So appreciative of this man! Our TJ broke down in Salvo and we needed to get back to Kill Devil Hills. He picked us up immediately and took us home. Very thankful!

A phone-first shuttle for getting around Hatteras Island without your own set of wheels
Island Hopper Shuttle is a small, locally run transportation service based in Hatteras village, at the southern end of Hatteras Island. There's no website listed for this business, which tracks with how a lot of smaller operators along this stretch of the Outer Banks still work: call the number directly to ask about current availability, service area, and rates.
A phone-based shuttle option can be genuinely useful here. Hatteras village is the departure point for the free NC ferry connection, and visitors who arrive without a car, or who'd rather not deal with parking near the villages strung along NC-12, may find a local shuttle worth having lined up. Worth remembering: NC-12 is the single road linking Rodanthe, Waves, and Salvo up through Avon, Buxton, and Hatteras village, and it closes periodically during storms — any shuttle running here is working around the same road conditions as everyone else on the island.
Island Hopper Shuttle doesn't have any reviews on file yet. That's common for a smaller, phone-first operation and isn't a signal about how long they've been in business one way or the other. Call ahead to confirm they're currently running before you build a plan around it.

He was a lifesaver getting me to airport when I was in a real jam. Highly recommend.

I was out visiting our youngest son, & we found ourselves 25 miles north of our hotel in Buxto, when the wind started widespread areas of flash flooding! We made it 10 miles in an hour & a half, when the serpentine belt got to wet, & slipped off. We limped outta the 2' of water, & upto some dry road. We pulled well off the road, shut off the overheating engine, & brainstormed what to do. It was full dark by now, & the temp dropping into the 20's, & we decideded to leave the truck till morning, & call for a taxi. Island Hopper was super helpful, & came as quick as the road conditions allowed. They changed us a reasonable rate considering the storm, & we were super pleased with the service! 5 stars for sure!
