Elly8.net books Savannah car service and limousines at fixed, all-in prices: Savannah/Hilton Head International (SAV) to the Historic District is priced from US$135 in a business sedan to US$355 in an Executive Sprinter. Your chauffeur tracks the flight, meets you at baggage claim with a name board, and drives you to an inn on a square, a hotel on River Street or the convention district on Hutchinson Island.
Savannah is a small city with a big visitor calendar. Weddings, girls' weekends, art school graduations and one of the country's best-known St. Patrick's Day celebrations bring groups that need to move together through narrow, one-way historic streets. This page covers the airport, the Historic District, the event weeks, trips to Tybee and Hilton Head, and an honest comparison with taxis, rideshare and the city's free downtown transit.
How much is a car service from Savannah airport to the Historic District?
A pre-booked car from Savannah/Hilton Head International (SAV) to the Historic District costs from US$135 in a business sedan, US$180 in a business SUV, US$220 in a first class SUV, US$240 in a first class sedan and US$355 in an Executive Sprinter. Every price is fixed per vehicle and all-in, including chauffeur, taxes, gratuity and meet and greet.
The airport sits about 10 miles (16 km) from the Historic District, roughly 20 minutes on a clear road. Traffic is lighter than in bigger cities, but the last mile through the squares is slow, and event weeks fill every street. The price does not change. A round trip, for your arrival and departure, is priced from US$260 in a sedan to US$675 in the Sprinter.
| Vehicle (per vehicle, all-in) | SAV to the Historic District | Round trip | By the hour (3-hour minimum) |

Arriving at Savannah/Hilton Head International (SAV)
SAV is a compact, easy airport. Your chauffeur meets you inside baggage claim with a name board, helps with bags, and walks you out to the car. The airport asks that limousine and sedan pickups be arranged before arrival, which is exactly how an Elly8.net booking works, according to the airport's ground transportation page.
Every pickup is flight-tracked, so if your connection through Atlanta or Charlotte runs late, the chauffeur adjusts to your real landing time, and you get complimentary waiting after a tracked landing to collect bags. Late-evening arrivals are where a pre-booked car helps most in a smaller city, when there are fewer cars on the road. Our Savannah airport car service and meet and greet pages explain the standard.
The airport serves Hilton Head Island as well as Savannah, and many visitors land at SAV and drive straight to the island. That trip is priced in the web booker, with the same flight tracking and meet and greet. Private and charter flights use the general aviation side of the field; send us the tail number and FBO and our private jet and FBO car service arranges the meeting.
The Historic District, River Street and Hutchinson Island
Savannah's Historic District is laid out on a grid of squares, which is beautiful to walk and slow to drive. A local chauffeur knows which streets run which way around each square, where a car can stop legally outside an inn, and how to reach River Street's cobbled lanes.
- The squares and Bull Street hold the boutique inns, house museums and churches, running south from City Hall to Forsyth Park.
- River Street and Bay Street line the waterfront with hotels, restaurants and the riverwalk.
- City Market and the streets around it are the busiest nightlife blocks downtown.
- Hutchinson Island, across the Savannah River, holds the Savannah Convention Center beside the Westin, reached by the bridge or by the free Savannah Belles Ferry.
- The Starland District, Midtown and the south side hold more hotels, restaurants and neighbourhood bars away from the tourist core.
For a day of house museums, lunch, shopping and dinner, an hourly chauffeur in Savannah is priced from US$95 an hour in a business sedan, 3-hour minimum, with the car waiting nearby. A full-day chauffeur runs from US$700 in a sedan to US$1,400 in an Executive Sprinter.
Weddings in Savannah
Savannah is one of the South's favourite wedding cities: ceremonies under the oaks in Forsyth Park or in a historic church on a square, receptions in restored mansions, riverside venues and plantation-style estates outside the city. That spread of venues is why transport planning matters. The Executive Sprinter moves the wedding party between the hotel, the ceremony and the photo stops; a first class sedan handles the couple; and guest shuttles run hourly between hotel blocks and the reception.
The desk builds the day backwards from the ceremony time, allowing for slow traffic around the squares and the time photographers need at each stop. See wedding limousine and guest shuttles for how we plan it, and book as soon as the venue is confirmed, since spring and autumn Saturdays are in demand.
Girls' weekends and bachelorette groups use the same Sprinter for dinner and nights out around City Market and River Street. The evening out and event night package is priced from US$475 in a business sedan to US$950 in an Executive Sprinter. Rules on alcohol differ between the street and a vehicle, so the chauffeur follows local rules inside the car and the ride is never planned around drinking.
St. Patrick's Day and the event calendar
The Savannah St. Patrick's Day Parade takes place on March 17, and the city's Irish community has celebrated the feast since 1824, beginning the day with Mass at the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist. On March 17, 2027, expect streets along the parade route to close, hotels to fill well ahead, and the city to use its power to set special temporary taxi rates for festivals. If you need a car that week, book early, plan drop-offs at the edge of the closures, and expect to walk the last blocks.
Through the rest of the year, the Enmarket Arena hosts the Savannah Ghost Pirates hockey team and concert tours, the Savannah Convention Center brings conferences to Hutchinson Island, and Savannah College of Art and Design events bring families to town through the year. For event nights, see event transportation and concert transportation. Teams at the convention center can book conference transportation with Sprinters on loops between hotels and the halls.
Corporate travel and the port
Savannah's business visitors come for the port and logistics companies, manufacturing sites around the metro area, and conventions. A corporate roadshow day is priced from US$855 in a business sedan to US$1,710 in an Executive Sprinter, which suits site visits that cover the port area, Pooler and downtown in one day. See corporate car service.
Firms that send people to Savannah regularly can open a corporate account for monthly invoicing and saved traveller profiles, and NDAs are available on request. Rides in Savannah 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. Partner vehicles are four model years old or newer.
Tybee Island, Fort Pulaski and Hilton Head
The classic escape from Savannah is east to Tybee Island for the beach, the lighthouse and seafood, passing Fort Pulaski National Monument on the way. A beach day works well as an hourly booking with the chauffeur waiting, or as two one-way transfers priced in the booker. Hilton Head Island, across the state line in South Carolina, is a common add-on for golfers and resort guests.
For a first visit, the private city highlights tour, from US$380 in a sedan to US$760 in a Sprinter, covers the squares, Forsyth Park, River Street, the cathedral and the historic cemeteries in one comfortable loop. See private city tours. If you are sailing from another port on the coast, our cruise port transfers and city to city car service handle the drive.
Elly8.net vs taxi vs rideshare vs public transit in Savannah
At SAV, Uber and Lyft pick up at the north entrance of baggage claim, and taxis wait on the lower level outside baggage claim, available on demand including for late-night arrivals, according to the airport. City-licensed taxis may charge no more than US$6.47 for the first mile and US$2.69 per mile after that, plus US$1 for each extra passenger, with a fuel surcharge allowed when local gas prices are high, per the airport's taxi rate page. At those maximum meter rates, the 10-mile run to the Historic District works out at roughly US$31 for one passenger before any surcharge, waiting time or tip, and the airport notes that drivers have flexibility to price competitively with rideshare.
Downtown, Chatham Area Transit charges US$1.50 for a one-way local bus ride and runs the free downtown dot shuttle and the free Savannah Belles Ferry between City Hall, the riverwalk and the convention center, according to CAT and its ferry page.
| Option | Price SAV to the Historic District | Time | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| City taxi | Metered, about US$31 at the maximum rate for one passenger, plus extras | About 20 min on a clear road | Walk-up arrivals, solo or couple |
| Uber / Lyft / Uber Black | Variable; rises on event weekends | Wait time plus traffic | Off-peak trips with light bags |
| Elly8.net business sedan | from US$135 fixed, all-in | About 20 min on a clear road | Late flights, couples, fixed budgets |
| Elly8.net Executive Sprinter | US$355 fixed, all-in | About 20 min on a clear road | Wedding parties and groups with bags |
| CAT dot shuttle and Belles Ferry | Free downtown | Varies | Getting around the Historic District once you are there |
The honest answer: one or two travellers with light bags, landing in the daytime, will get downtown for less in a taxi or app ride, and once you are in the Historic District the free dot shuttle and ferry are excellent. A pre-booked car makes sense when you land late, travel with children and child seats, arrive as a wedding party or group, or need a fixed time and price on a busy weekend. Split six ways, a US$355 Sprinter costs little more per person than a shared taxi, with everyone and every bag in one vehicle. See chauffeur vs taxi and chauffeur vs Uber and Lyft.

Frequently asked questions
How much is a car from Savannah airport to the Historic District?
From US$135 in a business sedan, US$180 in a business SUV, US$220 in a first class SUV, US$240 in a first class sedan and US$355 in an Executive Sprinter, one way per vehicle. Each price is fixed and all-in, covering the chauffeur, taxes, standard gratuity and meet and greet. Tolls, parking and extra waiting are billed at cost.
Where does the chauffeur meet me at SAV?
Inside baggage claim with a name board. The chauffeur helps with your bags and walks you to the car. Because every pickup is flight-tracked, a late connection through another hub is handled automatically, and you receive complimentary waiting after a tracked landing.
Can you drive us from SAV to Hilton Head Island?
Yes. Enter your Hilton Head hotel, villa or address in the web booker under the hero, and it returns a fixed, all-in price straight away, with the same flight tracking and meet and greet as a Savannah transfer. Groups with golf bags should choose a business SUV or the Executive Sprinter and list the bags in the notes.
Should we book a car for St. Patrick's Day?
Book early if you need one. Hotels fill well ahead and streets along the parade route close on March 17, so the chauffeur will drop you at the edge of the closures. An hourly booking keeps the car nearby for the day. If you are staying downtown, walking and the free dot shuttle may be all you need.
Do you supply child seats?
Yes, on request. Add the number of children and their ages or weights in the booking notes, and the desk confirms suitable seats with the local chauffeur partner. Families heading to Tybee often choose a business SUV for the extra room for beach gear and a stroller.
What is your cancellation policy?
Free cancellation more than 72 hours before pickup. At 72 hours or less we charge 10%, at 48 hours or less 50%, and at 24 hours or less, or for a no-show, 100%, refunded to the original card. For weddings, confirm timings with the desk early and move the booking rather than cancelling if plans change.
How do you handle wedding transportation?
We plan the day backwards from the ceremony time: the Executive Sprinter for the wedding party, a first class sedan for the couple, and hourly guest shuttles between hotel blocks and the reception. The chauffeur knows the streets around the squares and Forsyth Park, so drop-offs and photo stops stay on schedule.
Can my company open an account for Savannah trips?
Yes. Corporate accounts include monthly invoicing, saved traveller profiles, fixed prices and a 24/7 desk for changes. They suit port and logistics visits, convention teams on Hutchinson Island and regular SAV arrivals. NDAs are available on request, and travel agents, wedding planners and hotels can open accounts too.
