Sarasota Bradenton International (SRQ) Airport Car Service
Sarasota Bradenton International Airport (SRQ) serves one of Florida's most distinctive cultural and leisure markets — a region celebrated for world-class beaches, arts institutions, and an affluent retirement community that extends from Sarasota's Ringling Museum to Anna Maria Island's beachfront cottages. Located approximately four miles north of downtown Sarasota and ten miles south of Bradenton, SRQ processes over 2.5 million passengers annually on carriers including American, United, Delta, and seasonal service from multiple others. Union Limousine provides professional car service as part of our Florida airport car service network, serving SRQ's arts-focused, luxury-oriented market with appropriate vehicles and chauffeur standards. Integrated into our florida airport car service network covering the Gulf Coast from Pensacola to the Keys, Union Limousine serves the Sarasota-Bradenton region from SRQ with the same fixed-rate, professional standard applied at every Florida airport we operate.
Sarasota is known nationally as Florida's Cultural Coast — home to The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art, Asolo Repertory Theatre, the Sarasota Opera, and an exceptional culinary scene on Main Street and St. Armands Circle. This cultural identity attracts a well-traveled, arts-engaged clientele alongside the beach tourists and seasonal residents who round out Sarasota's visitor profile. Our service reflects the standard this market expects.
Our airport transfer service from SRQ covers Sarasota, Bradenton, Anna Maria Island, Siesta Key, and the Gulf Coast — with no surge pricing, confirmed drivers, and real-time flight monitoring for every departure and arrival.

Pickup at Sarasota Bradenton International Airport
SRQ is a compact, easy-to-navigate airport with a single terminal and two concourses:
- SRQ has a single terminal building with Concourses A and B. All arrivals proceed to the baggage claim area on the Ground Level
- Ground transportation — including pre-booked car services — is located curbside at the Ground Level exit. Your Union Limousine chauffeur meets you here with a nameplate
- SRQ is frequently cited by travel publications as one of the most pleasant airport experiences in Florida — short walks, helpful staff, and minimal congestion at every point
- Seasonal service at SRQ expands significantly from December through April, with additional airlines adding Sarasota routes during the winter season. Confirm your carrier's concourse assignment when booking
- Rideshare availability at SRQ is more limited than at Tampa — particularly for early morning and late evening Siesta Key and Anna Maria Island transfers. Pre-booking Union Limousine guarantees your transfer is in place before you land
