What Affects Your Limo Service Rate
Your final quote reflects a few factors specific to your trip:
- Destination. Transfers to Raleigh, Durham, RTP, and Cary are flat-rate. Longer trips to Chapel Hill, Pinehurst, Fayetteville, Greensboro, or Wilmington are calculated by mileage.
- Vehicle class. Sedans for business travelers and small parties; SUVs for executives and families; Sprinters for groups, wedding parties, and corporate retreats.
- Time of day. Overnight pickups (10 PM–5 AM) include a modest after-hours adjustment.
- Extra stops or wait time. Reasonable flexibility is built in; extended stops are billed at the hourly rate.
- Peak periods. Rates stay the same — but availability tightens during Duke vs. UNC games, ACC and NCAA tournament weekends, university graduations (May), tech industry conferences in RTP, and holiday travel. Book early to guarantee your preferred vehicle.

Meeting Your Chauffeur at Raleigh-Durham International Airport
Raleigh-Durham International Airport is one of the fastest-growing airports in the country, serving over 14 million passengers annually with 400+ daily flights to 80 destinations across 19 airlines. RDU has two separate terminals – Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 — that aren’t connected indoors. Knowing which terminal you’re arriving at matters, because your chauffeur needs to be at the right one. Here’s exactly what to expect at each.
Airport Address & Layout
Terminal 1 vs. Terminal 2 RDU’s two terminals sit about 0.3 miles apart, on opposite sides of the airport, connected by a looping access road:
- Terminal 1 — Southwest Airlines and Spirit Airlines only. Smaller, single-level entry with ticketing, security, baggage claim, and ground transportation in a compact footprint.
- Terminal 2 — Everyone else: American, Delta, United, JetBlue, Alaska, Air Canada, Frontier, Allegiant, Avelo, Breeze, Sun Country. Larger, two-level layout with departures on the upper level (Level 2) and arrivals/baggage claim on the lower level (Level 1).
When you book, give us your airline and flight number — we’ll be staged at the correct terminal before you land.
Standard Curbside Pickup
For most arrivals, your chauffeur will meet you at the designated curbside pickup area outside baggage claim:
- Before you land, your chauffeur is tracking your flight in real time.
- As you taxi to the gate, send a quick text to confirm.
- Collect your luggage at the carousel assigned to your flight.
- Exit to the curbside pickup zone — Terminal 1’s pickup curb, or Terminal 2’s lower (arrivals) level curb.
- Your chauffeur loads your luggage and you’re on your way.
Per RDU policy, vehicles must remain in active loading/unloading mode at the curb – no extended waiting is permitted. If there’s a brief delay between your call and the vehicle arriving, your chauffeur is staged at the free RDU Cell Phone Lot at 1000 Trade Drive in Morrisville, located near the rental car center – just a 3-minute drive from both terminals.
Premium Meet-and-Greet Service
For an elevated arrival, upgrade to in-terminal meet-and-greet. Your chauffeur parks, walks into the terminal, and meets you at the designated meeting location:
- Terminal 2 domestic arrivals: “The Meeting Place” on the Ticketing Level, adjacent to Beyu Caffé
- Terminal 2 international arrivals: at Bag Claim 1 (after customs clearance)
- Terminal 1 arrivals: at the baggage claim area on the ground level
Recommended for international arrivals, VIPs, first-time visitors to the Triangle, families with children or elderly travelers, and anyone with significant luggage.
Departures: Drop-Off at CLT
For outbound flights, your chauffeur will drop you at the correct level for your terminal:
- Terminal 1: ground-level curbside drop-off, directly at the ticketing entrance
- Terminal 2: upper-level (Level 2) departures curb, in front of your airline’s check-in area
Recommended arrival times before scheduled departure:
- Domestic flights: 2 hours before departure
- International flights: 3 hours before departure
- Monday mornings, Friday evenings, and major event weekends: add 30 minutes
RDU security peaks are 5–8 AM a
Flight Tracking & Delays
Every reservation includes complimentary real-time flight monitoring. If your inbound 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.
RDU is a regional weather alternate, so diversions to Charlotte, Greensboro, or Norfolk can happen during severe weather. If you’re rerouted, call our 24/7 dispatcher at (910) 248-4652 and we’ll coordinate ground transportation from your alternate arrival airport, including long-distance pickup from CLT or GSO.
