Renting a car

"I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you."

- God (Psalm 32:8)

There are a limited number of car rental companies on the Outer Banks, and rentals are costly. Rental rates begin at about $45-60 a day. To rent a car, you will need a major U.S. credit card and a driver’s license, (some agencies will accept an International Driver’s License),and you must be at least 25 years old.

Bicycling and Buying Your Own Car

These are  some solutions to the Outer Banks transportation difficulties.  Check out the Transportation section of this website.

Pathways Assistance

With sufficient advance notice Pathways can help with local transportation needs. See the Pathways Student Services section for details.

Finding Your Way

Navigating the Outer Banks is simple. Major north-south roads (Route 158 or the bypass and Route 12 - the beach road), are marked by mile markers (Milepost), normally placed at half-mile increments on green signs along the side of the road.  Directions to most locations on the Outer Banks are given in relation to the nearest "milepost" or "MP."  The mile marker system begins at MP1 at the Wright Memorial Bridge coming on to the Outer Banks, and extends the length of the island chain ending in Hatteras Island.
