Flying into Piedmont Triad International Airport (GSO)

Piedmont Triad International Airport (GSO) is the most convenient hub for travelers heading directly to High Point. Located right on the border of Greensboro and High Point, it is less than a 20-minute drive to downtown High Point via I-74 or NC-68. Because it is a smaller, more user-friendly airport compared to major hubs like Charlotte or Atlanta, GSO offers a relaxed arrival experience, but you still need a solid plan for ground transportation once you land.

When you book with Charter Bus Rental Company High Point, your driver will be waiting for you. For arrivals at GSO, charter buses typically stage in the commercial vehicle holding lot until your flight lands. Once your group has gathered your luggage at the lower-level baggage claim (located centrally in the main terminal), your driver will pull up to the designated commercial loading zone along the curbside. This ensures you aren’t left standing in the North Carolina heat or rain. Whether you are heading straight to the Red Lion Hotel High Point (135 S Main St, High Point, NC 27260) or going directly to a showroom for Market, we ensure a smooth transition from air to road.

Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) Shuttle Services

While GSO is closer, many groups choose to fly into Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) due to the higher volume of direct flights and international connections. Located approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes south of High Point via I-85 N, CLT is one of the busiest airports in the world. Navigating the arrival lanes here with a large group can be chaotic without a driver.

Charter Bus Rental Company High Point specializes in long-distance airport transfers from Charlotte to the Triad area. We monitor traffic patterns on I-85 to ensure we account for potential delays near the Concord Mills exit or the I-485 interchange. At CLT, the pickup procedure for charter buses is strictly regulated. Your group will proceed to the lower level (Arrivals/Baggage Claim) and exit to the curbside. The drivers will utilize the designated Zone B or Zone D commercial lanes (depending on current airport directives) for loading. With onboard amenities like reclining seats, WiFi, and power outlets, your group can relax, charge their devices, or catch up on sleep during the ride up to High Point. Instead of renting five different cars and paying for gas on each, one comfortable motorcoach handles it all. Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) 5501 Josh Birmingham Pkwy, Charlotte, NC 28208

Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU) Transfers

Another excellent option for reaching High Point is Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU), located roughly 1 hour and 15 minutes east via I-40 W. RDU is a popular choice for groups coming from the West Coast or Europe who may not find convenient connections into GSO. The drive from RDU to High Point is a straight shot down Interstate 40, passing through Burlington and Greensboro before arriving in the heart of High Point.

RDU has two terminals: Terminal 1 (Southwest) and Terminal 2 (most other airlines). Charter Bus Rental Company High Point drivers are familiar with the distinct commercial pickup zones at both terminals. At Terminal 2, for example, the charter bus loading area is located at the far end of the arrivals curb, past the taxi stand. We will provide your group leader with the driver's contact information so you can coordinate the exact moment you step out of the terminal. This eliminates the anxiety of trying to find your ride in a sea of traffic. Once aboard, your group can enjoy the scenic drive through the Piedmont region, perhaps stopping for a quick bite in Graham or Mebane if your itinerary allows. Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU) 2400 John Brantley Blvd, Morrisville, NC 27560

Handling Luggage and Equipment for High Point Market

High Point isn’t just any city; it is the furniture capital of the world. Twice a year, the High Point Market brings over 75,000 visitors to the area. If you are traveling as a corporate buying team, a design firm, or an exhibitor, you likely have more than just a carry-on bag. You might be transporting marketing materials, fabric samples, or extensive luggage for a week-long stay. Standard rideshares and rental cars simply cannot accommodate this volume of cargo.

Our full-size 56-passenger charter buses are designed with massive undercarriage luggage bays that can easily handle heavy equipment, large suitcases, and trade show materials. Inside the cabin, overhead bins provide quick access to personal items like laptops and briefcases. We can transport your team from the airport directly to the Transportation Terminal in downtown High Point or straight to the IHFC Building (210 E Commerce Ave, High Point, NC 27260). By consolidating your team and your gear into one vehicle, you reduce the risk of lost items and ensure everyone arrives at the showroom together, ready to do business.

Corporate and VIP Airport Transportation

First impressions matter. If you are hosting VIP clients, investors, or executives flying in to visit the corporate headquarters of companies like Old Dominion Freight Line or checking in on manufacturing operations, a private shuttle sets the right tone. Charter Bus Rental Company High Point offers a range of executive transportation options, including sleek minibuses and sprinter vans for smaller groups.

We can arrange for a meet-and-greet experience where the bus is staged and climate-controlled before your guests even step outside the terminal. Onboard, your guests can utilize tray tables and WiFi to make last-minute adjustments to presentations or hold an impromptu briefing on the way to Congdon Yards (400 W English Rd, High Point, NC 27262). The drivers prioritize discretion and punctuality. We can also coordinate complex itineraries that involve picking up different executives from different flights throughout the day, acting as a rolling concierge service for your corporate event.

Student Travel and University Shuttles

High Point University (HPU) is a major pillar of the community, drawing students and families from all over the globe. Charter Bus Rental Company High Point works closely with student organizations, athletic teams, and parents to provide safe airport transfers. Whether it is a sorority organizing a spring break trip out of CLT, a sports team flying into RDU for an away game, or a shuttle service for parents’ weekend at GSO, we have you covered.

For large student groups, safety and budget are often the top priorities. Our charter buses undergo inspections and are driven by drivers, providing peace of mind to parents and university administrators. We can pick up students directly from the Slane Student Center or residential halls and transport them to the airport with plenty of time to clear security. For incoming freshmen groups or campus tour events, we can provide a comfortable introduction to the city, pointing out local landmarks like the World's Largest Chest of Drawers (508 N Hamilton St, High Point, NC 27262) on the way from the airport to campus.

Streamlining Group Logistics: Flight Tracking and Coordination

One of the biggest fears when renting a bus for airport travel is the "what if" factor. What if the flight is delayed? What if we land early? At Charter Bus Rental Company High Point, we take the guesswork out of the equation. When you book your reservation, we request your flight numbers. Our dispatch team actively monitors flight statuses in real-time.

If your flight into GSO is delayed by two hours, we adjust the driver's schedule accordingly so you aren't paying for wait time you don't use, and the bus is there when you actually land. If you land early, your driver is alerted to move to the staging area sooner. We also provide you with the driver's direct contact information prior to the trip. This open line of communication ensures that once your group has their bags and is heading for the door, the bus is pulling up to the curb simultaneously. It is this level of logistical coordination that makes us the preferred choice for group airport transfers in the Triad.

Frequently Asked Questions About High Point Airport Transportation

On a standard 56-passenger motorcoach, there is ample undercarriage storage for virtually any amount of luggage. As a general rule of thumb, each passenger can bring one large suitcase and one carry-on bag. If you are traveling for High Point Market and have trade show displays, large equipment, or an unusual amount of cargo, please let our reservation specialist know when you book. We can ensure we assign a bus with maximum bay space or even recommend an additional vehicle if necessary to accommodate your gear safely.

We understand that air travel can be unpredictable. We ask for your flight information at the time of booking so our dispatch team can track your arrival in real-time. If your flight is delayed, we will adjust the driver's schedule to ensure they are at the airport when you land. We include a grace period in our airport transfer packages, but for significant delays, we will work with you to update the reservation. You will never be left stranded at the airport.

Yes, absolutely. If your corporate team or private group is flying via private charter into the Koury Aviation or Landmark Aviation terminals at Piedmont Triad International Airport (or private FBOs at CLT/RDU), we can arrange tarmacside or FBO curbside pickup. Security protocols are different for private terminals, so we will need to coordinate with the FBO staff ahead of time. Just provide us with the tail number and FBO location, and we will handle the rest for a VIP experience.

We recommend booking your airport transportation as soon as your flight details are confirmed. For general travel, booking 1 to 3 months in advance is usually sufficient to secure your preferred vehicle type. However, if you are traveling during major local events—specifically the High Point Market in April or October, or during university graduation weekends—demand for buses is extremely high. For these peak times, we strongly suggest booking 6 to 9 months in advance to guarantee availability.
