St. Simons Island Car Service
Private chauffeured transportation between St. Simons Island, Jacksonville, JAX Airport, Savannah, Brunswick and Georgia’s Golden Isles.
Unique Corporate Limos is a family-owned Jacksonville company providing prearranged private car service to St. Simons Island, Georgia. We drive travelers from Jacksonville International Airport, Savannah, Brunswick and the island’s own private aviation airport to resorts, vacation rentals and homes across the island, and back again for departures. Every reservation is a private vehicle with a professional chauffeur, door to door, in a Cadillac XT6, Lincoln Navigator L Reserve or 14-passenger Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. We operate 24/7 by reservation for airport arrivals, resort stays, golf trips, private flights, weddings and business travel.

Private Transportation to St. Simons Island
Our St. Simons Island car service is reservation-based chauffeured transportation. You book a pickup time and place, and we assign one private vehicle and one professional chauffeur to your trip. Nobody else rides with you. There are no shared-passenger stops; your vehicle follows the itinerary confirmed for your reservation.
That is the difference from a shared airport shuttle. A shuttle runs on its own timetable and fills its seats with other passengers. Your reservation is built around your flight, your passenger count, your luggage and your itinerary, and the vehicle goes door to door from the terminal, aircraft or front door to the exact address where you’re staying on the island.

- Airport arrivals and departures
- Resort and hotel stays
- Vacation rentals and private homes
- Golf trips
- Private aviation arrivals

JAX Airport to St. Simons Island Car Service
Unique Corporate Limos provides direct private transportation between Jacksonville International Airport (JAX) and St. Simons Island, Georgia. It is the Golden Isles route we drive most often. For most visitors it is also the most practical way to reach the island, because JAX typically offers a much broader commercial flight schedule than the airports closest to St. Simons.
The drive is about 70 miles. From the airport we take I-95 North across the Georgia line to Brunswick, cross the F.J. Torras Causeway onto the island, and drive straight to your hotel, resort, rental or home. Plan on roughly 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes, depending on traffic and where on the island you’re staying.
We monitor your flight, so a delay or early landing moves your pickup rather than your plans. Your chauffeur meets you inside the terminal, handles your luggage and walks you to the vehicle. For the trip home, we set your pickup time by working backward from your departing flight.
JAX arrivals include flight monitoring and inside-terminal meet and greet. See our Jacksonville Airport Car Service page for complete arrival and pickup information.
Which Airport Is Best for St. Simons Island?
Travelers commonly use four airports when visiting St. Simons Island. JAX typically offers the broadest commercial flight schedule, Brunswick Golden Isles (BQK) is the closest commercial airport, and McKinnon St. Simons Island Airport (SSI) on the island handles private aircraft. We provide private car service from all four.
| Airport | Code | Approximate distance | Typical drive | Best use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jacksonville International | JAX | About 70 miles | 1 hr 10 min to 1 hr 30 min | Broadest commercial flight schedule |
| Savannah/Hilton Head International | SAV | About 80 to 90 miles | 1 hr 20 min to 1 hr 40 min | Flights from the north, or trips that include Savannah |
| Brunswick Golden Isles | BQK | About 15 miles | 20 to 30 min | Closest commercial airport, more limited schedule |
| McKinnon St. Simons Island | SSI | On the island | Usually 15 min or less | Private jets and charter flights |
Drive times are typical ranges, not guarantees. Traffic, weather and your exact island address all affect the trip.
Savannah Airport to St. Simons Island
Savannah/Hilton Head International (SAV) works well if your flights connect better from the north, or if you’re pairing St. Simons with a stay in Savannah. We provide prearranged private transfers from SAV to St. Simons Island, about 80 to 90 miles south on I-95, with flight monitoring, luggage assistance and direct delivery to your island address. Book one way or round trip. For a round trip, we schedule the return around your checkout time and departing flight.
Brunswick Golden Isles Airport to St. Simons
Brunswick Golden Isles Airport (BQK) is the closest commercial airport to St. Simons, roughly 15 miles away by U.S. 17 and the F.J. Torras Causeway. BQK has a more limited commercial schedule than JAX or SAV, but the transfer itself is short. We meet arriving passengers, load the luggage and drive directly to your resort, rental or residence. We also handle departures from the island back to BQK, timed to your flight.
Private Aviation Transportation at St. Simons Island Airport, SSI
McKinnon St. Simons Island Airport (SSI) is located on St. Simons Island itself and serves general aviation: private jets, charters and owner-flown aircraft. It is the most direct way onto the island, and it also serves travelers headed to Sea Island and Little St. Simons Island.
For SSI arrivals, we stage the chauffeur and vehicle from your confirmed arrival time, tail number and FBO details, and adjust if your flight plan changes. Your chauffeur meets you at the FBO, handles the luggage and drives you straight to your St. Simons accommodation. If your trip continues by road, we can take you on to Jacksonville or other regional destinations.
For how we coordinate private flights in general, see Private Aviation Transportation.
St. Simons Island Resort and Hotel Car Service
We provide prearranged transportation to hotels, inns, vacation rentals and private residences across St. Simons Island. These are the places we go most, and what the transportation for each usually involves.
-
King and Prince Beach & Golf Resort
Oceanfront resort arrivals from JAX, SAV and BQK. Guests often travel with golf clubs, wedding attire or a family’s worth of luggage, so we confirm bag counts before assigning the vehicle.
-
Sea Palms Resort
Airport arrivals for golf weekends, meetings and weddings. A Navigator suits smaller parties; the Sprinter keeps a larger team or wedding party together in one vehicle.
-
Epworth by the Sea
Retreats, conferences, church groups and family reunions. Guests on the same flight travel together, and staggered arrivals are scheduled in advance as separate prearranged pickups.
-
Pier Village and South End
Boutique inns and rentals near the village. Airport arrivals, plus evening transportation by reservation for dinners and events. Parking near the village is limited, so we confirm the exact pickup spot ahead of time.
-
East Beach vacation rentals
Family arrivals with luggage, strollers and beach gear. Child seats are available by request; tell us each child’s age and weight so the right seats are installed before pickup.
-
Private residences and rentals
Many St. Simons visitors stay in a rental home or with family rather than at a hotel. We confirm the full street address and any gate or access instructions before travel day.
Car Service for St. Simons Golf Trips
Golf trips are among the most common St. Simons reservations we take, and they are mostly a cargo question. A full golf bag in a travel case takes up about the space of two checked suitcases, so we don’t send the Cadillac XT6 on golf trips. Navigator capacity depends on passenger count and golf-bag size: smaller golf groups usually fit in the Lincoln Navigator L Reserve, while larger golf parties or several hard travel cases may require the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. Tell us your bag count and we’ll confirm the fit before you book.
We schedule around tee times as well as flights, from airport-to-resort transfers to pickups at the course, and we can cover a multi-day golf itinerary by request.
Planning a golf trip?
Send your passenger count, golf bag count, airport and itinerary, and we’ll recommend the right vehicle.
Text your golf trip detailsSt. Simons Island Wedding and Group Transportation
St. Simons hosts weddings at its resorts, chapels and event venues throughout the year, and guests often fly in from several cities. We handle guest airport arrivals from JAX, SAV and BQK, Sprinter transportation between hotels and venues, rehearsal dinners, ceremony and reception movements, and private transportation for the couple. Groups larger than 14 can travel in coordinated vehicles on one itinerary.
Planning details and timelines are on our wedding transportation page.
Business, Executive and Retreat Transportation
Companies bring leadership teams, clients and retreat groups to St. Simons for meetings at the island’s resorts and conference centers. We provide executive airport arrivals, transportation for small leadership teams and visiting clients, and scheduled movements between hotels, meeting venues and dinners. An assistant or travel manager can coordinate every reservation for the group, with receipts for expense reporting.
For company accounts and recurring travel, see our executive transportation services.
Choosing the Right Vehicle for St. Simons
Passenger count is only half the answer. On the St. Simons route, luggage, golf bags and strollers decide the rest.
-
Cadillac XT6
- Up to 3 passengers
- 4 checked + 3 carry-on
Best for: one to three travelers, couples, executive arrivals and standard airport luggage. Not assigned for golf trips.
-
Lincoln Navigator L Reserve
- Up to 6 passengers
- 5 checked + 3 carry-on
Best for: families, smaller golf groups, larger luggage loads and small groups.
-
Mercedes-Benz Sprinter
- Up to 14 passengers
- About 10 checked + 12 carry-on
Best for: groups, golf parties, wedding guests, corporate teams and multiple large bags.
Capacities assume a full passenger load and standard bag sizes. Golf travel cases, strollers and oversized items take extra space, so we confirm the vehicle against your actual passenger and bag count before you book. Full specifications and photos are on our luxury vehicle fleet page.

What We Plan for on a St. Simons Island Transfer
Driving the St. Simons route regularly teaches things a booking form doesn’t ask about. These are the details we check and plan around on every trip to the island.
Golf cases change the vehicle
Two golfers with hard travel cases need far more cargo space than two business travelers with roll-aboards. We ask how many golf bags you’re bringing before we assign a vehicle, not after we arrive at the curb.
Early JAX flights are planned backward
For an early departure from the island, we set the pickup from your airline’s recommended arrival time, the drive back over the causeway and I-95 conditions at that hour, rather than using a generic airport interval.
Late arrivals go smoother when the car is already booked
When a flight into JAX runs late, flight monitoring lets us move the pickup before you reach baggage claim. A reserved car is waiting; finding a 70-mile ride at midnight on short notice is much harder.
“St. Simons” is not an address
Vacation rental guests often know the island but not the street. We confirm the exact property address, plus any gate code or check-in instructions, before your travel day.
Strollers and car seats need their own space
Families should tell us about strollers, pack-and-plays and child seats when reserving. We install the right seats before pickup and assign a vehicle with room for the gear as well as the people.
Why Travelers Book Unique Corporate Limos for St. Simons
We’re a family-owned, owner-operated Jacksonville company, and the person who quotes your St. Simons trip is often the person who drives it. Clients who review us tend to mention the same things: texts before pickup, flights that changed and a pickup that changed with them, and help with bags and family members. You can read them on our client reviews page.
