Caledonian MacBrayne have a very good roll on roll off ferry service from Skye to Malliag. Using the ferry cuts out a long road trip and saves a good deal of time. I nearly died laughing when shut up in what felt like a tin can I read the sign above my head!
The price seems steep but if your direction of travel is the West Coast it will save you a lot on petrol and time.
Cost = £18.00 for the car
£3.30 per car passenger & the same if you are on foot.
A frequent service is provided from Monday to Sunday usually every hour or so = if you just miss one like we did in Armadale, guess what? More time to sightsee!! Leave a Comment

Coach services to Skye are excellent, with the CityLink heading daily for Portree and on to Uig (connecting with the ferry to outer islands).
However, many travellers find themselves stranded in Portree, on a sunday, with no or a too limited local bus service to enable visiting the places they desperately want to see. Car hire is expensive,but they do much business for this reason.
Your own wheels will be a significant advantage to most tourists. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

 Skye ferry by stevezero
You can get a ferry from Mallaig on the mainland to Armadale on the southern tip of Skye.
The trip takes about 25minutes, and you can take your car, or travel as just a foot passenger. Leave a Comment

 Skye Bridge by stevezero
When it was first built the bridge was controversial, mainly for its high toll charge, one of the dearest crossings in Europe (and it's not that far!)
Now though it is thankfully free, as it has now been paid for in full (by harrasseed motorists) Leave a Comment Theme: Other

Skye has many narow and single track roads, so I would not reccomend anything too big.
Car hire is available at all main UK airports, or bring your own. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

 Our transport by Igraine
Be aware tho that the roads are very small, but that does to the atmosphere, at least i think it does. Theme: Car/Motor Home
