Birmingham Shuttlesworth (BHM) Airport Limo Service

Stretch Limo Service to and from Birmingham Shuttlesworth International (BHM) Airport

Flights into Birmingham touch down four miles northeast of downtown, and the ride that follows sets the tone for the rest of the day. Our Birmingham Shuttlesworth International (BHM) Airport limo service places a licensed chauffeur at the curb before your bags reach the carousel, with the cabin already cooled, the route already mapped, and nothing left to negotiate once you step outside. As part of our Alabama airport limo service, this page explains how pricing works, which vehicles fit which trips, and what travelers should expect from the terminal itself.

Why Travelers Choose a Private Limo at BHM?

BHM is the largest commercial airport in Alabama, with nonstop flights to 22 airports in 19 cities and close to 3.3 million passengers passing through each year. That volume means a crowded curb on Monday mornings, a long rideshare queue after late evening arrivals, and taxi lines that stall when two Southwest flights deplane at once. A reserved car from Union Limousine removes the guesswork. Your chauffeur knows your flight number, watches it from departure to touchdown, and adjusts the pickup time on his own when the schedule slips.

• Flat rates quoted in advance, so a thunderstorm over Atlanta never changes your fare.
• Chauffeurs who are background checked, drug tested, and trained on the BHM terminal roadway.
• Sixty minutes of complimentary wait time on domestic arrivals, timed from the actual landing.
• Late model black vehicles cleaned between every assignment, with bottled water on board.
• Dispatch staffed around the clock for red eye landings and early departures out of Concourse A.

Flight Tracking and Terminal Meet and Greet

Every reservation includes live flight monitoring. For a curbside pickup, the chauffeur texts you a vehicle description and license plate as you taxi to the gate, then pulls into the lower level arrivals lane when you reach the exit doors. For a meet and greet, he waits inside baggage claim holding a name sign, helps with checked bags, and walks you across the roadway to the parked car. Executives arriving for meetings in the Medical District and families landing with strollers both tell us the inside meet is worth the small added fee.

Pricing That Alabama Travelers Can Plan Around

Our quotes are all inclusive for airport transfers: tolls, fuel, airport fees, and gratuity are built into the number you see. Hourly bookings start at a minimum block and bill in half hour increments, which suits a chauffeur who shuttles you between the airport, a hotel in Hoover, and a dinner reservation in Mountain Brook. Point to point trips, including runs from BHM to Tuscaloosa for a Crimson Tide weekend, are priced by zone with no surge pricing at any hour.

Who Rides With Us at Birmingham Airport?

Corporate Arrivals and Executive Transfers

Birmingham's economy runs on healthcare, banking, insurance, and engineering, and most of those headquarters sit within a fifteen minute drive of the terminal. Visiting physicians heading to UAB Hospital, auditors bound for the towers along 20th Street North, and site teams checking into Innovation Depot all book sedans and SUVs with Union Limousine because the receipt arrives by email the moment the ride ends and the chauffeur never asks for directions.

Weddings, Game Days, and Weekend Escapes

Out of town guests flying in for a wedding at the Florentine or a reception at Avondale Brewing Company want a single vehicle that collects everyone on the same flight. Football weekends send stretch limos and party buses down I 59 toward Tuscaloosa and up US 280 toward Auburn, while Talladega race weeks fill every Sprinter van we have. Couples celebrating an anniversary at a Highlands dinner also use the same cars for a quiet airport return the next morning.

Conference Groups and Multi Stop Charters

The BJCC complex, Protective Stadium, and the hotels around Uptown host conventions that bring hundreds of attendees through BHM within a single afternoon. We stage mini and full size coaches in the commercial lane, load by flight bank, and run continuous loops until the last delegate clears baggage claim. A single coordinator on our side handles manifests, name boards, and driver assignments so your planner only deals with one phone number.

Our Fleet for Birmingham Airport Transfers

Every vehicle below is dispatched from our Alabama fleet, inspected before each shift, and matched to your passenger count and luggage load.

• Sedans (up to 3 passengers): executive cars for a solo traveler or a couple with two large suitcases; the standard choice for UAB consultants and law firm partners arriving on the first Delta flight.
• SUVs (up to 6 passengers): full size SUVs with rear cargo space for golf bags, car seats, or a family of five returning from Orlando.
• Stretch limousines (up to 20 passengers): classic stretch cars for bridal parties, prom nights, and milestone birthdays that begin with an airport pickup and end at a downtown venue.
• Sprinter vans (up to 14 passengers): high roof vans with forward facing captain chairs, perfect for sales teams, tour groups, and tailgate crews bound for Bryant Denny Stadium.
• Party buses (up to 30 passengers): wraparound seating, sound systems, and LED lighting for bachelor and bachelorette groups flying in from Nashville or Dallas.
• Mini charter buses (up to 35 passengers): coach seating with overhead racks for church retreats, youth sports teams, and academic groups from Samford or Birmingham Southern.
• Full size charter buses (up to 56 passengers): restroom equipped motorcoaches with under floor luggage bays for convention delegations, cruise transfers to Mobile, and corporate incentive trips.

Service Across Alabama, Starting at the BHM Curb

Birmingham is the hub, but the reservation can end anywhere in the state. Our limo service in Alabama covers the Over the Mountain suburbs of Homewood, Vestavia Hills, and Mountain Brook, the growing corridors around Hoover and Trussville, and longer runs to Montgomery, Anniston, Gadsden, and Cullman. Travelers connecting between airports can pair this page with our Huntsville International Airport car service for Redstone Arsenal and Cummings Research Park trips, while guests who prefer a dedicated driver for the whole stay book our airport chauffeur service in Alabama by the hour.

Visitors with free time between flights often ask the chauffeur for a quick loop past Vulcan Park, Railroad Park, and the Civil Rights District, three of the landmarks the City of Birmingham highlights for first time guests. For a fuller itinerary, the Greater Birmingham Convention and Visitors Bureau keeps a current guide to things to do around Birmingham, from Michelin recognized restaurants to the Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum out in Leeds.

Birmingham Shuttlesworth International Airport: A Traveler's Guide

The details below are drawn from the Birmingham Airport Authority and recent reporting on the terminal, so you know what to expect before your chauffeur meets you.

History and Importance to Central Alabama

The field opened on May 31, 1931 as Birmingham Municipal Airport, took the International name in 1993 after a customs facility arrived, and was renamed in 2008 to honor Reverend Fred Shuttlesworth, the Birmingham pastor who led the city's civil rights movement. A $201 million terminal modernization completed in 2014 stripped the 1960s building to its frame, expanded it to roughly 455,000 square feet, and consolidated two security checkpoints into one. Today the airport anchors passenger service for Jefferson County and the surrounding metro, and its 12,000 foot main runway can handle the largest widebody jets.

Airlines Serving BHM

Scheduled carriers at Birmingham include American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Southwest Airlines, United Airlines, Frontier Airlines, and Breeze Airways, which launched Birmingham service in July 2026 with nonstop flights to Fort Lauderdale and Raleigh Durham. Southwest carries the largest share of local passengers, and Delta Connection feeds Atlanta several times a day.

Nonstop Domestic Destinations

Nonstop routes reach Atlanta, Charlotte, Chicago O'Hare, Dallas Fort Worth and Dallas Love Field, Denver, Houston Hobby and Houston Intercontinental, Las Vegas, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, Tampa, Nashville, Austin, Baltimore Washington, Washington Reagan National, Philadelphia, Raleigh Durham, and New York area hubs. Southwest added second daily frequencies to Nashville and Denver in April 2026, and the Las Vegas run is the longest nonstop on the schedule at about four and a half hours.

Terminal Layout

BHM operates a single terminal with three connected concourses behind one central checkpoint. Concourse A holds eight gates used mainly by Delta, Concourse B has five gates centered on American, and Concourse C serves Southwest and United from six gates, for 19 gates in all with room to add four more. Ticketing sits on the upper level, baggage claim and ground transportation are on the lower level, and the concourses share concessions from local names such as Jim 'N Nick's alongside national brands.

Passenger Traffic

Annual traffic climbed from 2.68 million passengers in 2022 to 3.05 million in 2023 and 3.24 million in 2024, the first year the airport surpassed its 2019 totals. The authority now reports close to 3.3 million passengers a year, which places BHM in the FAA's small hub category and well ahead of Huntsville, Mobile, and Montgomery combined.

Parking Overview

A multistory deck connects to the terminal by covered walkway, with hourly parking on the lower levels and daily parking above. After the July 2025 rate restructuring, hourly parking tops out at $26 per day, daily parking runs $17 per day, and the economy lot stays at $10 per day with shuttle service. Valet is available at the departures curb, and a free cell phone lot off Messer Airport Highway lets private drivers wait until a passenger has collected bags.

Pickup and Drop Off Guidance

Departing passengers are dropped at the upper level curb outside ticketing; curbside stopping is for active unloading only, and airport police move vehicles that linger. Arriving passengers exit baggage claim onto the lower level roadway, where the inner curb is reserved for taxis and shuttles and the commercial lanes handle limousines and prearranged cars. Your chauffeur will tell you which door number to use, and for Concourse A arrivals the walk from the gate to that door takes about seven minutes.

Ground Transportation Options

Metered taxis queue outside baggage claim, Uber and Lyft pick up from a marked rideshare zone on the lower level, and rental car counters sit inside the terminal with the ready lot a short walk away. The MAX Transit bus system runs a fixed route between the airport and the downtown Intermodal Facility on weekdays, which works for budget travelers with light bags but not for anyone on a tight meeting schedule. Aviation fans with a layover of two hours or longer can visit the Southern Museum of Flight, a short drive from the terminal on 73rd Street North, before the chauffeur returns them to departures.

Tips for Arriving Passengers

• Turn on your phone before leaving the jet bridge; the chauffeur's text with the car description will already be waiting.
• Checked bags from Concourse A arrive on the carousels closest to the western exit, so follow the overhead signs to the correct carousel.
• Birmingham sits in the Central time zone, one hour behind flights arriving from the East Coast, so reset your watch before confirming a meeting time.
• Summer afternoons bring short, heavy storms across central Alabama; your chauffeur will pull under the covered roadway and wait for you there.
• Keep your boarding pass handy until you reach the car; some rideshare and shuttle lanes check them before loading.

Why a Prebooked Chauffeur Beats Taxis and Rideshare at BHM?

Rideshare prices at Birmingham climb sharply after 10 p.m. and during Talladega or Magic City Classic weekends, and the app will not hold a driver while you wait for a delayed bag. Taxis accept the next passenger in line regardless of destination, so a run to Tuscaloosa can mean a reluctant driver and an unfamiliar meter. A prebooked chauffeur has your name, your flight, and your fare locked before you board in another city, and the same driver waits through delays at no extra cost. For anyone arriving with clients, children, or a tight schedule, that certainty is the entire point.
