It's a 45-minute drive. Options: rent a car at SAV, book a black-car service (White Sands Transportation, Palmetto Car Service, JL Luxury Transport), take a shared shuttle (Savannah Airport Shuttle — most affordable), or use Uber/Lyft. For a family with luggage and golf bags, a black SUV runs $110-$160 one-way and is worth it.
Depends on your stay. Inside Sea Pines or Palmetto Dunes you can bike everywhere and Uber to off-island dinners. For mid-island or north-end villas with kids, a car or golf cart is more practical. The Breeze Trolley (free, April-Labor Day) covers the south end, and a private bike rental delivered to your villa can replace a car for week-long beach stays.
Yes — Wheelz of Hilton Head and Sea Turtle Rentals are the two main operators.

Street-legal LSV (low-speed vehicle) carts can travel on any road posted 35 mph or under.
Daufuskie has no bridge — you take a boat. H2O Sports runs a 20-minute scheduled water taxi from Harbour Town Yacht Basin in Sea Pines.
