Top tips for driving in Beaufort

A few local pointers make getting around Beaufort simple, whether you're sticking to downtown or heading out to the islands.

Road rules

Speed limits run low through the historic district and residential streets, so watch for pedestrians and cyclists near the waterfront. Keep an eye out for one-way streets downtown, and give yourself extra time during festivals and events.

Parking

Downtown offers a mix of metered on-street spots and free lots near the main attractions. A compact or midsize car is easy to fit into tighter spaces, and many hotels and vacation rentals include parking for guests.

Toll roads

Beaufort and its immediate surroundings are toll-free, so day-to-day driving is straightforward. If you travel farther afield, check your route ahead of time.

Gas and EV charging

You'll find gas stations along Boundary Street and Ribaut Road and near the highways in and out of town. Prefer to go electric? Browse electric vehicle rentals in Beaufort and plan stops at local charging points.

Car types

Match the car to your trip. Compacts and sedans are easy to park in the historic district, SUVs add room for beach gear and Sea Island day trips, and electric vehicles keep fuel costs down around town. For longer stays, look for cars offered at weekly or monthly rates.

Do you need a car in Beaufort?

Yes — public transit is limited and the best spots are spread across the Sea Islands, so a rental car is the most practical way to see the area. Book early for the widest selection, and consider a monthly rental for longer stays.
