Airport Transfers
Private airport transportation from Providenciales International Airport (PLS), the main Turks and Caicos airport on the island of Providenciales, to resorts and villas in Grace Bay, Long Bay, Turtle Cove, Leeward and Chalk Sound.
Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Providenciales 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.
Airport transportation in Turks and Caicos starts at Providenciales International Airport (PLS) on the island of Providenciales, and takes you to resorts and villas on Grace Bay, Long Bay, Turtle Cove, Leeward, Chalk Sound and Taylor Bay. This page covers arrivals at PLS only, not Grand Turk or the other islands.
Our Turks and Caicos airport transfers start right outside the arrivals exit of the terminal at Providenciales International Airport, where your driver waits after immigration and customs with a sign bearing your name. We follow your flight, so the pickup moves with your real landing time.
Choose a vehicle sized for your party, from a sedan for two to a van for a family or group, and each Turks and Caicos airport transfer goes door to door to your resort, villa or marina on Providenciales. Going on to North Caicos, Middle Caicos, Grand Turk or South Caicos? Those islands are reached by ferry or domestic flight. Enter the address in the booking form: when a vehicle is available for that route, the price shows before you pay; if it does not, contact us before you fly.
Our Turks and Caicos airport shuttle is a private van for your party only. Most taxis at the airport are large vans that run shared rides and often wait to fill up; ours leaves as soon as you have your bags and goes straight to your resort or villa, with no stops for other groups. There is room for suitcases, strollers and golf or kitesurf bags, so it suits families, groups and villa stays.
From private sedans to group vans. One fixed price per vehicle, whatever your party size.

Providenciales International Airport (PLS) sits in the middle of the island of Providenciales and handles more than 90% of the air traffic of the Turks and Caicos Islands. It was renamed Howard Hamilton International Airport in 2023, but the original name remains in common use. Grand Turk and South Caicos have their own airports, reached on domestic flights from the same terminal.
There is one terminal building for international and domestic flights. You show your passport, an onward or return ticket and the airline's paper immigration form in an immigration hall with 18 desks, where lines are longest on Saturdays and Sundays. Bags arrive on two belts just past immigration, then you pass customs and exit the terminal.
The airport, with customs and immigration, is open from 6 am to 8 pm. Turks and Caicos uses Eastern Time and observes daylight saving time.
Entry to Turks and Caicos. You need a valid passport and a valid onward or return ticket. US, UK and Canadian passports must be valid for the length of your stay, while other nationalities need six months of validity. Many nationalities need no visa.
Paper immigration form. Fill in the airline's paper immigration form in black or blue ink; home-printed copies are not accepted.
Customs allowance. A customs form is only needed if you carry goods above the duty-free allowance, and officers hand it out at customs.
US dollar and left-hand traffic. The US dollar is the official currency, and traffic drives on the left, which matters if you plan to rent a car for part of your stay.
