Nantucket car hire

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.

The maximum speed limit is around 30mph in most parts of Nantucket town but drops to 25mph in thickly settled residential areas and business centers. 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.
