Airport Transfers

Grand Strand Airport Limo Service

Seven fields, one bid request. Post your flight or your tail number and licensed South Carolina operators come back with sealed prices, real vehicle photos and a wait policy you can read before you commit.

Get Transfer Bids Understand Blind Bidding

An airport limo in Myrtle Beach gets judged on one thing: whether the car is there when you walk out. Everything else, the leather, the water bottles, the badge on the grille, is decoration on top of a scheduling problem. That's why this hub is organized around fields rather than vehicles. Landing at a commercial terminal and stepping off a light jet onto a quiet ramp are two different jobs, and they fail in different ways.

We cover every public field serving the Grand Strand and the Charleston metro. Some are busy in July and nearly asleep in January. Some have no airline service at all and never will. Pick your field below, or post the trip and let operators sort it out; they know which of them actually works which curb.

Commercial Terminal or General Aviation Ramp

Almost every mistake we see at the booking stage comes from applying commercial airport habits to a private arrival, or the reverse. The two run on different clocks and need different information from you.

How a commercial pickup differs from a general aviation one
Detail	Commercial arrival	Private or charter arrival
What the operator tracks	Your flight number on a public schedule	Your tail number, plus updates from the crew or broker
Where you meet	Baggage claim with a name sign, or the commercial curb	The fixed base operator's door, or ramp side if escorted
Built in buffer	Twenty minutes of bag belt and walking	None. Engine off means you are outside
Main failure mode	A delay nobody passed on, then a wait charge	An early arrival nobody passed on, then an empty lobby
Hours to watch	Late night arrivals during the summer bank	Anything outside the FBO's staffed hours

Read down the column that matches your trip and put those items in your bid request. Operators quote from what you give them, so a request with a flight number and a bag count comes back sharper than one that says "airport to hotel, four people".

What Actually Moves the Price of an Airport Run

Distance matters less here than people expect. What moves a number is time on the clock, vehicle class, the hour of day and whether the driver has to park and walk in. A midnight arrival costs more than a midday one for the same miles, because the operator is paying somebody to be awake.

IfYou are one or two travelers with light bags, then an executive sedan is the cheapest sensible booking and the fastest to load.

IfYou are four adults with full size checked luggage, then request an SUV. The seats fit in a sedan; the suitcases do not.

IfAnyone is flying with golf clubs, then give bidders the number of travel covers. It changes the vehicle answer more often than the passenger count does.

IfYour group is six to fourteen, then a Sprinter van beats two separate cars on cost, and everyone arrives at the same time.

IfYou want the chauffeur waiting inside with a name sign, then say meet and greet explicitly, because curbside is the cheaper default.

IfYou already know your return flight, then post both legs together. Round trips price better than two one way bookings made weeks apart.

Honest Drive Time Ranges Across the Strand

Nobody can give you a precise minute figure for a coastal resort corridor with one main highway through the middle of it. What we can give you is ranges wide enough to be true. These start from the commercial airport, which is where most visitors land.

Myrtle Beach airport to the oceanfront hotel corridorRoughly 10 to 20 min
Myrtle Beach airport to Broadway at the BeachRoughly 10 to 25 min
Myrtle Beach airport to Market Common and Coastal GrandRoughly 5 to 15 min
Myrtle Beach airport to Murrells InletRoughly 20 to 40 min
Myrtle Beach airport to North Myrtle BeachRoughly 30 to 55 min
Myrtle Beach airport to Pawleys Island and LitchfieldRoughly 35 to 60 min
Myrtle Beach airport to GeorgetownRoughly 50 to 80 min
Myrtle Beach airport to the Charleston areaRoughly 2 to 3 hours

The narrow end of each range is an off season weekday. The wide end is a summer Saturday with a wreck on the bypass. Local chauffeurs choose between Kings Highway, the US 17 Bypass and the SC 31 parkway based on the hour rather than the map, and that judgment is worth more to your arrival time than the badge on the hood.

Delays, Diversions and the Wait Clock

This is where money quietly leaks out of airport bookings. Every operator has a free wait window and every operator defines it slightly differently, so read that clause before you accept a bid rather than after you get the invoice.

Three questions settle almost all of it. How long is the free wait after wheels down. Does the clock start at the scheduled time or the actual landing. And what happens if you divert, cancel or miss the flight entirely. Companies that work airport runs daily have clean answers ready. Companies that mostly do proms and weddings sometimes do not, which is useful information in itself.

Why Bidding Beats Ringing Around

The old way is you contact four companies, describe the same trip four times, and get four numbers that were each set assuming you would haggle. It takes an afternoon and it rewards whoever answers fastest rather than whoever runs the right vehicle.

Sealed bidding inverts that. You describe the trip once. Operators with a suitable vehicle free on your date submit a private number, none of them can see what the others quoted, and each bid carries a photo of the specific unit assigned to you. Your name, email and phone stay hidden until you accept one, so nothing gets resold and nothing starts ringing. For repeat travel, our executive account page covers standing arrangements instead of one off trips.

Airport Directory

Every Field We Cover, and What Each Is For

Four fields serve the Grand Strand directly. Three more sit in the Charleston metro, close enough that travelers regularly land there and drive up the coast when a schedule or a fare makes it worth doing.

Grand Strand and Horry County

MYR · Commercial

Myrtle Beach International

The Grand Strand's airline gateway, sitting in the city between the US 17 Bypass and Market Common. Meet and greet, curbside pickup and flight tracked arrivals.

MYR transfers CRE · General aviation

Grand Strand Airport

North Myrtle Beach's private field, minutes from Barefoot Landing, Ocean Drive and Cherry Grove. Cars meet the aircraft at the fixed base operator.

CRE arrivals HYW · General aviation

Conway-Horry County

The county's inland strip, a few minutes from historic Conway and Coastal Carolina University, with a straight run down US 501 to the beach.

HYW arrivals GGE · General aviation

Georgetown County

The southern end of the Strand, closest to Pawleys Island, Litchfield and the historic Georgetown waterfront. Private and charter traffic only.

GGE arrivals

Charleston Metro

CHS · Commercial

Charleston International

The region's larger airline airport, roughly two to three hours south of Myrtle Beach by road. Worth considering when the seasonal schedule at MYR does not line up with your dates, and the usual choice for travelers pairing a flight with a Charleston sailing.

CHS transfers JZI · General aviation

Charleston Executive

General aviation on Johns Island, west of the Charleston peninsula. Private and charter arrivals meet at the fixed base operator, with no baggage claim and no terminal curb to negotiate.

JZI arrivals LRO · General aviation

Mount Pleasant Regional

A small general aviation field east of the Cooper River, convenient to Mount Pleasant, Isle of Palms and Sullivan's Island. Ramp side coordination runs the same way it does at the Horry County fields.

Airport Transfer FAQ

What Travelers Ask Before They Book

Straight answers on wait policy, vehicle sizing, private arrivals and how far the Grand Strand really is from each field.

Which airport should I fly into for Myrtle Beach?

For scheduled airline travel, Myrtle Beach International is the obvious answer because it sits inside the city and puts most hotels within roughly 10 to 25 minutes. Charleston International is the fallback when the seasonal schedule at Myrtle Beach does not fit your dates, but it is roughly two to three hours away by road, so weigh the fare saving against the transfer. Private and charter flights have more choice, including the general aviation fields at North Myrtle Beach, Conway and Georgetown.

How does the operator know when my flight lands?

Give the flight number rather than the scheduled time and the operator tracks the inbound directly. For private arrivals, give the tail number and have the crew or broker push updated estimates the same way they do to the fixed base operator. A time is a guess that ages badly. A flight number or a tail number is a live data feed, and it is the single most useful thing you can put in a bid request.

How much free wait time do I get after landing?

It varies by operator, which is exactly why you should read that clause before accepting a bid. Ask three questions: how long the free wait lasts after wheels down, whether the clock starts at the scheduled time or the actual landing, and what happens if you divert or cancel. Companies that run airport work daily answer all three without hesitating. Ones that mostly do weddings and proms sometimes cannot, which tells you something useful.

What size vehicle do I need for my group and luggage?

Count bags, not people. One or two travelers with light luggage fit an executive sedan. Four adults with full size checked bags need an SUV, because the seats fit in a sedan but the suitcases do not. Six to fourteen with luggage is Sprinter van territory. Golf travel covers change the answer more often than passenger count does, so give bidders the number of covers coming off the aircraft or the belt.

Can you meet a private jet at the general aviation ramp?

Normally the vehicle waits at the fixed base operator's door, and you walk out through the lobby a few steps to the car. Driving onto the ramp beside the aircraft is sometimes possible, but ramp access is controlled, usually requires an escort, and is granted at the discretion of the airport and the FBO rather than by your ground operator. Confirm the meeting point with the FBO in advance instead of assuming either way.

How far in advance should I book an airport transfer?

For summer weekends, spring golf season and holiday weeks, post as soon as you have a flight number, because weddings, bachelor parties and golf groups are competing for the same Sprinters and SUVs on those dates. Off season weekdays are far easier and can often be arranged with a few days of notice. Posting early costs nothing and tells you immediately whether the market is tight for your date.

Are the operators bidding on my transfer licensed and insured?

Yes. Every company in the network holds active South Carolina business registration and the passenger carrier authority its vehicle class requires, with commercial livery insurance on file. We verify that before a company can submit its first bid, not after a complaint. Bids also include photos of the specific vehicle assigned to your booking rather than a stock image of a fleet.
