A Guide to Pickups & Dropoffs at High Point, North Carolina Airports

Navigating Piedmont Triad International Airport (GSO) with Ease

Located just about 20 minutes from downtown High Point, Piedmont Triad International Airport (1000 Ted Johnson Pkwy, Greensboro, NC 27409) is the most convenient option for travelers heading directly to the city. While it is smaller than Charlotte or Raleigh, GSO is a vital hub for business travelers and those attending events at the High Point Theatre or the Convention & Visitors Bureau. Because it is a smaller airport, the logistics are generally smoother, but strict regulations for commercial vehicles still apply.

When you book a charter bus rental with Charter Bus Rental Company High Point for a GSO pickup, we monitor your flight status in real-time. If your flight is delayed coming in from Atlanta or Chicago, we adjust our dispatch times accordingly. For arrivals, your driver will be staged in the commercial vehicle holding lot until your group has landed and gathered their baggage. Once you are ready at the curb on the lower level (Baggage Claim area), your bus will pull around for immediate loading. There is no dragging luggage across vast parking lots; we meet you right outside the doors.

For departures, we drop your group off curbside at the upper level, right in front of your airline's check-in counter. This is particularly valuable for groups carrying heavy sample cases for the Furniture Market or sports equipment for tournaments at the High Point Athletic Complex. We ensure you arrive with plenty of time to clear security, stress-free.

Long-Distance Connections via Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT)

For international travelers or those seeking direct flights from major global hubs, Charlotte Douglas International Airport (5501 Josh Birmingham Pkwy, Charlotte, NC 28208) is often the airport of choice. Located approximately 80 to 90 minutes southwest of High Point via I-85 North, CLT is one of the busiest airports in the world. The sheer volume of traffic here makes private group transportation a necessity rather than a luxury.

Navigating the arrival lanes at CLT can be chaotic for the uninitiated. The airport has designated zones for charter buses and commercial vehicles, often located in Zone D of the lower-level curbside area (though this is subject to change based on airport construction). When you book with Charter Bus Rental Company High Point, your driver handles the stress of I-85 traffic and the complex terminal loops. After a long flight, your group can sink into reclining seats, connect to onboard WiFi, and relax in a climate-controlled cabin for the hour-and-a-half drive to High Point.

This route is popular for large corporate groups attending conferences or weddings. Instead of renting multiple cars and navigating the construction often found on the interstate corridor between Charlotte and High Point, your group stays together. We can make pit stops in Salisbury or Lexington for authentic North Carolina barbecue along the way, turning a simple airport transfer into a warm welcome to the South.

Alternative Routing through Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU)

Another excellent option for reaching High Point is Raleigh-Durham International Airport (2400 John Brantley Blvd, Morrisville, NC 27560). Situated roughly 75 to 90 minutes east of High Point via I-40 West, RDU serves as a major gateway for the Research Triangle Park area. Groups often choose RDU if they are combining a trip to High Point with visits to universities in the Triangle or if flight availability is better than GSO or CLT.

Similar to Charlotte, the drive from RDU to High Point is a straight shot down the interstate, but it can be tiring after a flight. Our charter buses turn this commute into productivity time. With power outlets at every seat and tray tables, your team can prep for their meetings in High Point while we handle the driving. We coordinate pickups at the designated commercial transport zones at both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. Whether you are heading to a showroom in the furniture district or a hotel in the Palladium Shopping Center area, we provide a direct link between the Triangle and the Triad.

Specialized Transport for the High Point Market Authority

Twice a year, the population of High Point swells as tens of thousands of visitors descend upon the city for the High Point Market—the largest home furnishings industry trade show in the world. During Market weeks in April and October, transportation becomes the single most critical logistical challenge. Flights into GSO, CLT, and RDU are packed, and rental cars are sold out months in advance.

Charter Bus Rental Company High Point has extensive experience managing the unique demands of Market transportation. We provide dedicated shuttles for buyers, exhibitors, and interior designers moving between the airports and the downtown showroom district. Our buses have ample undercarriage storage, which is essential for trade show attendees traveling with displays, marketing materials, and heavy luggage. We can set up continuous shuttle loops connecting the major airports to the Transportation Terminal in downtown High Point or directly to major hotels like the Grandover Resort or the JH Adams Inn.

Navigating downtown High Point during Market requires a driver who knows the road closures and shuttle routes intimately. The drivers understand the lay of the land, ensuring your team gets to their showroom appointments on time, every time.

Airport Shuttles for High Point University Students and Staff

High Point University (1 N University Pkwy, High Point, NC 27268) is a focal point of our community. For student organizations, athletic teams, and faculty departments, coordinating travel to and from the airport is a frequent necessity. We offer reliable airport shuttle services for HPU groups, whether it’s a study abroad group flying out of RDU, a sports team heading to an away tournament via CLT, or parents visiting for Family Weekend arriving at GSO.

For move-in weekends and holiday breaks, we can organize consolidated shuttles to transport large numbers of students to the airports, reducing the number of individual cars on campus and providing a cost-effective travel solution for students. We can pick up directly from student housing or the Slane Student Center and drop off right at the airline check-in.

Corporate Airport Transfers for Triad Business Professionals

First impressions matter. When you have VIP clients, executives, or investors flying into the Triad area to visit your headquarters, picking them up in a luxury charter bus or sprinter van sets the right tone. Charter Bus Rental Company High Point offers executive-level airport transportation that prioritizes punctuality and discretion.

For corporate groups, the ride from the airport is often an extension of the boardroom. Our vehicles can be equipped with WiFi and power outlets, allowing your team to conduct briefings or review presentations on the way to the office. Whether you are headed to the Premier Center in High Point, the sprawling Volvo Group campus nearby, or downtown corporate offices, we ensure a smooth transition from air to ground. We also handle the logistics of flight tracking, so if a client’s flight is delayed, your driver is automatically updated, ensuring no one is left waiting at the curb.

Onboard Amenities and Luggage Handling for Air Travelers

Why choose a charter bus over a caravan of rideshares? The answer lies in comfort and capacity. Air travel is exhausting. The last thing your group wants to do after landing is squeeze into a compact car or wait for multiple vehicles to arrive. With a charter bus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company High Point, your group stays together.

Luggage Capacity: One of the biggest advantages of our full-size 56-passenger motorcoaches is the massive undercarriage luggage bays. We can accommodate a full suitcase and carry-on for every passenger, plus golf clubs, trade show equipment, or musical instruments. The overhead bins inside the cabin provide easy access to personal items like laptops and purses.

Comfort Features: Our buses are designed for relaxation. With plush, reclining seats, plenty of legroom, and footrests, passengers can nap on the ride to High Point. Powerful air conditioning is non-negotiable in the North Carolina humidity, and our buses maintain a comfortable climate regardless of the weather outside. Onboard restrooms on our larger models mean you don't have to make unscheduled stops on the drive from Charlotte or Raleigh, keeping your itinerary on track.
