At the Savannah Airport (SAV), taxis are located on the lower level outside of baggage claim and are available on-demand for service to any destination. Taxi fare from the airport to the Hilton Head Island costs approximately $118.

As of early 2026, a standard taxi or private car service from Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport (SAV) to the Hilton Head Island resort area typically costs between $85 and $115 USD, excluding tip. The journey is approximately 35 to 45 miles and takes about 45 to 60 minutes, depending on traffic at the bridge. While there is a flat-rate zone system for trips within Savannah, trips to Hilton Head (which is in South Carolina) are usually metered or quoted as a flat fee by the driver before departure. Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft often provide slightly lower rates, ranging from $65 to $90 for a "standard" ride, though "Surge Pricing" during peak tourist seasons or holiday weekends can easily push those prices above the cost of a traditional taxi. For many travelers, pre-booking a private shuttle (like Palmetto Breeze or KSL) for a flat $90 is the most reliable way to avoid price fluctuations while ensuring a direct transfer to their specific villa or hotel.
