Exploring Anguilla is an effortless and enjoyable experience, offering a variety of transportation options to suit your preferences and itinerary. Whether you prefer the independence of driving yourself or the convenience of chauffeured services, getting around the island is a breeze.
Renting a Car
Renting a car is a popular and affordable way to explore Anguilla at your own pace. It allows you the freedom to visit the island’s beautiful beaches and hidden gems on your schedule. Our concierge can assist in arranging a vehicle that suits your needs, whether it’s a compact car, an SUV, or a fun and quirky Moke. Vehicles can be rented at the airport or ferry terminal, with rates varying by day, week, or month depending on the season and type of vehicle.

Taxis
Taxis in Anguilla are best for short trips as fares can be expensive, with extra charges after 6 pm, for additional people, and for baggage. Taxis are required to be registered and rates are set, so you can confirm your fare in advance with the dispatcher. Due to the high cost, many visitors find it more affordable and convenient to rent a car.

This option provides the luxury of being driven around in style while you focus on enjoying the sights and sounds of Anguilla. Our concierge can arrange an on-demand car and driver for you, available for an agreed-upon fixed price per day or by the hour, ready to drop and pick you up as you go about the island.
Moke Rentals
Add a touch of fun to your island exploration with a Moke rental. These colorful, open-air vehicles are perfect for the tropical climate and provide a delightful way to tour Anguilla. Mokes are great for beach hopping and short trips around the island, and their distinctive look adds a bit of adventure to your travels.
Bike Rentals and Cycling
For those who enjoy cycling, renting a bike is a fantastic way to explore the island, offering a unique perspective and allowing you to take in the scenery at a leisurely pace. The island’s relatively flat terrain and scenic routes make it ideal for both casual riders and cycling enthusiasts.
