Murrells Inlet is a relatively small town, and many roads suit regular vehicles. Compact or midsize car rentals in Murrells Inlet should be sufficient if you plan to explore the local area primarily. If you're traveling with a group or need extra space for luggage, a larger sedan or SUV might be more suitable. If you intend to explore rural or off-road areas, consider a car with better clearance or an all-wheel-drive (AWD) system. Given the coastal location, some travelers might enjoy the experience of driving a convertible to enjoy the scenic views. On the other hand, if you're planning to transport equipment for outdoor activities like golf or water sports, an SUV might be more practical.

Speed limits within residential neighborhoods are often around 25 to 35 mph.
