With the opening of the new toll booth, Jekyll has revised their rates for "parking" on the island. You can find the official notice here on the bottom of the page. The daily rate has increased 20% to $6.00. They have added an "oversize vehicle" rate which increases the cost to $10.00 per day, or a 100% increase. Annual decals are still $45 for cars and pickups. An annual "oversize" rate is also available for $90, but I don't see winter guests paying this fee, since we don't leave and return often with our RVs.
Although the rates were set in July, there still seems to be some uncertainty about how they will be applied. As it says on the web page, the fees are charged "per entrance". However, be prepared to pay $10 for your "oversize" RV when you arrive in addition to your toad or tow vehicle charges. You will have to pay the $10 fee again if you take your RV off the island and return.
Change is inevitable.
Is the $10.00 fee to bring the camper in for real? We have the decal for the car which covered it the last 3 years.
ReplyDeleteYes, under the new plan you are expected to pay for each vehicle every time you pass through the gate. Your annual pass pays for your toad, and you pay separately for the "oversize" vehicle.
