Kalamazoo Battle Creek (AZO) Airport Car Service

AZO (officially Kalamazoo Battle Creek International Airport, serving both Kalamazoo and Battle Creek from a midpoint location) sits about 4 miles south of downtown Kalamazoo, accessible via Interstate 94 and Portage Road. The airport is owned and operated by the Kalamazoo County Aeronautics Board. American, Delta, and United provide scheduled commercial service from a single terminal building. Our chauffeurs stage at the commercial vehicle lane outside the terminal curbside.

AZO to downtown Kalamazoo and the State Theatre runs about 10 minutes via Portage Road northbound, and AZO to the Western Michigan University main campus runs about 15 minutes via Stadium Drive. We handle daily transfers to downtown Kalamazoo hotels including the Radisson Plaza Hotel at Kalamazoo Center and the Kalamazoo House Bed and Breakfast.

Yes. Stryker Corporation world headquarters in Kalamazoo (the major medical devices manufacturer, one of the world's leading orthopedic implant and surgical technology companies) runs about 5 to 10 minutes from AZO, and Pfizer Kalamazoo (the historic Upjohn Company site, now Pfizer's largest US manufacturing facility producing the COVID 19 vaccine and other biologic products) runs about 10 minutes. We hold standing accounts with executive teams at both companies running daily AZO rotations.

Yes. Battle Creek (the Cereal Capital of the World, home of the WK Kellogg Co. and Kellanova world headquarters following the 2023 Kellogg Company split) runs about 25 to 30 minutes from AZO via Interstate 94 eastbound. We hold standing accounts with executive teams at both Kellogg companies plus the broader Battle Creek food industry corporate base.

Yes. Bronson Methodist Hospital in downtown Kalamazoo (the flagship hospital of Bronson Healthcare, the largest health system in Southwest Michigan) and Ascension Borgess Medical Center both sit about 10 to 15 minutes from AZO. We handle patient transfers, visiting physician transport, family member airport pickups for extended hospital stays, and corporate transfers for both health systems.

Yes. South Haven and the Lake Michigan beach destinations including the South Beach lighthouse and Van Buren State Park run about 35 to 45 minutes from AZO via Interstate 196 westbound. We handle resort transfers to lakefront properties, Blueberry Festival August weekend transport (the iconic South Haven summer festival), and the broader Saugatuck and Douglas resort corridor.

Yes. Waldo Stadium (home of the Western Michigan Broncos football team) and the WMU campus including Miller Auditorium and the Lawson Ice Arena (hosting Broncos hockey) all sit about 15 minutes from AZO via Stadium Drive. We handle parent weekend transfers, Broncos home football game weekend transport, Mid American Conference visiting team logistics, and graduation week pickups.

Yes. The Air Zoo (the Smithsonian affiliate aerospace and science museum in Portage, featuring restored World War II aircraft, the SR 71B Blackbird, and full motion flight simulators) runs about 5 to 10 minutes from AZO. We handle daily museum visitor transfers, school group transport, and corporate event pickups for the venue's after hours rentals.

Western Michigan University graduation weekends (April for spring and December for fall) generate heavy family transportation demand through AZO. We recommend three to four weeks of lead time for graduation weekend SUV and Sprinter bookings, since Kalamazoo hotel inventory fills three to four months ahead during WMU graduation.

Yes. Dispatch runs around the clock with a live human on the line, and we operate red eye arrivals, 4 am Stryker and Pfizer Kalamazoo early shift corporate transfers, and late night Bronson Hospital medical transfers. There is no surcharge for late night or early morning service on standard bookings.
