To & From The Wharf
- Shuttles: Some hotels operate shuttles that will pick you up at the ferry.
- Taxis: Taxis are always at the wharf whenever the ferries dock, or you can call in advance to have one meet you.
- Walk: Lots of people simply roll their suitcases down Commercial Street; why not join them and get a sense of what the town has in store for you?
Car Rentals
There are car rentals via Enterprise at the Provincetown Airport, though you need to make a reservation and let them know what time you’re coming, as the desk isn’t always staffed.
Bicycles
Your best transportation bet is a bicycle, and we strongly urge you to reserve one in advance. Parking for cars is very limited and very expensive, the parking police are vigilant, and bicycles allow you to get around while seeing… and being seen! All the bicycle rental shops also now offer ebike rentals.
