Transportation services to/from JAX and St. Augustine

Can you kindly provide recommendations for transportation services to/from JAX and St. Augustine from which you have received great service? We are not looking to rent a car for our short stay. Thank you.

Traveling between Jacksonville International Airport (JAX) and St. Augustine without a rental car is very doable, and there are a few transportation options depending on your preference for convenience, cost, and comfort.

Shuttle and private car services are typically the easiest choice for door-to-door service:

  • St. Augustine Shuttle: Offers direct transportation between JAX and St. Augustine with reliable scheduling. Private and shared options are available.
  • Sunshine Shuttle Service: Provides private transfers and small group shuttles. Many travelers report timely pickups and professional drivers.
  • Go Shuttle St. Augustine: Private car services with comfortable sedans, SUVs, or vans, ideal for small groups or families.

For a more budget-conscious option, consider shared ride or ride-hailing services:

  • Uber or Lyft: Both operate in Jacksonville and can take you directly to St. Augustine. Pricing is dynamic, so check fares in advance; rides can range around $100–$150 one way.
  • Local taxi services: Less common for long trips but possible if pre-arranged; fares may be higher than app-based ride-hailing.

Tips and considerations:

  • Book your shuttle or private car in advance, especially during peak tourist seasons, to ensure availability and secure a better rate.
  • Shared shuttle services can take longer due to multiple stops, so if time is critical, a private car is recommended.
  • Many shuttle services can also provide return trips from St. Augustine to JAX, which makes planning for departure very straightforward.

With these options, you can enjoy a stress-free transfer between JAX and St. Augustine without needing to rent a car, while having professional drivers and reliable schedules to make your trip smooth and comfortable.
