Herlong Recreational (HEG) Airport Limo Service

Stretch Limo Service to and from Herlong Recreational (HEG) Airport

Pilots, skydivers, glider crews, and private charter passengers who land on the Westside of Jacksonville need a ride that is waiting when the propeller stops. Our Herlong Recreational (HEG) Airport limo service links the general aviation ramp at 9300 Normandy Boulevard with hotels, homes, offices, and event venues across Northeast Florida, and it forms one part of our wider Florida airport limo service network that covers commercial and private airfields statewide.

Union Limousine has moved travelers since 1997, and our dispatch team plans a trip from a small recreational field with the same discipline it gives a major hub. You get a licensed chauffeur, a clean late model vehicle, arrival monitoring for flights that file a plan, and one flat quote agreed before the wheels turn. We drive solo pilots heading to downtown meetings, families arriving for a horse show weekend, and jump teams moving gear between the airfield and their hotels.

Why Travelers Book Our HEG Airport Chauffeurs?

A recreational airport runs on its own rhythm. Flights come and go at dawn, at sunset, and whenever the weather opens up, so your ground ride has to follow that rhythm too. Here is what our service brings to every Herlong trip:

• Terminal door meet: Your chauffeur waits at the First Coast Flight Center entrance, the only FBO on the field, so you walk from the pilot lounge straight into a cool, ready vehicle.
• Flat, confirmed pricing: The rate you approve at booking covers the route and reasonable arrival wait time, with no surge multipliers on busy Jaguars game days.
• Around the clock dispatch: Early training flights and late jumps are normal at Herlong, and our team answers the phone at every hour.
• Westside route knowledge: Chauffeurs know Normandy Boulevard, Interstate 295, Interstate 10, and the Blanding Boulevard run toward Orange Park.
• Room for gear: SUVs and Sprinter vans carry parachute rigs, flight bags, golf clubs, and show equipment while every passenger still has a comfortable seat.

Popular Routes From Herlong Field

Herlong sits about 11 miles southwest of downtown Jacksonville along Normandy Boulevard, a road the city opened in 1944 and named in memory of the soldiers who landed on the Normandy coast. That location puts most of the region within a short, predictable drive.

Westside and Cecil Area Stops

• Jacksonville Equestrian Center on Normandy Boulevard for horse shows, rodeos, and weekend competitions.
• Cecil Airport and the Cecil Commerce Center for aerospace, logistics, and contractor meetings.
• The Florida State College of Jacksonville Cecil Center campus and the hotels near the Interstate 10 and Interstate 295 interchange.

Downtown, the Southside, and the Beaches

• Downtown hotels, VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena, and EverBank Stadium for concerts and football Sundays.
• Southside offices along Baymeadows Road and the shops at St. Johns Town Center.
• Jacksonville Beach, Ponte Vedra Beach, and the TPC Sawgrass resort area.

Clay County, St. Augustine, and Amelia Island

Orange Park, Fleming Island, and Middleburg lie directly south of the field, and guests who stay there often pair this transfer with our Clay County car service for meetings and errands during the visit. Longer trips reach historic St. Augustine, Fernandina Beach on Amelia Island, and Gainesville for campus visits.

Solo travelers who only need a quick hotel run can reserve our Herlong airport car service under the same flat rate structure. When a group splits between a private arrival at Herlong and an airline arrival on the Northside, we coordinate both pickups, and our Jacksonville International airport limo team meets the commercial passengers on a matching schedule.

Fleet Options for Herlong Airport Transfers

Stretch Limousines (Up to 20 Passengers)

Sprinter Vans (Up to 14 Passengers)

A strong fit for 7 to 14 riders. Skydiving teams, glider clubs, and corporate groups appreciate the standing headroom, generous luggage space, and easy loading of parachute rigs and equipment cases.

Practical for 20 to 35 travelers who need structured group movement. Aviation workshops, fly in events, youth sports teams, and church retreats use these coaches for shuttles between Herlong, hotels, and venues.

History and Importance of Herlong Field

Herlong opened during World War II as a training field where student pilots from Naval Air Station Jacksonville practiced touch and go landings. On November 19, 1946, the Navy turned the property over to the City of Jacksonville, and the field took the name of Dr. M. B. Herlong, a city commission chairman and state senator who served through the 1930s. Ownership passed to the Jacksonville Port Authority in the mid 1960s, and in 2001 the state legislature created the Jacksonville Aviation Authority to run the public airports in Duval County. That same year, the Florida Department of Transportation named Herlong its General Aviation Airport of the Year.

Today the field serves as the recreational airport in a four airport system. By hosting sport and training flights, it keeps light aircraft traffic away from the airline operation at Jacksonville International.

Airlines and Scheduled Service

No commercial airline operates scheduled flights at Herlong. Activity comes from single and twin engine aircraft, gliders, helicopters, ultralights, turboprops, corporate jets, and skydiving operations, and the Goodyear Blimp makes an occasional appearance. Travelers who hold airline tickets use Jacksonville International on the Northside of the city.

Destinations and Flight Activity

Herlong has no scheduled domestic routes. Private owners, flight schools, and charter operators plan trips individually, connecting the field with other general aviation airports around Florida and the Southeast on their own timetables.

Runways and Airfield Layout

The airport covers roughly 1,434 acres and has two asphalt runways: Runway 7/25 at 4,000 feet and Runway 11/29 at 3,500 feet. Field elevation sits under 90 feet above sea level.

Terminal Information

A single general aviation terminal serves pilots and passengers, with First Coast Flight Center acting as the fixed base operator. The building was renovated in 2001 and offers a pilot lounge, a flight planning room, a rentable conference room, and a crew car. Fuel service includes self service 100LL for after hours use and full service Jet A.

Passenger Traffic and Operations

Herlong records over 75,000 takeoffs and landings a year and is home to about 140 based aircraft. A Florida Department of Transportation study credited the field with over $21.5 million in annual economic impact for the local area.

Parking Overview

Surface parking sits beside the terminal for pilots, students, and visitors. The field has no parking garages or economy lots, so travelers leaving a car for several days should confirm overnight arrangements with the FBO ahead of time.

Pickup and Drop Off Guidance

For arrivals, your chauffeur parks near the terminal entrance off Normandy Boulevard and meets you in the lobby with a name sign. For departures, we time the drop off to give you room for preflight checks, fueling, and loading.

Arriving by Private Aircraft

Share your tail number, departure airport, and estimated arrival time when you book. Our dispatch team watches that arrival and shifts the pickup if you land early or late.

Pilots Flying Their Own Aircraft

Tie down or hangar the aircraft first, then call or text your chauffeur. The vehicle pulls to the terminal door while you finish securing the plane.

After Hours Arrivals

The FBO keeps limited staffed hours, so for late landings we confirm a meeting spot at the terminal entrance and your chauffeur calls you on arrival.

Ground Transportation Options

Rental cars can be arranged through the FBO, and based pilots can use the crew car for short errands. Rideshare apps work in the area, though wait times on the Westside can stretch, and taxis must be called in advance because none stage at the terminal. Public transit options near the field are limited, which makes a reserved vehicle the most dependable way to reach downtown or the beaches.

Tips for Arriving Passengers

• Summer afternoons bring thunderstorms, so leave some slack in your schedule and keep your chauffeur updated on any hold.
• Save the FBO number, +1 904 783 2805, in your phone for gate and ramp questions.
• Expect heavier traffic on Normandy Boulevard during large Equestrian Center events.
• Plan for weekday rush hour on Interstate 295 when heading toward the Southside or Orange Park.

Why a Prebooked Chauffeur Works Better at HEG?

Small airfields expose the weak points of taxis and rideshare. Drivers may accept a request from miles away, miss the FBO entrance, or cancel after seeing a pile of gear. A reserved Union Limousine chauffeur is already on site, knows the terminal layout, tracks your arrival, and charges the flat price you approved, which matters after a long flight or a full day of jumps.

Statewide and National Connections

Travelers continuing across the state keep the same standards with our limo service in Florida, covering Orlando, Tampa, Miami, and the Panhandle. For trips outside the state, our national limousine service handles connections in New York and major cities nationwide.
