Detailed Drivers is Myrtle Beach's premier car service and black car service, providing flat-rate transportation 24/7 across the 60-mile Grand Strand — from MYR airport transfers and Grand Strand resort pickups to golf course shuttles, Broadway at the Beach, and city-to-city runs to Charlotte, Columbia, and Charleston. Sedans from $38 at MYR. No surge during peak season, Bike Week, or any Grand Strand event.
Car service in Myrtle Beach costs $68/hr for a Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedan and $98/hr for a Cadillac Escalade ESV SUV, with flat-rate pricing that never surges — not during summer peak, not during Bike Week, not ever.
| Vehicle | Hourly Rate | MYR Airport | Min Hours | Capacity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mercedes-Benz S-Class Sedan | $68/hr | $38 flat | 2 hr | 3 passengers |
| Cadillac Escalade ESV SUV | $98/hr | $55 flat | 2 hr | 6 passengers |

Charlotte CLT: $265 · Columbia SC: $175 · Charleston SC: $175 · Wilmington NC: $145 · Hilton Head SC: $195 · Raleigh RDU: $295
Flat-rate car service is significantly cheaper than Uber Black during Myrtle Beach's peak season, Bike Week, and holiday weekends — when surge multipliers routinely hit 3x–5x.

Bike Week surge math (May, 500,000+ attendees):
MYR to Broadway at the Beach: Uber base $22 × 4.5x surge = $99
Detailed Drivers flat rate: $38 — savings: $61 (62%)
Peak summer Friday evening (July):
MYR to Grand Strand resort: Uber $28 × 3.5x = $98
Detailed Drivers flat rate: $38 — savings: $60 (61%)
Myrtle Beach International Airport (MYR) at 1100 Jetport Road serves approximately 3.5 million passengers annually, making it one of the fastest-growing airports in the Southeast. MYR operates a single terminal with 8 gates. Peak summer arrivals (Friday–Sunday, June–August) see high congestion on US-17 Business. Detailed Drivers monitors your flight in real time and adjusts pickup timing accordingly.
| Destination | Distance | Off-Peak | Peak Summer | Sedan Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Downtown Myrtle Beach / Boardwalk | 3 mi | 8–12 min | 18–30 min | $38 |
| Broadway at the Beach | 4 mi | 10–14 min | 20–35 min | $38 |

MYR arrival pickup instructions:
Your driver meets you at the baggage claim exit, holding a name sign. MYR baggage claim is on the ground level of the single terminal. For passenger pickup, Detailed Drivers stages in the cell phone lot and pulls to the curb at the commercial vehicle pickup lane (Door 2, south side of terminal) upon your text confirmation. Flight tracking is included — if your flight is delayed, your driver adjusts automatically.
The Grand Strand has more than 100 golf courses within a 30-mile radius, drawing 4+ million golf rounds annually. Detailed Drivers provides early morning golf course transfers — typically 5:30–7 AM tee times — when Uber availability in Myrtle Beach is unreliable and surge pricing is highest.
Sprinter Van for golf groups:
The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Van seats 10–14 passengers and accommodates full golf bags in the rear cargo area. A golf group of 8 splitting a Sprinter from their resort to TPC Myrtle Beach pays roughly $17/person each way — far less than four separate Uber rides at peak season surge pricing.

The Grand Strand's largest employer is hospitality and tourism, but a significant corporate base operates across real estate development, healthcare, and financial services. Burroughs & Chapin Company (1551 Phantom Dr, Myrtle Beach) is the Grand Strand's largest private landowner, managing 150,000+ acres across the region — their executive team and development partners book Detailed Drivers for site tours throughout Horry and Georgetown counties.
