Tacoma Narrows (TIW) Airport Car Service

TIW (Tacoma Narrows Airport) sits in Gig Harbor in Pierce County, Washington, accessible via SR 16 across the legendary Tacoma Narrows Bridge from Tacoma. The airport is owned and operated by Pierce County and serves as a general aviation gateway for the Tacoma corporate corridor, Joint Base Lewis McChord, and the broader South Puget Sound business base. There is no scheduled commercial service. Our chauffeurs stage at the terminal area for charter and FBO pickups.

TIW to downtown Tacoma runs about 15 to 20 minutes via SR 16 eastbound across the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, and TIW to Joint Base Lewis McChord (the consolidated military installation combining the former Fort Lewis Army installation and McChord Air Force Base) runs about 30 to 40 minutes via SR 16 to Interstate 5 southbound. We handle daily transfers to area hotels including the Hotel Murano Tacoma, the Marriott Tacoma Downtown, and the Inn at Gig Harbor.
