Do passenger jets fly into Eleuthera?
Only small business jets. Most of these airlines use small, propellor-driven commuter-type aircraft. So, be sure to check their baggage weight restrictions and book early since most have only one daily flight to the island. Especially important to remember during winter “high season” travel and holidays. Do we need a car? You will need a car for at least a couple of days on arrival to take care of your shopping needs because the nearest store is three miles away. The settlements and many of the sights on Eleuthera are spread out and you should have a car if you want do any sightseeing. Car rental rates, regulated by the government, are $350 per week on the island. If you are staying less than a week, car rental cost is $60 per day. Over 7 days is $50 per day and over 14 days is $45.00 per day. Some services may negotiate a bit if the government is not monitoring too heavily at the time, but they are not supposed to. There are no commercial car rental agencies like Hertz or Avis on Eleu
