Is it possible to get an Uber to and from tybee island from the river walk area of Savannah!
Yes, it is possible to get an Uber to and from Tybee Island from the River Walk area of Savannah. The ride typically takes around 20-30 minutes, depending on traffic, as Tybee Island is about 18 miles east of downtown Savannah.
Here are a few things to keep in mind when using Uber for this trip:
- Availability: Uber is available in Savannah and Tybee Island, so you should have no trouble booking a ride from downtown to the island. However, during peak tourist seasons or special events, wait times for rides may be longer than usual, especially for return trips from Tybee to Savannah.
- Cost: The fare for an Uber ride from River Street or the River Walk area to Tybee Island generally falls in the range of $30-$50 one way, depending on the type of Uber service you choose (UberX, UberXL, etc.) and the time of day. It’s always a good idea to check the fare estimate in the Uber app before booking the ride to get an idea of the cost.
- Traffic: Tybee Island can get crowded, especially during the summer months and weekends, so traffic may be heavy. Be prepared for potentially longer travel times during peak hours, like Friday afternoons and weekends.
- Return trip: While it’s easy to get an Uber to Tybee Island, getting a ride back to Savannah from the island may be more difficult, particularly in the late afternoon and evening when many people are trying to return to the city. Plan accordingly and consider calling an Uber a little ahead of time, or have a backup plan (such as calling a taxi or using the Lyft app, which operates similarly to Uber).
If you prefer a more reliable form of transportation, there are also shuttle services available that operate between Savannah and Tybee Island, but Uber is definitely a convenient and flexible option if you’re just looking for a quick ride without worrying about schedules.
Enjoy your trip to Tybee Island! It’s a lovely place to relax, enjoy the beach, and explore the island.
