Reliable RDU Airport Transportation
RDU sits almost exactly between Raleigh and Durham, making it the gateway to the Research Triangle — home to Duke University, UNC-Chapel Hill, NC State, and Research Triangle Park, one of the country’s largest hubs for tech, biotech, and pharmaceutical companies. Whether you’re flying in for a conference at RTP, dropping off a student at one of the Triangle’s universities, or just heading home after a trip, GO Airport Shuttle gets you there with fares starting at $48.
We offer everything from economy car service to private sedans, SUVs, vans, and group coach service for larger parties — with upfront pricing and a 24-hour cancellation policy on every ride. Our drivers know the I-40, US-70, and NC-540 corridors well, so your trip stays on schedule whether you’re headed into downtown Raleigh, across to Durham, or out to Cary and the western suburbs.
