Pierre Regional (PIR) Airport Car Service

PIR (Pierre Regional Airport) sits about 3 miles north of downtown Pierre in Hughes County, South Dakota, accessible via SR 1804 and Garfield Avenue. The airport is owned and operated by the City of Pierre. Public Charters and limited scheduled service via Denver Air Connection provide commercial service. PIR serves as the primary commercial gateway for the South Dakota state government, with Pierre being one of the smallest state capitals in the United States. Our chauffeurs stage at the commercial vehicle lane outside the terminal.

PIR to the South Dakota State Capitol (the distinctive 1910 Beaux Arts Capitol building, one of the smallest and most accessible state capitols in the country) and downtown Pierre runs about 5 to 10 minutes via Garfield Avenue southbound. We handle daily transfers to Pierre hotels including the Ramkota Hotel Pierre and the AmericInn Lodge and Suites Pierre.
