Driving times and distances are planning estimates from central Jacksonville, not guaranteed trip durations. Traffic, weather, stops and your exact pickup address change the total, and your quote reflects your real itinerary.
Pickups also start in St. Augustine, Ponte Vedra Beach, Amelia Island, Orange Park, Fleming Island, Palm Coast and across Northeast Florida. Any destination not listed here receives its own quote.

Share your itinerary
Send the pickup address, destination, date, passenger count, luggage and any stops you need along the way.
Get a written quote
We recommend the right vehicle and send a written quotation that lists the price, what it includes and the trip conditions.
Confirm your reservation
Once you confirm, you receive your pickup time, location and chauffeur contact details in writing.
Meet your chauffeur
Your chauffeur arrives at the confirmed location, loads your luggage and drives you directly to your destination.
Complete the itinerary
Any return trip, extra stop or multi-day service runs exactly as reserved, with the same team coordinating it.
Unique Corporate Limos is owner-operated. The person who quotes your trip is responsible for it from confirmation to drop-off, and you can reach that person directly by phone or text before and during your journey.
One-Way, Round-Trip and Overnight Chauffeur Transportation
Four ways to book a long-distance trip. Each one is planned and priced differently, so choosing the right option keeps your quote accurate.
One-way transfers
A direct trip from Jacksonville to another city, airport, hotel, cruise terminal or private address. Ideal when you don't need return transportation.
Often booked forTPA flights, cruise departures, resort arrivals
Scheduled round trips
Two confirmed transfers: one out, and a return pickup scheduled for a later day. Suited to business or leisure trips that last several days.
Often booked forConferences, resort stays, cruises
Wait-and-return
Your chauffeur stays available during a meeting, hearing, event or appointment, then drives you back to Northeast Florida the same day.
Often booked forTampa and Tallahassee day trips
Overnight and multi-day
An itinerary covering more than one day, with the chauffeur's schedule, lodging, vehicle availability and pricing arranged in advance.
Often booked forExecutive trips, golf trips, multi-city travel
Waiting during a meeting is different from an overnight reservation. On a wait-and-return trip the chauffeur stays with the vehicle for a few hours and you return the same day, so the quote covers driving time plus standby time. An overnight reservation keeps a chauffeur and vehicle away from Jacksonville for a night or more, which adds lodging and a planned rest period before the next drive.
Multi-stop trips fit into any option. Collect a colleague in St. Augustine, stop at a Tampa office before a TPA departure, or drop one passenger in Savannah on the way to Charleston. Tell us every stop when you request a quote so the timing and price already account for it.

Jacksonville to Tampa and St. Petersburg Car Service
Tampa is about 200 miles and three to three and a half hours away, which makes it the most practical same-day business trip from Jacksonville. A typical wait-and-return reservation leaves early, delivers you to the Westshore business district or downtown Tampa, keeps your chauffeur on standby through the day and brings you home that evening. We also run direct transfers to Tampa International Airport (TPA), including JAX-to-TPA connections when the flight you need departs from Tampa. St. Petersburg adds roughly 20 to 30 minutes.

- Westshore
- Downtown Tampa

Jacksonville to Tallahassee Chauffeur Service
The state capital is about 165 miles west on I-10, two and a half to three hours each way. Clients include attorneys, lobbyists, association executives and agency staff with business at the Capitol, as well as families visiting Florida State and FAMU. Hearings and meetings rarely end on time, so wait-and-return reservations keep your chauffeur on standby and the return time flexible. During the legislative session, recurring weekly trips can be set up as standing reservations. Schedule changes can be sent to your chauffeur by text.

- State agencies
- Florida State University

Jacksonville to Hilton Head Island and Charleston
Hilton Head Island is about 170 miles and roughly three hours north. Charleston is about 240 miles, three and a half to four and a half hours. Many Hilton Head trips start at JAX, when travelers fly into Jacksonville and continue by car to Sea Pines, Palmetto Dunes or another island resort. Golf groups are the main planning factor: a travel case takes the room of about two suitcases, so foursomes ride in the Navigator and larger groups in the Sprinter. Charleston trips include business at the port, historic-district stays and a Savannah stop on request.
- Sea Pines
- Palmetto Dunes
- Harbour Town
- Charleston

Jacksonville to Daytona Beach Car Service
Daytona Beach is about 90 to 105 miles south, roughly an hour and a half to two hours. Most bookings are point-to-point transfers to oceanfront hotels and the Ocean Center, or groups who want to travel in one Sprinter rather than several cars. For race weekends and other event days, our sporting event transportation page covers drop-off planning and return pickups.
- Ocean Center
- Oceanfront hotels

Longer trips to Atlanta and South Florida
These are our farthest routes. We arrange them on request, after confirming timing, the chauffeur's schedule and the vehicle's return, so please contact us before making other plans that depend on the trip.
5–6 hrs · ~345 mi
Jacksonville to Atlanta Private Car Service
Atlanta is about 345 miles and five to six hours away. Trips are arranged case by case, usually one-way to Hartsfield-Jackson (ATL) when a flight leaves from there, or for meetings in Buckhead and Midtown. Because of the distance, we confirm timing, rest stops and the chauffeur's return before booking. Longer days may need an overnight reservation.
- ATL Hartsfield-Jackson
- Buckhead
- Midtown
4.5–6 hrs · ~320–345 mi
Jacksonville to Miami and Fort Lauderdale Private Transportation
Fort Lauderdale is about 320 miles and Miami about 345, roughly four and a half to six hours down I-95.

How Much Does Long-Distance Car Service from Jacksonville Cost?
Every long-distance trip is quoted individually. The price depends on the full movement of the vehicle and chauffeur, not only the miles you ride.
- Distance and total drive time
- A one-way trip to Tampa still requires the vehicle to drive back to Jacksonville, so one-way quotes reflect the whole trip.
- Vehicle and group size
- The XT6, Navigator and Sprinter are priced differently, and passenger and luggage count decide which one fits.
- One-way or round trip
- A scheduled return on a later day is a second confirmed transfer with its own pickup time.
- Waiting time and extra stops
- Standby during meetings and each additional pickup or drop-off add time to the reservation.
- Overnight trips
- Multi-day itineraries include the chauffeur's lodging and the time the vehicle is away from Jacksonville.
- Tolls, parking and gratuity
- Route tolls, airport or cruise-terminal parking and gratuity apply to many long trips.
Choose the Right Vehicle for Your Long-Distance Trip
On a two- to four-hour drive, legroom and luggage space matter more than on a short transfer. These are the vehicles we operate, and the photos show them.
Executive SUV
Cadillac XT6
- Passengers
- Up to 3
- Luggage
- 4 checked + 3 carry-on
A quiet cabin for one to three travelers with standard luggage. A good fit for an executive heading to Tampa or a couple flying out of TPA. We confirm your bag count before assigning it.
Full-size luxury SUV
Lincoln Navigator L Reserve
- Passengers
- Up to 6
- Luggage
- 5 checked + 3 carry-on
Our usual choice for long highway drives. Extended legroom and the cargo space for cruise luggage, families and golf bags.
Sprinter limo van
Mercedes-Benz Sprinter
- Passengers
- Up to 14
- Luggage
- About 10 checked + 12 carry-on
One vehicle and one chauffeur for groups of 7 to 14, with standing headroom and a separate rear cargo area. Ideal for golf groups and executive teams.
Luggage capacity assumes a full passenger load. Golf bags take about the space of two checked bags. Compare our full fleet Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van service
Private Transportation for Business, Airport and Leisure Travel
Four situations where a chauffeured trip between cities makes more sense than driving yourself, renting a car or booking a short flight.
Business trips
An executive who has to be in Tampa, Tallahassee or Charleston for a meeting, hearing or site visit arrives rested, with hours to take calls and prepare instead of driving. Companies arranging travel for several people, or ongoing accounts, are served through our corporate transportation services.
Airport connections and disrupted flights
Some itineraries leave from Tampa (TPA), Orlando (MCO) or Savannah (SAV) rather than JAX, and farther airports such as ATL and MIA are available by request. We drive you there directly, and when a flight is canceled or diverted you can request a car to another airport. Last-minute trips depend on vehicle availability and safe driving conditions. For pickups at Jacksonville International itself, see our JAX airport car service.
Cruise departures
Ships sailing from Tampa and Port Canaveral, and by request from PortMiami and Port Everglades, need an arrival time that fits the boarding window and a vehicle with room for a week of suitcases. Your chauffeur loads luggage at your door, delivers you to the terminal and is booked in advance for the return on disembarkation morning.
Golf and private resort travel
Golf travel cases, resort luggage and a group that wants to arrive together decide the vehicle. We match foursomes with the Navigator and larger groups with the Sprinter, then drive directly to the resort entrance at Hilton Head, Sea Pines or Palmetto Dunes.

How We Plan a Long-Distance Reservation
Before any trip over a couple of hours, we confirm these details with you:
- Pickup address and accessGate codes, building entrances, hotel lobbies or the JAX arrival level.
- Timing that works backward from your arrivalDeparture time set from your flight, boarding window or meeting, with a traffic buffer.
- Passengers, luggage and the right vehicleCounts confirmed so everything fits without crowding the cabin.
- Route and scheduled breaksComfort and meal stops planned in advance on longer drives.
- Chauffeur availability and return arrangementsThe chauffeur's schedule and your return pickup confirmed before you travel.
On very long days and overnight trips, chauffeur scheduling and proper rest are built into the plan. We don't schedule a chauffeur to drive through the night regardless of conditions. When a trip calls for it, we plan an overnight stay instead.

Frequently Asked Questions About Long-Distance Car Service
Pricing, booking options and planning, answered directly.
How much does long-distance car service from Jacksonville cost?
Each trip is quoted individually. The price depends on distance, the vehicle, one-way or round trip, waiting time, stops and any overnight stay. You receive a written quote before booking that lists what is included. Call or text (904) 800-5657 or use the quote form.
Do you offer one-way transportation to other Florida cities?
Yes. One-way transfers run from Jacksonville and Northeast Florida to Tampa, St. Petersburg, Tallahassee, Daytona Beach, Orlando and other Florida cities, with Miami and Fort Lauderdale by request. One-way quotes include the vehicle's return drive, because the car and chauffeur still travel back to Jacksonville.
Which destinations do your chauffeurs serve?
Our most common long-distance destinations are Tampa, St. Petersburg, Tallahassee, Hilton Head Island, Charleston and Daytona Beach. We also drive to Orlando, Port Canaveral, Savannah and Gainesville. Longer trips to Atlanta, Miami and Fort Lauderdale are available by request.
Are round-trip and overnight chauffeur reservations available?
Yes. A round trip can be two scheduled transfers on different days, or a same-day wait-and-return. Overnight and multi-day reservations keep the same chauffeur and vehicle with you, with lodging, rest periods and your schedule arranged in advance.
Will my chauffeur wait during business meetings or appointments?
Yes, on a wait-and-return reservation. Your chauffeur stays on standby near your meeting, hearing or appointment and drives you back when you're done. Tell us the expected length when booking. If the day runs long, text your chauffeur and we'll confirm the change.
Are tolls, parking and overnight expenses included in the quote?
Your written quote states which charges are included, such as tolls, airport or cruise-terminal parking, gratuity and chauffeur lodging, and lists anything billed separately. Nothing is added afterward for the itinerary you confirmed. Changes are quoted when you request them.
What happens if my scheduled flight changes or gets canceled?
Text or call us as soon as you know. For airport pickups we follow your flight and adjust to delays. If a canceled flight means driving to another airport or city, we arrange it when a vehicle and chauffeur are available and conditions are safe.
Which vehicle should I reserve for luggage or a group?
For up to 3 travelers with standard luggage, the Cadillac XT6. For up to 6 travelers, golf bags or cruise luggage, the Lincoln Navigator L Reserve. For 7 to 14 travelers, the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. Share your bag count and we'll confirm the fit.
How far in advance should I reserve a long-distance transfer?
Book as soon as your dates are set. A few days ahead is usually enough for standard trips, and overnight itineraries, holidays, cruise days and major event weekends should be reserved further out. Short-notice trips are accepted when a vehicle is available.
