Young's has been renting vehicles to the island's visitor's for more than 40 years, and we use that experience to ensure you spend less time in the store and more time having fun. Cars and Jeeps are some of the best ways to get around Nantucket, especially if you want to see as much of the island as possible.

What customers are saying about our car and Jeep rentals
"Thanks Jasper and the team for the awesome jeep rental - we had a BLAST driving out on sand to the Great Point lighthouse and touring the island in our red jeep.
These things are incredible at driving on sand when you deflate the tires (don't worry, they tell you how) and you get a beach permit too. Jasper was lovely as was the gentleman who showed us how to use the jeep, shift into 4H and deflate/inflate the tires.
The most awesome thing we did on our trip was drive out to this rustic point - don't miss it!"

You are also welcome to walk in the day you would like the vehicle if something is available.
Can you deliver a vehicle to my rental house or hotel?
Unfortunately, we are not able to offer this service. All vehicles must be rented from and returned to our 6 Broad Street location.
