Daufuskie Island Car Service & Ferry Transfers

Getting To and From Daufuskie Island

Daufuskie has no bridge. That single fact shapes every trip to the island — you get there by boat, which means the real transportation question isn’t “how do I get to Daufuskie,” it’s “how do I get to the ferry on time with my luggage.”

That’s the part we handle. We run chauffeured transfers from Savannah, Hilton Head, Bluffton, Charleston, and anywhere else in the region to the Hilton Head ferry landings, and we’re there when the boat comes back.

Airport-to-Ferry Transfers

The typical Daufuskie arrival goes like this: fly into Savannah, collect bags, drive 45 to 65 minutes to Hilton Head, park somewhere, find the right dock, and make a scheduled departure. Miss the boat and you’re waiting on the next one — which on Daufuskie can mean hours.

We take the guesswork out of it. Your flight is tracked, your driver is at baggage claim, and we build the ferry schedule into the pickup time rather than hoping traffic cooperates on US-278.

From Savannah/Hilton Head International (SAV): 45 to 65 minutes to the Hilton Head landings.
From Hilton Head Island Airport (HHH): 15 to 25 minutes.
From Charleston International (CHS): roughly two hours.

All quoted flat-rate, with luggage capacity planned for actual vacation loads rather than a carry-on each. See airport transportation and shuttle.

Wedding Weekends on Daufuskie

Daufuskie weddings are worth the effort and they are unquestionably more logistics than a mainland event. Guests arrive over two or three days, from multiple airports, on flights that land at inconvenient hours. Every one of them needs to reach a boat.

We stage vehicles around the arrival pattern — grouping guests onto shared transfers where the timing works, running individual pickups where it doesn’t, and putting the whole thing on a schedule your planner can actually hand out. On the back end, we’re at the landing when the return ferry docks so nobody is standing on a dock with luggage calling a rideshare that won’t come.

Golf Groups and Corporate Retreats

Daufuskie’s courses and the island’s private club properties draw golf groups and small corporate retreats, usually four to sixteen people arriving together. That’s a sprinter’s worth of passengers and a considerable amount of luggage and golf equipment.

We handle the mainland legs — airport to ferry, ferry to airport — and coordinate the timing with your host property. Our golf transportation and executive transportation pages cover how those trips are structured.

What We Do and Don’t Cover

To be straightforward about it: we operate on the mainland. Once you’re on Daufuskie, island transportation is golf carts and the property’s own vehicles — that’s simply how the island works, and no one runs a limo out there.

What we guarantee is the mainland side. You reach the ferry with time to spare, and there’s a vehicle waiting when you come back.

The Fleet

Sedans and SUVs for one to six passengers with luggage. Executive sprinters for eight to fourteen, which is the right vehicle for most Daufuskie wedding and golf groups. Larger coaches for bigger movements.

Licensed by the State of South Carolina under ORS #9758 and by the FMCSA under USDOT #3896899 and MC #1457054 — the federal authority that permits us to carry paying passengers from Georgia into South Carolina, which covers every Savannah-to-ferry run we do.

Common Questions

Which ferry landing do I need?
It depends on where you’re staying. Public ferry service and the private Haig Point boat leave from different points on Hilton Head. Tell us your accommodation at booking and we’ll take you to the right dock.

What happens if my flight is delayed and I miss the boat?
We track the flight and adjust. If the delay is bad enough to miss the last departure, we’ll get you to a Hilton Head hotel and run you to the first ferry the next morning.

Can you carry golf clubs and a week of luggage?
Yes. Tell us the bag count when you book and we’ll size the vehicle properly rather than guessing.

Do you serve Bluffton and Beaufort as well?
Yes. The full coverage list is on our service area page.
