arrival to drive you to the home.

The closest Eleuthera airport is ELH (North Eleuthera Airport) about 10 miles south of the properties. After arriving to the airport, you will then need to take a car taxi to the Spanish Wells Ferry Dock (Gene's Bay) in North Eleuthera, There you can board the 5-minute government ferry that takes you over to Spanish Wells. Many of our guests use a local taxi service arranged from Pinder’s Supermarket in Spanish Wells that combines both the ground taxi and ferry ride. Pinder’s will pick you up from the North Eleuthera Airport and transport you by ground taxi for the short ride to Gene’s Bay dock and there you will board their 5 minute ferry. When you arrive at the Spanish Wells dock, you can retrieve your rented golf cart (highly recommended to get around the island for your stay) for a short drive to Russell Island which is connected to Spanish Wells by a small bridge. Golf cart rental vendors can be found dockside and can be arranged prior to your arrival.

GROUND TRANSPORATION

Rainbow Bay, Eleuthera, Bahamas:
An Eleuthera car rental is strongly recommended to get around the island to various tourist spots, restaurants, grocery stores and beaches. There are currently no international “Hertz-type” rental agencies. All car rentals are through local Bahamians. Because of the high duty to import cars, they are generally older-model cars, but work well to get around the island. Cars have a standard rental rate, and jeeps, vans and SUV’s are generally at an additional cost. Eleuthera car rental rates are around $60-$70 per daily rate or $350 on up per weekly rate.

Russell Island / Spanish Wells, Eleuthera, Bahamas:
Golf Carts are the way to get around the Spanish Wells/Russell Island area well. There are 2 & 4-seaters available for rent, approximately $250 per week on up. Bicycles are also available for rent around $90 week. We have two adult bicysles available at our Russell Island rentals for guests to use at no additional cost. Spanish Wells has a local car taxi service. The government ferry that takes passengers to the mainland North Eleuthera is $8 round-trip. While on-island, Boat rentals for recreation and fishing are available at $495 on up.
