Airports

Charleston's CHS is the closest and most convenient airport to Charleston. Depending on your chosen place to stay, it will take about 20-30 minutes to commute from the airport to downtown. Uber, Lyft, and taxi cabs are readily available. Additional airport options include Savannah/Hilton Head (SAV) and Charlotte (CLT). These are 2-3 hours away from Charleston and would likely require you to rent a car and drive the difference.
