Question 1

What are the major attractions in Georgetown?

Accepted Answer

If your trip to Georgetown is all organized but your itinerary is looking a little empty, we can give you a few hints and tips.

Plan a stop at Rice Museum. It's one attraction you'll find on many travelers' must-do lists. Hampton Plantation State Historic Site and Outlaw's Original Art Gallery and Museum are also nearby and worth a pit stop.

Question 2

What are the best road trip destinations near Georgetown?

Accepted Answer

If you have a spare day or two and you're willing to travel 60 miles, take a look at Folly Island Beaches. This place has plenty of things to keep you engaged. Folly Beach County Park, Folly Beach Fishing Pier and Ocean Course alone justify the drive. Locals will also likely point you in the direction of Myrtle Beach Beaches, 35 miles away. If you can only see one thing here, make sure it's Broadway at the Beach. (But we'd also highly recommend Ripley's Aquarium and SkyWheel Myrtle Beach.)

Question 3

Where are the best beaches near Georgetown?

Accepted Answer

There's nothing as enchanting as being by the sea in the early hours of the evening. Take a relaxing road trip to Litchfield Beach and glimpse the sun's rays glistening on the water before it vanishes into the horizon. You'll find this glorious stretch of coastline 15 miles from Georgetown.

Question 4

What kind of rental car should I get for Georgetown?

Accepted Answer

Whatever your motoring requirements in Georgetown, CarRentals.com will get you from one place to another with ease. If you're in the city on business, a premium car is a great fit. These kinds of vehicles boast top-end finishes, elegant interiors, and a host of modern extras. Traveling on a limited budget and looking to save money? A mini or a compact car may be an excellent choice. These smaller cars are more affordable and perfect for navigating traffic. If you have a few kids (and loads of luggage) in tow, a full-size SUV will give you all the space you need.

Question 5

Should I get a luxury rental car in Georgetown?

Accepted Answer

You'll be pleased to hear that there's an impressive variety of both luxury and economy rental vehicles on offer in Georgetown. What you end up going with depends on how much you want to spend and the activities you've got planned. Prestige vehicles are all about comfort and class. If you feel like splashing out, why not book an SUV with all the bells and whistles, or perhaps a cushy mid-size sedan? Alternatively, if you're just after a set of wheels to zip around town in as economically as possible, go for an economy compact vehicle (or something else that's unlikely to break the bank).
