Why rent a car in Myrtle Beach

The Myrtle Beach boardwalk, SkyWheel and oceanfront hotels are easy to explore on foot. The real reason to rent a car is the Grand Strand itself — this roughly 60-mile stretch of South Carolina coast includes quieter towns like Murrells Inlet, known for its seafood restaurants and marsh walk, about 20 minutes south.

Further south, Brookgreen Gardens, with its sculpture collections and wildlife preserve, and Huntington Beach State Park, known for alligator sightings and undeveloped shoreline, are both about 25-30 minutes away. Public transit in the area is limited and mostly serves the boardwalk corridor, making a car the practical way to explore the wider Grand Strand and its state parks.

Rental info

What to know before driving in Myrtle Beach

  • Pickup at Myrtle Beach International Airport (MYR). The airport sits right at the edge of the city, close to the boardwalk area. Compare car rental prices in Myrtle Beach →
  • Summer traffic on Highway 17. The main coastal road gets congested in peak summer months — allow extra time for beach-town hops during July and August.
  • Waive the deductible. Basic insurance leaves you liable for a deductible if there's damage; add deductible waiver cover at booking.
  • Parking at state parks. Huntington Beach State Park and Brookgreen Gardens have paid parking that can fill up on summer weekends — arrive early.
  • Golf cart etiquette in nearby towns. Some beach communities south of Myrtle Beach have golf carts sharing the road — watch for them at intersections.
