Max Transportation
(912) 634-7749

Renting a car is another option and rentals are available from all airports.  Rates seem to be reasonable and good deals can be found on Expedia, Hotwire, Orbitz and Priceline.  Each guest doesn’t need a car so it’s a good idea to share a rental with other guests.   See driving directions from airports below.
