Transportation:
Charleston International Airport (CHS) is the closest airport and where you will want to book your flight in and out of. Kiawah Island is about 45 minutes from the airport. Rideshare (Uber and Lyft) services are sometimes available at the airport but are often unreliable with low volume of availability. Ubers are able to get on the island without additional charge, but Lyft will charge a fee. Uber and Lyft services are not available once on Kiawah Island.
Car rentals are readily available at the Charleston airport. We highly recommend this option for maximum flexibility or if you are not staying at a Kiawah Island Resort accommodation with access to the on-island shuttle. Car services to and from the airport can easily be arranged in advance of your stay. If possible, sharing transportation with friends/family is another great option. There are plenty of rental options available at the airport including Alamo, Avis, Budget, Dollar, Enterprise, Hertz, National, and Thrifty.
