- Vehicle class. Sedans for solo travelers and small parties, SUVs for families and PCS arrivals with luggage, Sprinter vans for larger groups and extended family arrivals.
- Time of day. Overnight pickups (10 PM to 5 AM) include a modest after-hours adjustment.
- Extra stops or wait time. Reasonable flexibility is built in, and extended stops are billed at the hourly rate.
- Peak periods. Rates stay the same, but availability tightens during summer PCS season (May through August), unit returns from deployment, holiday travel, and Marine Corps family weekends. Book early to lock in your preferred vehicle.

Meeting Your Chauffeur at Albert J. Ellis Airport
Albert J. Ellis Airport (OAJ) is one of the smallest commercial airports in North Carolina, with a single terminal building, three gates, and just two airlines operating commercial service: American Airlines (with daily flights to Charlotte/CLT) and Delta Air Lines (with daily flights to Atlanta/ATL). The terminal is compact, efficient, and easy to navigate, which makes pickup at OAJ exceptionally quick compared to larger airports. Here’s exactly what to expect.
Airport Address & Layout
Albert J. Ellis Airport is located at 264 Albert J. Ellis Airport Road, Richlands, NC 28574, about 13 miles northeast of downtown Jacksonville. The airport operates a single terminal with three gates. All departures are on the upper level (with check-in counters for American Airlines and Delta Air Lines), and all arrivals and baggage claim are on the lower level. Both rental car counters and ground transportation are located on the lower level adjacent to baggage claim. OAJ is owned and operated by Onslow County.
Standard Curbside Pickup
For most arrivals, your chauffeur will meet you at the commercial pickup area on the lower level, directly outside baggage claim. Here’s how it works:
- Before you land, your chauffeur is tracking your flight in real time.
- As you taxi to the gate, send a quick text to confirm.
- Walk through the terminal to baggage claim on the lower level (very short walk; OAJ is a small airport).
- Collect your luggage at the carousel.
- Step outside to the curbside pickup zone, where your chauffeur will be waiting. We’ll text the exact location and a vehicle description before you land.
- Your chauffeur loads your luggage and you’re on your way.
OAJ does not permit extended curbside waiting, so if there’s a brief delay between your call and the vehicle pulling up, your chauffeur is staged in the short-term parking lot just steps from the terminal entrance. From there, it’s typically under 2 minutes to the curb.
Premium Meet-and-Greet Service
For an elevated arrival, upgrade to in-terminal meet-and-greet. Your chauffeur will:
- Park in the short-term lot (just steps from the terminal entrance)
- Walk into the terminal before your flight lands
- Meet you at baggage claim with a personalized name placard
- Assist with luggage retrieval from the carousel
- Escort you to your vehicle
OAJ’s compact, three-gate layout makes this exceptionally quick. From gate to vehicle is usually under 10 minutes. This option is especially recommended for service members returning from deployment (family members are welcome to ride along), out-of-state family arriving to greet a Marine, first-time visitors to coastal Eastern North Carolina, PCS arrivals with significant luggage, and families with children or elderly travelers.
Departures: Drop-Off at CLT
For outbound flights, your chauffeur will drop you at the upper-level departures curb, directly in front of the airline check-in area. Recommended arrival times before scheduled departure:
- Domestic flights: 90 minutes before departure
- Peak periods (summer PCS season, holiday travel): 2 hours before departure
OAJ has a single TSA security checkpoint that typically moves quickly. Lines rarely exceed 15 minutes, even during morning departure peaks. The airport’s small size is one of its biggest advantages for departing travelers, you can go from curb to gate in under 30 minutes on most days.
Flight Tracking & Delays
Every reservation includes complimentary real-time flight monitoring. If your flight is delayed, diverted, or arrives early, your chauffeur is automatically updated and adjusts the pickup time. No rebooking required, no extra charges for standard delays.
OAJ has limited commercial service (American to Charlotte, Delta to Atlanta), and weather diversions can route flights to RDU, ILM, or even Norfolk during severe weather. If you’re rerouted to an alternate airport, call our 24/7 dispatcher at (910) 248-4652 and we’ll coordinate ground transportation from your alternate arrival point, including long-distance pickup from any major regional airport.
