Hilton Head Bike Rentals: 11-Day Delivery, E-Bikes & Tandems

On Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, 11 Day Bike Rentals with Salty’s gives you a low-effort way to map the island’s flat, photogenic coastline and maritime forests. Based in Hilton Head Island, this rental lets you glide along wide paved trails, roll onto sandy beachfronts where allowed, and thread through neighborhoods shaded by live oaks and cabbage palmetto. Salty’s fleet covers every style of island riding: cushy single-speed beach cruisers with wide tires and springy seats for relaxed beach rides; 26-inch low step-thru seven-speed frames for confident control and easy mounting; seven-speed road-style bikes for faster paved-path miles; adult tandems for shared pedaling; stable three-wheeled adult trikes; and pedal-assist electric bikes to flatten dunes of effort. Rentals include locks, baskets, and battery chargers for longer days; delivery to your rental home and pickup service are standard, with same-day windows and clear pickup instructions confirmed by text. The route possibilities are what make this experience sing. Spin past the salt marshes and estuary creeks that define this barrier island, drop into Sea Pines’ famous bike network, or coast the Coligny Plaza corridor to a stretch of wide sand and surf. Look for geological contrasts—sweeping dunes backed by maritime hammocks and the dark peat channels that thread the tidal creeks. Wildlife sightings are common: watch for dolphins working the inlet, ospreys hovering over marsh grass, and fiddler crabs skittering along mud edges. Practical details matter on vacation: deliveries begin at 8:30 a.m. with most rentals arriving by 11:00 a.m., same-day deliveries between 11:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., and pickups starting as early as 8:00 a.m. Return bikes to their delivery spot for collection, or arrange shop drop-off. Locks are left in place and combinations texted for convenience. Why book this here? The combination of full-service delivery, an inclusive fleet that suits riders from kids to grandparents, and the island’s uniquely flat, protected bike network turns a rental into a local rhythm rather than a tourist scramble. For photographers, naturalists, and slow-travelers, pedaling is the best way to feel the tidal pulse of Hilton Head while moving at human speed. Book through the referral link to set a delivery time during your stay and pick the bike that fits your pace—whether you want to cruise the beach, explore maritime forests, or simply ride until the sun drops behind the mainland. Rentals come with complimentary locks and baskets, and helmets are available on request—bring a light daypack and reef-safe sunscreen for shore stops. Electric bikes expand the map for mixed-ability groups, while trikes make long loops accessible to riders needing extra stability. Plan shorter loops with kids and include water and snacks; shaded benches appear regularly along the island’s network. Enjoy gentle island cycling.
