A Practical, Comfortable Solution for Your Charleston Journey
When arriving in or departing from Charleston, one of the most straightforward ways to get where you need to go is with a private transfer from Charleston Port to Charleston Airport (CHS). For around $135 per person, this 30-minute ride promises a stress-free experience that eliminates the long taxi lines and shared shuttle waits that many travelers dread. We love how this service offers door-to-door convenience—your driver waits for you at a scheduled time, helps with luggage, and delivers you directly to your airport or port.
Two aspects stand out immediately: the personalized service and the flexibility for larger groups. Whether you’re traveling solo or with a large family or group (up to 15 passengers), this transfer adapts seamlessly. The vehicles are fully licensed and insured, with clean interiors and professional drivers who speak English, making your ride comfortable and easy to communicate. One thing to consider is that, since it’s a private service, it might be slightly more expensive than shared shuttles, but the convenience and comfort often outweigh the extra cost. This experience suits travelers who value time-saving, direct service and those arriving or leaving during busy times when queues can be long.

Traveling from Charleston Port to Charleston Airport can be a logistical challenge if you don’t plan ahead. The last thing you want after a long cruise or flight is to wait in crowded taxi queues or shuttle lines. That’s where a private transfer truly makes life easier. With this service, your driver—waiting with a nameplate—knows your arrival time and is ready to whisk you away in a clean, comfortable vehicle.
The journey itself is uncomplicated: about 30 minutes, depending on traffic. The service can accommodate up to 15 passengers, which is handy for families, tour groups, or small corporate parties.
