Airport Transportation in Savannah

Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.

After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.

Our airport transportation in Savannah takes you from SAV to hotels, inns and rentals in the Historic District, on River Street and around the squares, out to Tybee Island, and across the state line to Hilton Head Island and Bluffton.

Savannah Airport Transfers

Savannah airport transfers start in baggage claim on Level 1, where every arriving passenger comes down from the single concourse and your driver meets you with a name sign. We track your flight, so the pickup follows your real landing time, and the price is fixed per vehicle and agreed before you fly, from a sedan for two to a van for a family, a golf group or a wedding party with luggage.

Each Savannah airport transfer goes door to door to your hotel, inn or vacation rental in Savannah, Pooler or Richmond Hill, to your beach house on Tybee Island, or to your resort or rental on Hilton Head Island. Heading farther, to Beaufort or the Golden Isles? Enter your address in the booking form to see whether a transfer is offered.

Savannah Airport Shuttle

Our Savannah airport shuttle is a private van for your party only, not a shared shuttle that stops at other hotels and rentals on the way to Hilton Head or Tybee. It leaves as soon as you have your bags, with room for golf clubs, beach gear and strollers, and suits families, golfers and groups.

Landing at Savannah Airport

Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport (SAV) is in Savannah, Georgia, beside Interstate 95, and the Savannah Airport Commission runs it. Every airline uses one terminal: gates are on a single concourse past security, and a concourse expansion is under way.

All scheduled flights into Savannah are domestic, so there is no passport control or customs on arrival; travelers from abroad clear US immigration at their first US airport. You walk from the gate down to baggage claim on Level 1, where the car rental counters and the Visitor Information Center are, and pre-booked drivers meet passengers there.

Savannah and Hilton Head Island are on Eastern Time and follow US daylight saving time.

Entry requirements and local notes

Domestic airport. SAV has no scheduled international flights, so visitors from abroad clear US immigration at their connecting airport, with an ESTA or visa as their nationality requires.

SAV, not HXD. Hilton Head Island has its own small airport, Hilton Head Island Airport (HXD). This page is for Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport (SAV), so check the code on your ticket.

Gated communities. Many Hilton Head resorts and rentals are inside gated communities such as Sea Pines and Palmetto Dunes, so give the community, the street address and any gate pass details when you book.

St. Patrick's Day. Savannah's St. Patrick's Day celebrations around March 17 bring large crowds and street closures in the Historic District, so allow extra time that week.

Savannah Airport Transportation FAQs

Where will my driver meet me at Savannah airport?

In baggage claim on Level 1 of the single terminal, holding a sign with your name. Every arriving passenger comes down to baggage claim, so collect your bags and look for your driver there.

How far is Savannah airport from downtown Savannah and Hilton Head?

The airport is about 8 miles (13 km) northwest of the Historic District, about 20 minutes by road. Hilton Head Island is about 45 minutes away, and longer in summer traffic or to the far end of the island.

Can you take me to the Historic District and River Street?

Yes. We drive to hotels, inns and vacation rentals in the Historic District, on River Street and around the squares. Give your full address, as some inns face one-way streets around the squares.

Can you take me to Hilton Head Island or Bluffton?

Yes. We drive across the state line to resorts, hotels and rentals on Hilton Head Island and in Bluffton. For gated communities such as Sea Pines or Palmetto Dunes, give the community name and any gate pass details.

Can you take me to Tybee Island?

Yes. We drive to hotels, beach houses and rentals on Tybee Island. Give the full address, as many rentals share similar names.

Can you take me to Beaufort, Jekyll Island or St. Simons Island?

Beaufort is north of Hilton Head in South Carolina, and Jekyll Island and St. Simons Island are on the Georgia coast to the south. Enter your address in the booking form to see whether a transfer is offered; if it is not, contact us before you fly.

Is this page for Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport?

Yes. This page books rides from Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport (SAV) in Georgia. Hilton Head Island Airport (HXD) on the island is a separate, smaller airport, so check the code on your ticket.

How many terminals does Savannah airport have?

One. All airlines use the same terminal, and every arriving passenger exits through the same baggage claim on Level 1, so there is no terminal to choose when you book.

Do you drive to vacation rentals and beach houses?

Yes. Give the full street address, the house or unit number and any gate or access code. On Tybee and Hilton Head, add the rental company's name in case the driver needs to confirm the location.

Can I book a pickup for a late-night or early-morning flight?

Yes. Book your flight time as it is on your ticket, and we track the arrival, so your driver is there when you land, late at night included.

Should I accept rides from people offering transportation in the terminal?

There is no need. Booking ahead gives you a confirmed vehicle and a meeting point before you land. Use the official taxi line or your booked driver, and check the company name before getting in.

What happens if my flight is delayed or canceled?

We monitor the flight on your reservation, so your driver waits for the actual landing. If your flight number, date or airline changes, or your flight is canceled, tell customer service so the pickup can be moved.

Can I book a ride back to Savannah airport?

Yes. Book a one-way departure or a round trip from your hotel, rental or resort in Savannah, Tybee or Hilton Head, and give your flight number and departure time, so the pickup leaves time for check-in and security.

Is Airport Transportation the same as Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport?

No. Airport Transportation is a transfer booking site for rides from SAV; we are not the airport or its operator. For terminals, airlines and other ways to get around, see our Savannah airport page.
