Hilton Head bike rentals run about $20–$33 a day as of July 2026. The lowest published daily rate is Pedals Bicycles at $20/day — a cruiser with free island-wide delivery. By the week, Atlantic Bike Rentals at $34/week is the cheapest if you pick up yourself; Salty's at $40/week (about $5.70/day) is the cheapest delivered free. Weekly rates are almost always the real discount here — at several shops, 4 to 7 days costs one flat price.
Typical rates by bike type

Demystified
How each shop's pricing actually works
Same island, very different math. We mapped every published rate ladder so you can see how each shop charges — and which structure fits your trip. Full breakdown in the pricing guide.
Compare at YOUR trip length, not the “from” price
The cheapest day-one shop is rarely the cheapest week. A 7-day cruiser runs $40 at Salty's, $44 at Atlantic, $50 at Wheelz, Island Life, and Cross Island, $64.99 at Outfitters — and the day-rate order is different.
Bracket cliffs = free days
Most shops price in windows: at Outfitters, days 3 through 7 all cost $64.99; at Cross Island and Island Life, 4 days costs the same as 7. Booking 4–5 days? Keep the bike the full week — it's free.
“From” prices can hide the clock
Salty's “$45 e-bike” is a 4-hour rate (a day is $60); Atlantic's “$15” is a half-day store rate (delivered day rate is $25). Always check what duration the headline number buys.
Cruisers discount with length — e-bikes barely do
A Salty's cruiser week is $40, less than double its day rate. Their e-bike week is $236 — nearly 6× the cruiser. Long stay + e-bike is the most expensive combination on the island.
Salty's Bike & Beach Rentals
Plateau bracketsPrices step up then flatten: a cruiser is $22 for a day, $40 covers anything from 4 to 7 days, and a month is $99.
Best for: Week-long and month-long cruiser renters — $40 a week (about $5.70/day) is the cheapest published weekly cruiser rate on the island, delivered free.
Their bikes and e-bikes use completely different math. A cruiser week costs $40; an e-bike week costs $236, because e-bikes scale almost day-by-day with no plateau. And the “from $45” e-bike price is a 4-hour rate — a full day is $60.
Hilton Head Outfitters & Bike Rentals
Duration bracketsOne price per window: $32.99 for a day, $42.99 for two, then a single $64.99 covers everything from 3 to 7 days.
Best for: Full-week Palmetto Dunes stays that can pick up in the resort (chairs, wagons, and strollers are pickup-only).
Day 3 and day 7 cost exactly the same — if you're renting for 3+ days, keep the bike all week; the extra days are free. Steepest day-one rate of the shops that publish, but the BOOKAHEAD code (20% off weekly, booked 40+ days out) closes most of the gap.
Wheelz of Hilton Head
Day-by-day ladderEvery rental length has its own price — $30 for one day, then each added day costs $2–$5 more, topping out at $85 for two weeks.
Best for: Odd-length trips (5, 9, 11 days…) — with no brackets, you never pay for days you don't use.
The add-a-day price shrinks mid-week: stretching 5 days to a full 7 costs just $4 more. Per-day cost falls from $30 on day one to about $6 by day 14.
Cross Island Bike Rental
Universal bracketsOne bracket ladder with a 2-day minimum — no single-day rate. $35 for 2–3 days, $50 for 4 days–1 week, $90 for two weeks ($100 to 15 days) — and nearly every item (adult bikes, kids' bikes, kiddie karts, cargo carts) uses the same ladder.
Best for: Families pricing multiple bikes — count riders, multiply one ladder. Booked by text, 24/7.
A 4-day rental and a 7-day rental cost the same $50, so always book to the top of your window. One catch: kids' bikes cost the same as adult bikes here, so shops with cheaper kids' rates can beat them for young families.
Atlantic Bike Rentals
Brackets + pickup discountBracket pricing with two prices per row — store pickup vs delivered ($20 vs $25 for a day). The grid jumps 1 day → 3 days ($30) → 4–7 days ($44), then $100 for a month.
Best for: Long stays and anyone near Arrow Rd — the $34/week walk-up special and $100/month are the cheapest published long-stay rates after LowSea.
“Free delivery” is baked into the rate — self-pickup saves $5 a bike per day. At $100/month (~$3.30/day), a monthly cruiser costs less per day than any weekly rate published on the island.
Island Life Bike Rentals & Dolphin Tours
Declining into a weekly bracket$25 for a day, $33 for two, $38 for three — then one $50 price covers 4 to 7 days.
Best for: 3–7 day mid-island stays that want delivery guaranteed by 4pm.
A full week costs exactly twice a single day ($50 vs $25) — and only $12 more than a 3-day rental. Past day 3, the extra days are nearly free.
LowSea Bike, Beach & Baby Rental
Date-based pricingPrices are set per reservation through a date-based booking system — you pick your dates to see the real rate, so there's no single flat or per-day number.
Best for: Anyone who wants bikes, beach gear, and baby gear delivered together — just price your exact dates to compare.
Because the rate depends on your dates, get a live quote for your stay rather than assuming a headline price. Expect roughly the island range, and confirm at booking.
Breeze Bikes
Date-based pricingPublishes starting prices only (bikes from $25, gear from $10) — the real quote depends on your dates, like airline seats.
Best for: Off-peak visitors and the northern plantations — free delivery covers Hilton Head Plantation and Port Royal, where many shops don't go.
In peak summer weeks expect the real price to sit above the advertised floor — run your dates through their checkout before comparing against fixed-price shops.
Pedals Bicycles
Day-rate floorPublishes the one-day floor for each class — cruisers $20, hybrids/tandems/trikes $40, e-bikes $60 — with longer-rental prices in a checkout dropdown.
Best for: Single-day and short renters — $20 is the lowest published cruiser day rate on the island, with free island-wide delivery.
There's no visible weekly ladder, so week-long renters can't comparison-shop Pedals without calling — and rentals past a week are quote-by-phone only.
Avocado Bikes
From-price, quote at bookingE-bikes “start from $60–$80”; the full ladder lives in their booking flow.
Best for: E-bike riders staying OUTSIDE Sea Pines, Shipyard, and Hilton Head Plantation (e-bikes aren't allowed there) who want the island's biggest e-bike fleet.
Free delivery only kicks in at 2+ bikes — a solo e-bike rental may carry a delivery fee that bike-plus-gear shops don't charge.
Arrow E-Bikes
From-price, phone-firstPer-model from-prices (step-thru e-bikes from $40, premium from $50, two-seaters $100, regular cruisers $25) with no duration ladder — booking is phone-first.
Best for: Last-minute e-bike delivery — they advertise delivery “within an hour.”
Alljoy Bike & Beach Rental
Date-gated pricingBike prices only appear after you enter rental dates; only the beach packages ($50 and $120/day) and towels are priced up front.
Best for: Bluffton and Palmetto Bluff stays — one of the few shops delivering off-island.
The quote-at-booking shops
These shops publish no rates at all — pricing comes through their booking engine or over the phone: Peddling Pelican , South Beach Bike Rentals , Hilton Head Bicycle Company , Island Cruisers , Bike Doctor HHI , AAA Riding Tigers , Forest Beach Surf & Cycle , Sea Pines Resort Bike Rentals , Sharky's Bike Rentals & Surf Shop .
Not publishing rates isn't a red flag — several are excellent shops. When you call, ask three things: the rate for your exact number of days, whether there's a weekly bracket that makes extra days free, and whether delivery is included or baked into the rate.
How to save
What changes the price
Bike type
Standard beach cruisers are cheapest. Hybrids, tandems, and adult trikes cost more, and e-bikes are the priciest — often around $60/day.
How long you rent
Per-day rates drop fast by the week. A 3–7 day rate can be a fraction of paying daily, so book your whole stay up front.
Season & timing
Summer and holiday weeks are busiest and bikes sell out. Rates shift seasonally — and booking early is often how you save.
Delivery & extras
Many shops include free delivery and pickup. Helmets, baskets, and locks may be add-ons — a few dollars each — so check what's included.
