The downtown area is quite congested, so bikers should ride carefully and keep a watchful eye out for pedestrians. DASH is a segment of the City of Charleston's public transportation system. DASH trolleys are not tour vehicles, so they make stops only at designated points. DASH does not operate on major holidays. Most major national car-rental agencies have locations at the airport, in the historic district and in North Charleston.
Prices vary considerably, depending on the car model, the season and the duration of the rental.
In most cases, the best prices are on rentals that are returned to the point of departure. Agencies accept all major credit cards. However, the drivers are prompt, and courtesy and cleanliness are the rule. Hotel front desks can provide more information. Shuttle and limousine services are also available for airport transfers and excursions.
