Chauffeured Cars and Shuttles on Tybee Island
Tybee is eighteen miles east of Savannah on US-80, and there is exactly one road on and off the island. That’s charming most of the time and a serious problem on a summer Saturday, during a king tide, or when there’s an accident on the causeway.
It also means parking is genuinely scarce. Tybee’s metered lots fill by mid-morning in season, the enforcement is aggressive, and a rented beach house rarely has room for four cars.
We run chauffeured transportation to and from the island — airport transfers, wedding shuttles, group charters, and evening runs into Savannah.
Airport Transfers From Tybee
Savannah/Hilton Head International (SAV) is 35 to 50 minutes from Tybee depending on traffic through downtown and out US-80. It’s a longer run than most visitors expect, and one where a missed connection on the ground has real consequences.
We track your flight, meet you inside at baggage claim, and quote the run flat-rate. On the outbound side we build the pickup around the causeway, not around a generic drive time — because when US-80 backs up, it backs up completely.
Charleston International (CHS) is about two hours north and worth considering for better fares. Hilton Head Island Airport (HHH) runs roughly an hour and fifteen. See airport transportation and shuttle.
Beach Weddings on Tybee
Tybee is one of Georgia’s most popular beach wedding spots, and the logistics follow a familiar pattern: a ceremony on the sand near the pier or at the north end by the lighthouse, a reception at a rented house or one of the island’s event venues, and guests split between Tybee rentals and hotels back in Savannah.
That thirty-to-forty-minute gap between guest lodging and the venue is exactly what a shuttle is for. We run timed loops from Savannah hotel clusters out to the island and back, and hold a vehicle for the late return so nobody drives US-80 after the reception. See wedding transportation.
Bachelorette Groups and Beach Weekends
Tybee draws a lot of bachelorette and birthday groups, usually staying in a rented house and splitting time between the beach and downtown Savannah. Getting twelve people from a Tybee rental to River Street and back at 1 a.m. is not a rideshare problem you want to solve in real time.
We hold the vehicle for the night instead of doing one-way drops, so the group stays together. See birthday party transportation and limousine services.
Family Reunions and Group Rentals
Large Tybee house rentals mean extended families arriving on a dozen different flights over two days. We handle staggered airport pickups, then a single vehicle for group outings — Fort Pulaski, dolphin tours at the marina, dinner in Savannah — without anyone hunting for parking. See group transportation.
The Fleet and Our Authority
Sedans and SUVs for one to six passengers. Executive sprinters for eight to fourteen. Larger coaches for weddings and reunions.
We hold FMCSA interstate authority under USDOT #3896899 and MC #1457054, and South Carolina limousine licensing under ORS #9758. If you’re being quoted a Tybee-to-Hilton Head run by anyone, that federal authority is what makes it legal.
Common Questions
How long does it really take to get from Tybee to the airport?
Plan on 35 to 50 minutes. In peak summer or during an event weekend, we’ll pull the pickup earlier — US-80 has no alternative route.
Can a vehicle get to a beachfront rental?
Yes. Give us the exact address at booking; some of the north end streets are narrow and we’ll assign a vehicle that fits.
Do you do one-way drops to Savannah for a night out?
We can, but for a group we’d usually recommend holding the vehicle. Getting a ride back from downtown to Tybee late at night is unreliable.
Do you serve Pooler and Savannah too?
Yes. See our service area page for the full list.
