Transportation from CHS

If your Charleston flight gets in late or you’re just feeling knackered, book one of the hotels near Charleston International Airport (CHS) to utilize the hotels' free airport transfers to get a little R&R before your adventure begins. If you’d rather get straight downtown, you can get there in a taxi or a pre-booked shuttle, which you’ll find outside the baggage claim area. At the Rental Car Pavilion, which is located in the baggage claim area, you can book a rental car at any one of five agencies. Located curbside by the baggage claim is the CARTA, the Charleston Area Regional Transportation Authority, which provides bus services to downtown Charleston and many other locations within the city.

• Magnolia Plantation and Gardens not only claims the title of "Charleston's Most Visited Plantation," it was also voted one of "America's Most Beautiful Gardens" by Travel + Leisure Magazine—the only garden in South Carolina that made it onto this venerated list. It’s been open to the public since 1870, making it the oldest public garden in the country. And if you care not for all of these accolades and distinctions, just let the history and beauty impress you instead.
