Jacksonville is spread out in a way that surprises first-time visitors: the airport is well north of downtown, the beaches are a separate drive east, and the golf and resort country of Ponte Vedra and the island hotels of Amelia Island sit in opposite directions along the coast. A pre-booked Elly8.net chauffeur makes those distances simple. Jacksonville International Airport (JAX) to downtown is fixed at US$165 in a Business Sedan up to US$430 in an Executive Sprinter, all-in, with flight tracking and meet and greet included.
Rides in Jacksonville are operated by licensed, commercially insured local chauffeur partners vetted through the Limousine Worldwide network; Elly8.net takes the booking, fixes the price and runs the 24/7 desk. Below: the airport, the neighbourhoods and venues, the tournament and concours calendar, St. Augustine, and a fair comparison with a taxi, an app ride and the bus.
What does a JAX airport car service to downtown cost?
An Elly8.net car from Jacksonville International Airport to downtown Jacksonville costs US$165 in a Business Sedan, US$215 in a Business SUV, US$265 in a First Class SUV, US$290 in a First Class Sedan and US$430 in an Executive Sprinter. Prices are per vehicle and all-in: chauffeur, taxes, standard gratuity and airport meet and greet.
The drive is about 15 miles (24 km), roughly 25 minutes on a clear road down I-95. Morning and evening commutes, bridge traffic over the St. Johns River and game days at the stadium can stretch that considerably, but the fixed price does not change. A round trip, airport to downtown and back, is US$315 in a Business Sedan up to US$820 in an Executive Sprinter.
Downtown is our reference point. Hotels in San Marco, Riverside, the beaches or Ponte Vedra are quoted by exact address in the web booker, and the price is fixed before you pay.
Arriving at Jacksonville International Airport (JAX)
JAX is a single-terminal airport, which makes meeting easy. According to the airport's ground transportation page, taxis, limousines and shared rides are handled from booths on the Lower Level outside Baggage Claim, app rides are requested at the curb with signs at Poles 1 and 2 on the Lower Arrival Curb, and all authorized pre-arranged transportation providers must pick up passengers in the Ground Transportation Area rather than at the public curb or in the hourly garage.
Your Elly8.net chauffeur follows those rules. The chauffeur tracks your flight, meets you inside with a name board, helps with bags at the carousel and walks you to the vehicle in the Ground Transportation Area. There is complimentary waiting after a tracked landing, so a delayed connection through Atlanta or Charlotte does not cost you anything. Our airport transfers page explains how meeting works across the network.
| From JAX to | Distance and time | Business Sedan | Business SUV | First Class Sedan | Executive Sprinter |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Downtown Jacksonville | 15 mi (24 km), about 25 min clear road | US$165 | US$215 | US$290 | US$430 |
| Downtown, round trip | same, both ways | US$315 | US$410 | US$555 | US$820 |
| Beaches, Ponte Vedra, Amelia Island | by address | web booker | web booker | web booker | web booker |
The First Class SUV is US$265 one way and US$505 round trip. For a group or a family with car seats and luggage, the Business SUV at US$215 is usually the right size; the Executive Sprinter seats a wedding party or a golf group with bags.
Downtown, the river and the neighbourhoods
Downtown Jacksonville sits on both banks of the St. Johns River. The city's tourism office, Visit Jacksonville, points visitors to San Marco on the Southbank near downtown and to the walkable historic districts of Riverside Avondale, and it notes the city's 22 miles of beaches. Those are the places our Jacksonville bookings tend to end: business hotels downtown and on the Southbank, restaurants and boutiques in San Marco and Riverside, and beach hotels on the coast.
Much of downtown's event calendar runs through city venues managed by Legends Global, which lists VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena, the Prime F. Osborn III Convention Center, Daily's Place, VyStar Ballpark, the Jacksonville Center for the Performing Arts, the Ritz Theatre and Museum and EverBank Stadium. For a concert at the arena or a show at the performing arts centre, our evening out and event night package, US$475 in a Business Sedan up to US$950 in an Executive Sprinter, covers dinner, the show and the ride home with the car waiting. For simpler plans, book by the hour from US$95 in a Business Sedan, three-hour minimum, on our hourly chauffeur page.
EverBank Stadium and the Jaguars
The Jaguars play at EverBank Stadium, the stadium formerly known as TIAA Bank Field. The stadium is in the middle of a major rebuild. According to the Jaguars' Stadium of the Future timeline, the team plays its 2026 home games in Jacksonville with reduced capacity, moves its 2027 home games to Camping World Stadium in Orlando, and the renovated stadium is scheduled to open in August 2028.
That matters for planning. A 2026 game day downtown still brings heavy traffic and road closures around the stadium district, and we plan drop-offs away from the tightest blocks. For 2027 home games, fans travelling to Orlando can book a round trip through our Orlando car service page or a one-way city-to-city car service. See our sports event transportation page for game-day timing.
Ponte Vedra, TPC Sawgrass and THE PLAYERS
South of the beaches, Ponte Vedra Beach is home to TPC Sawgrass and its Stadium Course. THE PLAYERS Championship returns there March 9 to 14, 2027. Tournament week is one of the busiest weeks of the year for Jacksonville ground transportation: corporate hospitality guests fly into JAX, beach and resort hotels fill, and the roads into Ponte Vedra are congested at the start and end of each day.
We book JAX arrivals for hospitality guests, hourly cars that wait during a round, and Executive Sprinters for groups moving between resorts and the course. Book early for tournament week, because demand for chauffeured SUVs is high. Corporate hosts can run the whole week on one corporate account with monthly invoicing, and our corporate car service page explains how we handle guest lists.
Amelia Island and The Amelia
North of the airport, Amelia Island is a resort island reached by a short drive from JAX. Its biggest week for visitors with collector cars is The Amelia concours, March 4 to 7, 2027, when auction guests and collectors fill the island hotels. A chauffeur avoids the parking problem entirely and lets you spend the day on the show field. Amelia Island addresses are quoted in the web booker; book well ahead for concours week. The Amelia Island tourism site has the island's own event calendar.
St. Augustine: the signature day trip
Jacksonville's classic day out is St. Augustine, which its tourism board, Florida's Historic Coast, calls the nation's oldest city. The Castillo de San Marcos National Monument anchors the historic district, and the old town is best on foot, with the car dropping you at the edge of the district and collecting you at an agreed time.
Our six-hour St. Augustine package is priced at US$525 in a Business Sedan, US$665 in a Business SUV, US$805 in a First Class SUV, US$860 in a First Class Sedan and US$1,050 in an Executive Sprinter. That covers the drive down, time to walk the old streets, lunch and the drive back to Jacksonville. For a longer coastal day, the full-day chauffeur runs from US$700 to US$1,400, and our private city tours page explains how we plan stops.
Taxi, app ride, bus or Elly8.net from JAX
There is a fair case for each option, and we would rather you pick the right one.
| Option | Price to downtown | Booking | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Taxi from the JAX booths | metered; JAX does not publish a fare estimate | none needed | One traveller, light bag, daytime arrival |
| App ride (Uber, Lyft) | varies with demand; higher at peak | request at the curb | Flexible travellers comfortable with surge pricing |
| JTA bus | US$1.75 regular fare | check JTA's trip planner | Budget travellers with time and carry-on bags |
| Elly8.net Business Sedan | US$165 fixed, all-in | pre-booked, flight tracked | Business arrivals, late flights, a fixed budget |
| Elly8.net Business SUV | US$215 fixed, all-in | pre-booked, flight tracked | Families with child seats, golf bags |
| Elly8.net Executive Sprinter | US$430 fixed, all-in | pre-booked, flight tracked | Groups, wedding parties, corporate teams |
The bus fare is from the Jacksonville Transportation Authority, which publishes a US$1.75 regular cash fare; check the JTA trip planner for airport service and times before you rely on it. App rides are a fine choice for a quick daytime hop, though prices rise when demand does, for example after a game or a big concert.
The pre-booked car makes sense when you land late, when there are more people or bags than a standard car takes, when you need child seats, when a meeting or a tee time is fixed, or when you want to know the full price before you travel. For one traveller with a carry-on on a quiet afternoon, a taxi or an app ride will usually cost less. We set out the trade-offs in chauffeur vs Uber and Lyft and Uber Black vs a pre-booked chauffeur.
Corporate travel, medical visits and roadshows
Jacksonville's business travel mixes finance, logistics, the port and a large medical sector, including the Mayo Clinic campus in the southeast of the city. For patients and families travelling for appointments, we book door-to-door cars from JAX with help with bags and complimentary waiting after a tracked landing; tell us about mobility needs at booking.
For investor meetings and multi-stop business days, our corporate roadshow day runs from US$855 in a Business Sedan to US$1,710 in an Executive Sprinter, with the chauffeur staying with you all day. NDAs are available on request. See our roadshow chauffeur page.
Weddings and celebrations
Jacksonville weddings range from downtown ballrooms to beach venues and historic St. Augustine. We book a First Class Sedan for the couple and Executive Sprinters for guest shuttles between hotels and the venue, with return runs timed to the end of the reception. Our wedding limousine page covers timing and group planning. Chauffeurs follow local rules on board for every celebration.

Where does my chauffeur meet me at JAX?
Inside the terminal with a name board, then at the vehicle in the airport's Ground Transportation Area, where all authorized pre-arranged providers must load. JAX has one terminal, so meeting is straightforward. Add your flight number when you book and the chauffeur tracks the landing.
Do you go to Ponte Vedra, the beaches and Amelia Island?
Yes. These are priced by exact address in the web booker rather than on the downtown table, because the distances vary a great deal. The price is fixed before you pay. For THE PLAYERS week in March and The Amelia concours, book early because demand is high.
How much is the St. Augustine day trip?
The six-hour St. Augustine package is US$525 in a Business Sedan, US$665 in a Business SUV, US$805 in a First Class SUV, US$860 in a First Class Sedan and US$1,050 in an Executive Sprinter.

Are child seats available?
Yes, on request. Give the number of children and their seat type when you book and the seats are installed before pickup. For families flying into JAX with luggage, a Business SUV is usually the most comfortable choice, with room for seats, strollers and beach bags.
What if my flight is delayed?
The chauffeur tracks the flight and adjusts to the real landing time. You get complimentary waiting after a tracked landing, so inbound delays are not charged. Waiting beyond the included time is billed at cost, and the desk will always tell you before that happens where possible.
What is the cancellation policy?
Free cancellation more than 72 hours before pickup; 10% at 72 hours or less; 50% at 48 hours or less; 100% at 24 hours or less or for a no-show. Refunds go back to the original card. For tournament and concours weeks, book early and adjust details within those windows.
