Savannah Airport to Jekyll Island Transfer

Savannah Airport to Jekyll Island transfer: the easiest way to get there

Getting from Savannah Airport to Jekyll Island should be the easy part of the journey. With a private transfer it is: you tell us your flight number and your hotel, we confirm the price of the Savannah Airport to Jekyll Island transfer on WhatsApp, and on the day a driver meets you at the arrivals hall and takes you straight to the door. No taxi rank, no ticket machines, no changing between buses with suitcases.

This page covers everything travellers ask about the Savannah Airport to Jekyll Island route: how far it is and how long it takes, whether an airport taxi, public transport or a private transfer is the better choice, what Jekyll Island is like, what to see there and where to stay, where you meet your driver at Savannah Airport, which vehicles we use and how the booking works.

Arriving at Savannah Airport (SAV)

Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport (SAV) lies near Pooler about 16 km north-west of Savannah's Historic District, 43 km from Tybee Island and 56 km from Hilton Head Island.

Whichever hall you come out of, the routine for a Savannah Airport to Jekyll Island transfer is the same: collect your bags, clear passport control, switch on your phone, and follow the meeting instruction from your WhatsApp confirmation. Your driver already knows your flight has landed - every pickup at Savannah Airport is tracked against the live arrival time - so there is no need to call, though a message is always welcome.

Searches for "SAV to Jekyll Island" or "SAV airport transfer" land here for a reason: SAV is the airport code for Savannah Airport, and this is the private-car service that connects it with Jekyll Island.

Taxi or private transfer from Savannah Airport to Jekyll Island?

The airport taxi fare from Savannah Airport to Jekyll Island is unpredictable: meters, night tariffs, tolls and traffic all move it, and you only learn the total at the door. A pre-booked Savannah Airport to Jekyll Island transfer is the opposite - one fixed cost for the vehicle, however long the drive takes, with the price agreed before your trip.

For one traveller with a small bag, a taxi or public transport can be a fair choice. For two or more people, a family with children, or anyone with real luggage, a private transfer is normally the cheapest way to get from Savannah Airport to Jekyll Island per person - and by far the easiest. Public transport to Jekyll Island involves changes, tickets and stairs; a private car goes to the hotel door.

There is also the question of trust. Our drivers know the hotels of Jekyll Island, work on a fixed price, and never take a detour or add a "special fare" at the end. Your booking is confirmed by a real person on a WhatsApp desk that works in Arabic and English, and that same desk is reachable throughout your trip.

Public transport from Savannah Airport to Jekyll Island: is there a bus, train or metro?

Public transport from Savannah Airport runs mainly into Savannah itself: savannah's airport has no rail link and its public airport bus has been suspended; taxis and ride-hailing run to the Historic District, and hotels near the airport often have their own shuttles. A private car is simpler for a family with luggage and the only practical choice for Tybee Island, Hilton Head, Bluffton, Beaufort and the Golden Isles, which public transport does not reach. Reaching Jekyll Island from there means a further connection with your luggage, which is where a door-to-door car saves the most time and effort.

If you are weighing the Savannah Airport to Jekyll Island options, think about the last kilometre. Trains and buses stop at stations; hotels are somewhere else. With a private transfer the driver takes the route that ends at your door, helps with the bags, and the price agreed on WhatsApp does not change if the trains are on strike or the road is slow.

About Jekyll Island

Jekyll Island is the southernmost of Georgia's Golden Isles, about 135 km south of the airport, roughly 1 hour 30 minutes' drive. Jekyll Island is the southernmost of Georgia's Golden Isles, a state-owned barrier island with ten miles of beach, maritime forest and a protected, low-rise character. The Jekyll Island Club Historic District preserves the winter retreat where wealthy American families once holidayed, and Driftwood Beach is famous for its sculptural fallen trees at the northern end. The Georgia Sea Turtle Center cares for injured turtles, and bike paths wind past marshes, dunes and the ruins of the Horton House.

Your driver can point some of them out on the way in, and the WhatsApp desk can arrange a car for a day out if you want to see more.

Savannah itself is within reach for a day: Bonaventure Cemetery, Wormsloe Historic Site and Fort Pulaski National Monument - the same WhatsApp desk arranges the car there and back.

Meeting your driver at Savannah Airport

Your confirmation message on WhatsApp includes the meeting arrangement for Savannah Airport - it varies by airport, between an indoor meeting point, a specific exit and a driver with a sign at the arrivals door - along with your driver's name and number. With flight tracking, your driver is there the minute you land, and the waiting time is included in the fixed price.

Up to 60 minutes of waiting is included (90 minutes at some airports), and if you are delayed at baggage or passport control a quick WhatsApp message keeps your driver informed. On the way back, the driver collects you from the hotel at an agreed time with enough margin for your flight from Savannah Airport.

Our vehicles for the Jekyll Island transfer

For this route we offer Sedan (1–3 passengers), Minivan (1–7 passengers) and Sprinter (8–13 passengers). The vans are Mercedes, Volkswagen, Ford Transit and Peugeot Traveller models, all recent, air-conditioned and cleaned between journeys, with proper luggage space rather than a crowded boot. Choose the vehicle by how many of you are travelling and how much luggage you bring; the desk will tell you if a larger vehicle would be more comfortable.

Child seats and booster seats are available on request - say the ages of the children when you book and we bring the right ones. Extra-large luggage, sports equipment and wheelchairs are all fine; just mention them so the right vehicle is sent.

As a guide, the sedan suits one to three people with normal suitcases, the minivan or GMC a family or group of up to seven with their luggage, and the Sprinter larger parties of up to thirteen; there is cold water in the car, phone chargers in most models, and no smoking.

Who books the Jekyll Island transfer

Who uses a private transfer from Savannah Airport to Jekyll Island? Couples who would rather not start a holiday in a taxi queue; families who need child seats and space for a pushchair; groups of six to thirteen who want to arrive together in one vehicle; business travellers with a meeting the same day; and travellers landing at night, when public transport is thin and a fixed price is worth more than ever. Every one of them books the same way - a WhatsApp message - and gets the same written confirmation.

If your trip continues beyond Jekyll Island - a day trip, a second city, a port or a return to Savannah Airport - the same desk arranges it in the same WhatsApp conversation, with the same fixed-price approach.

How to book your Jekyll Island transfer

Booking is simple: fill in the form on this page or message us on WhatsApp with your flight number, the date, the number of passengers and your hotel in Jekyll Island. A member of our team replies within minutes to confirm the price and the meeting point. Payment is arranged on WhatsApp as well, in whichever way suits you, and your confirmation is written down so nothing is left to memory.

Changes and cancellations are handled through the same WhatsApp conversation. Because the terms depend on conditions such as how close to the pickup time the request is made, our team will explain exactly what applies to your booking when you ask - always before any payment, never as a surprise afterwards.

Good to know before you land at Savannah Airport

Savannah has one compact terminal near Pooler, so give us your airline and flight number; the Historic District's squares are ringed by narrow one-way streets, so tell us your hotel name and we will plan the closest drop-off.

Keep your phone charged and roaming or Wi-Fi on for the WhatsApp thread; the driver's number is in your confirmation and a message on landing at Savannah Airport is the quickest way to say you are through.

Let us know the driver language you would prefer; it depends on the country, the city and the hour, so we cannot promise it, but we do our best to match it and the WhatsApp desk itself always works in Arabic and English.

Jekyll Island to Savannah Airport: the return transfer

Heading back to Savannah Airport at the end of the stay is just as easy - tell us the flight time and the hotel, and a driver is at the door with time to spare. Many travellers also use the desk for a day trip or an onward transfer from Jekyll Island; everything is arranged in the same WhatsApp chat.

On departure day the desk suggests a pickup time from Jekyll Island based on your flight and the traffic expected at that hour, and confirms it in writing; if you would like to leave earlier for last-minute shopping or a meal near Savannah Airport, that is arranged in the same message.

Why travellers choose Haqqi Tours for Jekyll Island transfers

Haqqi Tours is a travel company, not a taxi app: the people who confirm your Savannah Airport to Jekyll Island transfer are the same people you can message at midnight when the flight is late. The price is fixed and written down, the driver is a licensed professional who does this road regularly, the vehicle is what we said it would be, and if anything on the day is not as promised, one message to the desk puts it right.

Pickup options and waiting time

When you book on WhatsApp, you choose one of two pickup options for your arrival:

• Flight tracking: your driver is at arrivals the minute your flight lands and waits for up to 60 minutes. If your flight lands at 2:00 pm, the driver is there at 2:00 pm.
• Fixed time (no tracking): your driver arrives at a time you choose and waits for up to 60 minutes from that time. Send us your flight number and we check its real landing times over the past 10 days to recommend the best pickup time.

At most airports the included waiting time is 60 minutes; at some it is 90 minutes. We confirm the exact waiting time for your airport when you book with us on WhatsApp. After that, the driver cannot wait longer: the fixed price is based on one hour of airport parking and the driver's time, and with more than 30 transfers a day, every booking is scheduled back to back.

With flight tracking, normal delays are covered. If your flight is delayed by more than 5 hours, we cannot guarantee a new pickup at the last minute, because the new arrival time is uncertain and other transfers are already scheduled. Message us as soon as the delay is announced: we always do our best to rearrange, but it depends on the number of bookings that day. With a fixed-time pickup, the time slot is reserved for you and cannot be changed on the day, even if your flight is delayed or something unexpected happens.

Two hours before your flight lands, we send you your driver's name and phone number on WhatsApp. If you are still in the air, the message will be waiting for you as soon as you switch on your phone. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
