Position is approximate (ActiveCaptain: two minutes' walk from Basil's dinghy dock, about a block from Hillside Grocery). Call or hail on VHF 16 a few days ahead for larger cars. ActiveCaptain (2022) calls it Seaside Car Rental (Mr. Fox); a 2025 crew rented from Mr. Fox (they call it Sunset Car Rental) for $75 cash a day with minimal paperwork; drive on the left, and watch for potholes, goats, pigs and sheep on the Queen's Highway, especially in the south.
