Due to the nature of South Haven being a small vacation town, there are limited rideshare options. We recommend renting a car or arranging a carpool if you are taking a different mode of transportation into the area.

As mentioned, there are few car services available in South Haven. The best form of transportation locally is by personal vehicle (or bike!) However, there is a local rideshare driver named Chris who works during the summertime:

South Haven Rideshare

"Call Chris for a smooth ride: 269-910-6622" (Nope, we're not kidding, this is a direct quote from the official City of South Haven's tourism website. Welcome to Michigan Lake Life!)

While Lyft and Uber do service the area, they can be unreliable at best. Your best bet with using them is to reserve one well in advance if needed.
