Got questions?
We Have Answers
Which Wilmington hotels near the convention center can I book to and from?
You can book to and from any hotel address in Wilmington, including the six meeting hotels near the convention center: Embassy Suites Wilmington Riverfront, Hotel Ballast, Aloft Wilmington at Coastline Center, Best Western Plus Coastline Inn, Hampton Inn Wilmington Downtown, and Courtyard by Marriott Downtown. Enter the address when you book and your fare appears before you confirm. Pickup details arrive with your booking confirmation.
Do I need a ride between my downtown hotel and the convention center?
Probably not, because the nearby meeting hotels are within walking distance of the convention center and connected by the Riverwalk. A booked ride makes more sense for the trip from ILM to your hotel or for a stop outside the convention district. Book each trip ahead and your fare appears before you confirm.
Can I book a ride from ILM to Wrightsville Beach or Carolina Beach?
Yes, enter ILM as your pickup and your beach address as your destination, and your fare appears before you confirm. Wrightsville Beach is 10 miles from the airport and Carolina Beach is 19 miles. Pickup details arrive with your booking confirmation, and you can book your trip back as a separate trip.
How is a pre-arranged car different from the taxi and ride-sharing options listed at ILM?
With a pre-arranged car, you book ahead and your trip is confirmed before you travel. Your fare appears before you confirm, and your assigned chauffeur's details arrive before your trip. Pickup details arrive with your booking confirmation, so you know the plan before you land.
Can my company book one account for a team traveling to a Wilmington meeting?
Yes, companies can set up a business account for team travel through LUXY Ride's corporate program. You can then book airport arrivals at ILM and rides to the nearby meeting hotels ahead of time, and each fare appears before you confirm. Pickup details arrive with each booking confirmation.
How much does car service in Wilmington cost?
The fare depends on your pickup, destination, date, time, and vehicle, and it appears before you confirm your booking. Your quoted fare includes gratuity and tolls. To see your price for a Wilmington trip, enter your details in the LUXY Ride App or at luxyride.com.
