What we offer

Cherry Capital (TVC) Airport Car Service

Cherry Capital (TVC) Car Service offers reliable airport transportation across northern Michigan, with luxury vehicles, punctual chauffeurs, and smooth travel experiences for all travelers.

Black Car Service to and from Cherry Capital (TVC) Airport


Landing in northern Michigan should end with a chauffeur already waiting, luggage taken care of, and a quiet ride toward the bay. That is what our Michigan airport car service provides at Cherry Capital Airport, the regional gateway that carries Traverse City and the wider Grand Traverse region. Whether you arrive on a Delta connection through Detroit, an American Airlines flight out of Chicago, or a seasonal Allegiant route from the Sun Belt, we watch the inbound tail number and stage a vehicle so the walk from baggage claim to your seat takes only a few minutes.


Ground Transportation Shaped Around the TVC Terminal


Cherry Capital Airport sits roughly four miles southeast of Front Street, close enough that a ride into downtown rarely runs past twenty minutes even during a busy July afternoon. The terminal is compact and single sided, which rewards a driver who already knows the staging pattern and the curb rhythm. Our chauffeurs follow live arrival boards, allow for the lake effect weather that rolls in off Lake Michigan between November and March, and reposition the moment a flight touches down ahead of schedule. Passenger volume records kept by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics show just how much summer traffic this airport absorbs, and our seasonal staffing is planned around those same peaks.


How We Meet You After You Land


Arrivals at TVC move quickly because the baggage hall is small. We ask how you prefer to be met and then hold to it, so nobody is left scanning the curb with a phone pressed to one ear.


  • Curbside pickup at the arrivals door for travelers carrying only a roller bag
  • Meet and greet inside the terminal with a name board, useful for guests flying in for a wedding or a corporate retreat
  • Help loading skis, golf clubs, fishing rods, and coolers that come north with almost every seasonal traveler
  • Child safety seats fitted before the vehicle leaves the yard when you note ages at booking
  • Flight tracking with complimentary wait time built in when a connection through Detroit or Minneapolis slips


Departures and Early Morning Airport Runs


Most departures out of Cherry Capital Airport push off before the sun clears the peninsula, and winter mornings add road treatment delays along US 31 and M 72. We work the pickup time backward from your posted departure, then add a cushion for screening and the coffee stop nobody admits to planning. Travelers who need a larger hub instead can book a long distance transfer to Detroit Metropolitan, Gerald R. Ford International in Grand Rapids, MBS in Saginaw, or Pellston Regional up near Petoskey, and Union Limousine covers all four as scheduled runs on the daily board.


Fleet Choices for Every Arrival at Cherry Capital Airport


Group size decides the vehicle, and our car service keeps every class equipped for northern Michigan conditions, including all season tires through the snow months and cargo space sized for the gear that comes with a Traverse City trip.


Sedans and SUVs for Individuals and Small Groups


  • Sedans carry up to 3 passengers and suit solo business travelers heading to a Munson Healthcare meeting, couples booked at a Front Street hotel, or a quiet transfer to Acme after a late arrival
  • SUVs carry up to 6 passengers with room for luggage, and they are the usual pick for families arriving with ski bags for Shanty Creek or a golf foursome bound for Grand Traverse Resort


Stretch Limousines and Sprinter Vans for Celebrations


  • Stretch limousines seat up to 20 passengers and fit wedding parties, milestone birthdays, and anniversary evenings that begin at the airport and end at a Leelanau Peninsula vineyard
  • Sprinter vans hold up to 14 passengers with high ceilings and generous luggage bays, which makes them the practical answer for corporate teams, film festival crews, and winery tours on Old Mission Peninsula


Party Buses and Charter Coaches for Large Arrivals


  • Party buses accommodate up to 30 passengers and work well for bachelorette weekends, National Cherry Festival outings, and reunion groups landing on the same afternoon
  • Mini charter buses seat up to 35 passengers and cover conference shuttles, church retreats headed toward Interlochen, and school music trips arriving together
  • Full size charter buses seat up to 56 passengers and handle convention movements, sports teams, and multi vehicle wedding logistics without splitting your group across four cars


Destinations We Reach From TVC Airport


A ride from Cherry Capital Airport rarely stops downtown. Guests scatter across four counties within an hour of landing, and our route knowledge covers the two lane roads that map applications still misread during a squall. One of the most requested runs is the drive west toward Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, a trip that takes about forty minutes in fair weather and considerably longer when a photo stop at Empire Bluff enters the conversation.


  • Downtown Traverse City, Front Street hotels, and the Village at Grand Traverse Commons
  • Acme, Williamsburg, Turtle Creek Casino, and the resorts along East Bay
  • Old Mission Peninsula tasting rooms and Mission Point Lighthouse
  • Suttons Bay, Northport, Glen Arbor, and the Leelanau Peninsula wine trail
  • Elk Rapids, Torch Lake, Bellaire, and Shanty Creek Resorts
  • Petoskey, Bay Harbor, Charlevoix, Boyne City, and Boyne Mountain
  • Interlochen Center for the Arts, Thompsonville, and Crystal Mountain
  • Frankfort, Beulah, Cadillac, and the Manistee lakeshore


Why Travelers Across the Grand Traverse Region Rely on Us


Union Limousine has operated chauffeured ground transportation since 1997, and the standards that govern a Manhattan airport run apply the same way to a February pickup in Traverse City. Every vehicle carries commercial insurance, every chauffeur clears a background screening and drug testing program, and dispatch stays staffed around the clock so a two in the morning delay reaches a live dispatcher. Rates are quoted flat before you confirm, with tolls and airport fees written into the quote itself.


  • Flat rate quotes confirmed in writing before the reservation is locked
  • Chauffeurs who drive US 31, M 22, and M 72 through every season and know where the drifting starts
  • Vehicles inspected on a fixed schedule and cleaned between every assignment
  • Corporate accounts with consolidated billing for firms flying staff into northern Michigan
  • Hourly charter available after the transfer for winery days, ski shuttles, and evening reservations

Frequently Asked Questions

Explore our FAQs to learn more about our luxury fleet, professional chauffeurs, airport transfers, reservations, and private transportation services designed for a comfortable and seamless travel experience.

For a domestic morning flight we recommend arriving at the terminal ninety minutes before departure, which usually means a pickup two hours ahead from downtown Traverse City. Winter mornings get an extra fifteen minutes for road conditions along US 31.

We track your tail number from the origin airport and adjust the pickup automatically, so a delayed connection through Detroit or Minneapolis does not cost you the reservation. Complimentary wait time is included on all arrivals, and there is no rebooking fee when the airline moves you to a later flight.

Yes. The run west through Empire and Glen Arbor takes roughly forty to fifty minutes depending on season and traffic. Many guests book it as an hourly charter so the chauffeur waits during the Dune Climb and the Pierce Stocking drive.

Sprinter vans carry up to 14 passengers and are the most requested vehicle for corporate arrivals and winery groups. Give us the passenger count and luggage volume at booking and we will confirm whether one van covers the group or a second vehicle is warranted.

The airport sits about four miles southeast of Front Street, a drive of ten to twenty minutes depending on the season. Summer weekends and Cherry Festival week push that toward the higher end.

We cover the full northwest lower peninsula, including Petoskey, Bay Harbor, Charlevoix, Boyne City, and Harbor Springs. Expect roughly ninety minutes northbound from the terminal, longer when snow is falling across the Boyne highlands.

Party buses seat up to 30 passengers and are a common choice for Leelanau and Old Mission tasting routes that begin at the airport. Tasting room stops are arranged by the hour, and we coordinate arrival windows so every stop is open when your group pulls up.

Ski season transfers to Shanty Creek, Crystal Mountain, Boyne Mountain, and Nub's Nob run all winter with vehicles equipped for northern Michigan snow. Tell us your equipment count at booking so the right cargo capacity is assigned.


Stretch limousines seat up to 20 passengers, while mini charter buses reach 35 and full size coaches reach 56 for larger guest movements. Union Limousine regularly runs a combination of vehicles across an entire wedding weekend, from airport arrivals to the shuttle back after the reception.

Hourly charter is available on every vehicle class with a standard minimum, and it is the usual structure for winery days, brewery routes, golf outings, and evening reservations downtown. Your chauffeur stays with the group for the full block, including the gaps between stops.
