Charleston Airport to Kiawah Island
Getting to Kiawah Island starts at Charleston International Airport (CHS). CHS has a single terminal with two concourses (A and B), and ground transportation pickups are at arrivals level outside baggage claim. From there, Kiawah is approximately 50 minutes via I-526 and Bohicket Road.
Kiawah is a private gated community. Visitors must be pre-registered on the guest list before arrival, and commercial vehicles are subject to a gate access fee. LUXY coordinates your reservation details so your ride clears the gate without delay. Whether you are heading to the Sanctuary, a wedding venue, or one of the island's championship golf courses, your ride is fixed price and flight-tracked. Book on the LUXY Ride App or call Client Care on 1-833-438-5899.
