Charlottesville–Albemarle Airport, ten minutes out

CHO is the easy one. It is close, it is small, and you can be curbside minutes after leaving the house — which is exactly why the ride matters less for distance and more for timing.

Getting to CHO

From most of Charlottesville the airport is a ten to fifteen minute run up Route 29 and Airport Road. From Crozet or Waynesboro, allow half an hour. The terminal is small enough that arriving forty-five minutes before a domestic departure is usually comfortable, though the first flights of the morning draw a queue at the single security lane.

Because the trip is short, this is the run rideshare is least interested in at five in the morning. A booked car does not weigh whether the fare is worth getting up for.

Coming back into CHO

Arrivals at CHO are quick — a short walk from the gate to the door, and bags come off fast. We meet you at the terminal entrance rather than circling, and if your inbound connection through Charlotte or Philadelphia runs late, the flight number tells us before you do.

Plenty of CHO arrivals are onward trips rather than trips home: the Downtown Mall hotels, the Grounds, the hospital, or straight out to a winery. We will take you wherever the day is going.

Common questions

Is a ten-minute trip worth booking a car for?
At four in the morning, yes. Short fares are the ones apps most often leave unaccepted, and a confirmed booking removes the gamble entirely.
Can you take me from CHO to a winery or hotel?
Yes. Plenty of arrivals go straight to the Downtown Mall, the Grounds, or out to the Route 151 corridor rather than home.
What if my flight into CHO is delayed?
Give us the flight number when booking. We track it and adjust the pickup without you needing to call from the air.
