Although much of the island remains untouched and lacks roads, many hiking, diving, and fishing destinations are too spread out to reach on foot. Car rentals are an informal affair as the locals simply rent out their private vehicles. The first gas station on the island is currently under construction (January, 2009) so you will need to drive into Pirates Well and fill up from one of two large tanks. Note that gas prices on the island often lag well behind prices in Nassau and the US and are additionally inflated by the transport costs to the island; be prepared (as in bring enough cash) for gas guzzling vehicles and prices approaching $6/gallon.
If you are a little more flexible with your time, are interested in meeting more of the friendly locals, and cringe at spending $75/day plus gas on a car rental that sits in the sun all day after the 15min ride to your fishing/swimming/diving destination, you can arrange rides with the locals. For $20-40/day (depending upon your generosity) they will gladly drop you off and pick you up (or at least get someone else to) at an arranged time later in the day.
