Free rental delivery on St. Simons Island: hotels, cottages and vacation homes

Free delivery and pickup are included in the published rental price

Wavy’s standard service-area rental does not add a delivery or collection charge. The equipment is brought to an approved hotel, cottage, vacation rental or residence on St. Simons Island, and the same reservation includes collection from the agreed return location when the rental ends.

“Free” describes the fee, not a promise that every pin on a map is usable. The property must allow the rental, the delivery vehicle must be able to reach the handoff point safely and the golf cart, scooter or paddleboard must have an appropriate place to park or store. Wavy reviews those conditions before confirming the delivery.

Ask the property where an outside rental may be placed

Hotels, condominium associations, gated communities and professionally managed rentals can set rules that are separate from public-road rules. A property may require vendor registration, limit delivery hours, assign a specific parking space or prohibit outside carts and equipment. The renter should obtain permission before booking when the rule is not already clear.

Send Wavy the property name, complete street address, reservation name, gate or access instructions and the exact exterior location approved for handoff. “At the hotel” or “near the house” is not precise enough. A specific, lawful location protects guests, staff, equipment and emergency access.

• ✓Confirm outside-rental permission
• ✓Identify a marked or private space
• ✓Share gate codes through the secure booking workflow
• ✓Keep fire lanes, accessible aisles, sidewalks and entrances clear

Choose a window after access begins and before the day becomes crowded

Normal Wavy delivery hours are 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM daily. The best window begins after the property will admit the guest and the delivery team, with enough daylight and attention for the required orientation. If check-in is delayed, contact Wavy before the driver reaches a gate or loading area.

Same-day requests received by 5:00 PM may be delivered by 8:00 PM when inventory, property permission, route fit and delivery capacity are all confirmed. That is an eligibility window, not a guarantee. Requests after 5:00 PM normally move to the next available delivery period unless Wavy expressly confirms an exception.

A golf cart, scooter and paddleboard do not share the same handoff

A golf-cart handoff covers seats and restraints, controls, required equipment, fuel, parking and the approved street plan. A stand-up scooter or e-moped adds helmet fit, balance, braking, charging, locking and route-specific limitations. Those two-wheel categories require the rider to demonstrate that the controls and instructions are understood.

A paddleboard handoff covers the board, paddle adjustment, life-jacket fit, leash use for the approved conditions, transport and storage. Delivery to a hotel near the water is not approval to launch at the nearest shoreline. The intended launch remains a separate decision based on access, tide, wind, surf and experience.

Return-day pickup happens from the same agreed location

Before the pickup window, remove personal property and trash, gather every included item and return the rental to the agreed exterior location. For vehicles, park, engage the brake, remove the key and lock the equipment as instructed. For paddleboards, rinse only when directed and secure the board, paddle, life jacket and leash together.

Do not move the return point to a lobby entrance, curb or different property without approval. If checkout timing changes, contact Wavy early enough to protect the next reservation. Optional return photos create a useful time-stamped record and help the collection team locate the exact equipment quickly.
