Charleston Airport Transfer

Charleston airport transfer is engine-priced all-in: CHS to North Charleston $150 Business Sedan / $190 First Class SUV (5 mi), CHS to Downtown and the Historic District $190 (12 mi), CHS to Mount Pleasant $230 (18 mi), CHS to Kiawah and Seabrook Islands $290 (30 mi). Every estimate includes gratuity, tax, and card processing and never surges during the Cooper River Bridge Run, Spoleto Festival USA, or RBC Heritage week.

Charleston International Airport (CHS) is in North Charleston, about 12 miles northwest of the downtown Historic District via I-26 East. It is a single-terminal airport shared with Charleston Air Force Base, served by American, Delta, United, Southwest, JetBlue, and Breeze, with car rental, ground transportation, and a baggage-claim curb on the lower level. A pre-booked Detailed Drivers chauffeur meets you inside the terminal with your flight tracked, so pickup is quick.

Yes. Every CHS transfer includes real-time flight tracking, with the chauffeur monitoring your arrival and meeting you inside at baggage claim. Inside-terminal meet-and-greet with a name placard is included at no extra charge on sedan and SUV pickups, including VIP, wedding-party, and family pickups arriving for a Kiawah, Seabrook, or downtown Charleston stay.

From CHS it is about 12 miles and 18 to 30 minutes to the downtown Historic District via I-26 East, about 18 miles to Mount Pleasant over the Ravenel Bridge, and about 24 to 30 miles to Isle of Palms, Sullivan's Island, Kiawah, and Seabrook Islands. North Charleston is the closest at about 5 miles, and Folly Beach runs roughly 22 miles south through downtown.

For standard arrivals and departures, 24 hours ahead is usually enough. Reserve earlier for the Cooper River Bridge Run, Spoleto Festival USA, the Charleston Wine + Food festival, RBC Heritage week at Hilton Head, and peak spring and fall wedding weekends on Kiawah and Daniel Island, when metro vehicle availability is tightest — and for the Sprinter Van on group arrivals.

Nothing changes on your end. The chauffeur tracks your flight in real time and adjusts the pickup automatically for delays and early arrivals, with complimentary wait time built in. There is no surge or rebooking penalty for a delayed flight into Charleston International.

Yes. Detailed Drivers operates CHS transfers 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, including red-eye arrivals and pre-dawn departures to connect through Atlanta or Charlotte. Advance booking is required — it is a reserved service with a confirmed chauffeur and vehicle.

All tiers serve CHS: the Business Sedan for solo and executive travel, the First Class SUV for families and luggage to Kiawah or Mount Pleasant, and the Sprinter Van for wedding parties and groups. The Mercedes S-Class is available for VIP arrivals on request. Groups from a single flight ride together from CHS to one resort or address in the Sprinter Van.

For airport pickups we track your flight, so the On-Time Guarantee follows the actual landing time: your chauffeur is waiting when you land and texts you. If they are not, we refund the full fare. The On-Time Guarantee covers every booking, every vehicle and every city, 24/7. To claim an On-Time Guarantee refund, contact dispatch with your booking details at (888) 420-0177 or info@detaileddrivers.com. Inside meet-and-greet is included at no extra charge on every sedan and SUV airport pickup; for Sprinter vans and buses it is an add-on with a second team member, quoted at booking.
