Augusta State (AUG) Airport Limo Service

Stretch Limo Service to and from Augusta State (AUG) Airport

Flying into Maine's capital should end with a chauffeur holding your name card at the terminal door, a warm vehicle a few steps away, and a direct run to wherever the day takes you. That is exactly what we deliver at Augusta State Airport. Our Maine airport limo service covers every Cape Air arrival and departure at AUG, along with the private and corporate flights handled on the general aviation side of the field, so legislators, lobbyists, hospital executives, wedding parties, and vacationing families all get the same punctual, polished ride.

Augusta State Airport is small, and that works in your favor. There is no terminal maze, no remote shuttle lot, and no taxi line stretching down the curb. Your chauffeur waits inside, loads your bags, and has you rolling along Western Avenue within minutes of touchdown. From there, the State House is about ten minutes away, Waterville and Colby College sit half an hour north, and the Belgrade Lakes are an easy drive west. Union Limousine has been refining airport transfers since 1997, and we bring that same discipline to every pickup in Kennebec County.

Why Travelers Choose Us for AUG Airport Limo Service?

Capital city travel runs on a clock. Committee hearings start on time, depositions at the Capital Judicial Center do not wait, and the last Cape Air departure to Boston leaves whether you are seated or still circling for parking. Our limo service is built for people who cannot afford a loose connection at either end of the trip.

What Sets Our Augusta Airport Transfers Apart?

• Live flight tracking on every booking. We watch each Cape Air leg from Boston and shift your pickup time when fog over the Kennebec Valley or a Logan ground stop slows the schedule.
• Meet and greet inside the terminal. Your chauffeur stands near the arrivals door with a printed name sign, handles the luggage, and walks you straight to the vehicle.
• Fixed quotes with no surge pricing. The rate you confirm is the rate you pay, even during legislative session crunch weeks, Civic Center trade shows, or a January snowstorm.
• Licensed, insured, background checked chauffeurs who know the one way loop downtown, the Memorial Bridge approach, and the fastest route to Interstate 95 at either Augusta exit.
• Round the clock dispatch, so a 6:40 a.m. departure to Boston or a late evening corporate jet arrival is handled with the same calm attention.
• Clean, late model black vehicles stocked with bottled water, phone chargers, and the cabin temperature set before you step out into the Maine air.

Where We Take You from Augusta State Airport?

AUG sits on the west side of the city, a short hop from downtown and the Kennebec River waterfront. Our limo service in Maine reaches every corner of the state from this doorstep, and the routes below are the ones our chauffeurs drive most often.

Augusta, Hallowell, and Gardiner

Most AUG passengers are headed somewhere within a ten minute radius: the Maine State House and the Cross Office Building on State Street, the Blaine House, the Capital Judicial Center on Court Street, the Augusta Civic Center for conferences and trade shows, or the Alfond Center for Health on the east side of the river. We also run frequent transfers to the University of Maine at Augusta, the Maine State Museum, Old Fort Western, Hallowell's Water Street restaurants and antique shops, and Gardiner's Johnson Hall performing arts venue.

Waterville, Winslow, and the Belgrade Lakes

Half an hour up Interstate 95 or Route 201, Waterville draws steady traffic through AUG for Colby College admissions visits, Thomas College events, performances at the Waterville Opera House, and appointments at Inland Hospital. Westward, the Belgrade Lakes region fills our summer calendar with transfers to Great Pond, Long Pond, and Messalonskee Lake cottages, the Belgrade Lakes Golf Club, and the dozens of youth camps that bring parents through Augusta every June and August.

Statewide Connections from AUG

Augusta's central location makes it a practical gateway for the whole state. We regularly carry passengers to Lewiston and Bates College, Brunswick and Bowdoin College, the Freeport outlet district, Portland's Old Port, and the Portland International Jetport for onward flights. Northbound, we serve Bangor and Bangor International Airport, while coastal runs reach Camden, Rockland, Boothbay Harbor, and Bar Harbor. In winter, Sugarloaf and Sunday River transfers are a weekly fixture. Our car service in Maine handles these longer drives with chauffeurs who know the roads in every season.

Our Fleet for Augusta Airport Transfers

Every vehicle in the Union Limousine fleet is detailed before each trip and matched to your passenger count and luggage, so a solo traveler never pays for a bus and a wedding party never squeezes into a sedan.

Luxury Sedans (Up to 3 Passengers)

Executive sedans suit individual travelers and couples flying Cape Air into AUG for State House business, legal matters, or a weekend in Hallowell. Expect leather seating, a quiet cabin, and trunk space for two large suitcases plus carry ons.

Premium SUVs (Up to 6 Passengers)

Full size SUVs carry families, small delegations, and anyone traveling with golf bags, camp trunks, or winter gear. All wheel drive makes them the default choice for Belgrade Lakes and ski country transfers from December through March.

Stretch Limousines (Up to 20 Passengers)

Stretch limousines turn an airport pickup into the first event of the weekend. They are booked most often for Augusta and Waterville weddings, milestone birthdays, Colby and Thomas College celebrations, and corporate hospitality during the legislative session.

Sprinter Vans (Up to 14 Passengers)

Mercedes Sprinter vans offer stand up headroom, individual captain's chairs, and a rear luggage bay, which makes them ideal for lobbying teams, medical groups visiting the Alfond Center, and extended families arriving on the same Boston flight.

Party Buses (Up to 30 Passengers)

Party buses with wraparound seating, LED lighting, and premium sound systems are the pick for bachelor and bachelorette weekends on the lakes, brewery tours between Augusta and Portland, and reunion groups landing at AUG together.

Mini Charter Buses (Up to 35 Passengers)

Mini coaches handle conference shuttles between AUG, downtown hotels, and the Augusta Civic Center, as well as campus tour groups and youth sports teams traveling with equipment.

Full Size Charter Buses (Up to 56 Passengers)

Full size motorcoaches with restrooms, reclining seats, and underfloor luggage bays serve statewide association meetings, large wedding guest lists, and multi day tours that begin or end at Augusta State Airport.

Augusta State (AUG) Airport Information

Knowing how AUG works makes your transfer smoother, so here is the practical picture of Maine's capital city airport, from its Depression era origins to where your chauffeur will be standing when you land.

History and Importance

Augusta State Airport traces its roots to 1934, when the Maine Emergency Relief Administration developed the field as a New Deal public works project during a statewide survey of airport sites. Maine Instrument Flight set up as the fixed base operator in 1946 and remains on the field today, offering charter flights, flight training, fuel, hangars, and maintenance. The State of Maine owns the 406 acre property, while the City of Augusta manages and operates it under a long standing agreement with the Maine Department of Transportation.

For a facility of its size, AUG punches well above its weight. Its two paved runways measure 5,001 feet and 4,000 feet, long enough for nearly every corporate jet in service, and the airport accepts aircraft up to 70,000 pounds with a waiver process for anything over 60,000. Its location one mile from the State House makes it the preferred arrival point for government officials, visiting executives, and anyone whose business is tied to the capital.

Airlines Operating from AUG

Cape Air is the sole scheduled passenger carrier at Augusta State Airport and has flown the route since December 2010 under the federal EAS program, which supports air links between smaller communities and major hubs. Flights operate on nine seat Cessna 402 and Tecnam P2012 Traveller aircraft, with three daily round trips in winter and four during the summer season. Cape Air's local office is at the terminal, and its staff are known for helping passengers coordinate ground transportation and connections.

The current contract term runs through October 31, 2026, and the U.S. Department of Transportation has been reviewing proposals from Cape Air, Contour Airlines, and Boutique Air for the next term. Contour has pitched 30 seat Embraer regional jets to both Boston and Washington, D.C., which would be the first jet service in the airport's history. If you are booking travel for late 2026 or 2027, confirm the carrier and schedule before you fly, and know that our chauffeurs will meet whichever aircraft lands.

Domestic Destinations

AUG offers one nonstop destination: Boston Logan International Airport, roughly 150 air miles south and about 80 minutes in the air. That single link opens the world, because Cape Air operates from Terminal C at Boston Logan, the same terminal used by its codeshare partner JetBlue. Passengers can connect to over 30 JetBlue cities on a single ticket, and interline agreements with American and United add further options from Terminal B. Popular onward routes from Augusta include New York, Washington, Orlando, Fort Lauderdale, and Chicago.

Terminal Information

The passenger terminal is a single story building with the Cape Air ticket counter, a TSA screening checkpoint for departures, a compact waiting area, restrooms, free WiFi, and the Hertz rental counter. Thai With Us, a locally owned restaurant, operates inside the terminal and has become a favorite lunch spot for Augusta residents as well as travelers. Private and charter aviation uses the separate Maine Instrument Flight facility at 215 Winthrop Street, so tell us at booking which side of the field you are arriving on.

Passenger Traffic

AUG is a low volume airport by design. Federal route data for the twelve months ending March 2025 show just over 5,000 passengers boarding the Boston flights, and Cape Air projects around 10,300 total annual passengers in its most recent proposal. The airline describes Augusta traffic as predominantly business related, which matches what we see in our own bookings: weekday peaks during the legislative session, steady corporate and legal travel year round, and a summer bump from lake and camp visitors. Low volume means short lines, quick baggage claim, and chauffeurs who can park and meet you inside without delay.

Parking Overview

Parking at Augusta State Airport is free for anyone using an airport service, including long term stays for Cape Air passengers. Spaces run along the fence line overlooking the runways and in a second lot across Airport Road, all within a short walk of the terminal door. There is no garage, no shuttle, and no reservation system. In winter the lots are plowed, but vehicles left for a week can still need digging out, which is one practical reason many regular travelers choose a chauffeur for the door to door trip.

Pickup and Drop Off Guidance

Arrivals at AUG

Your chauffeur monitors the inbound Cape Air flight and is positioned inside the terminal before the aircraft taxis in. Bags are handed over on the ramp side and arrive in the waiting area within minutes. Once you have your luggage, your chauffeur escorts you to the vehicle parked directly outside. For private aviation arrivals, we coordinate with the fixed base operator and pull up to the Winthrop Street facility.

Departures from AUG

We recommend arriving 60 minutes before a Cape Air departure, since the single security checkpoint opens shortly before each flight and the airline weighs passengers and bags for balance on its smaller aircraft. Your chauffeur drops you at the terminal entrance on Airport Road, unloads luggage, and confirms your flight is on schedule before departing.

Ground Transportation Options

Beyond chauffeured service, AUG passengers can call one of several local taxi companies, though the airport advises phoning ahead for weekend and late night coverage because several operators stop running by 10 p.m. or midnight. Hertz maintains an on site rental desk with weekday hours and after hours arrangements for members. Public transit does not stop at the airport itself; the regional provider, Kennebec Valley Community Action Program, runs KV Van public transit and fixed routes connecting Augusta with Waterville and Fairfield from stops downtown. Intercity coaches to Portland and Boston depart from the Augusta Transportation Center on Industrial Drive, about three miles from the terminal.

Tips for Arriving Passengers

Before You Land

Text your chauffeur your seat row and bag count before the Boston departure so the meet and greet is instant. Cape Air cabins have strict weight limits, so pack light and expect checked bags to be hand carried to the terminal. Cell coverage on approach is good, and the airport WiFi works in the waiting area.

Winter Weather Notes

Augusta averages over 60 inches of snow a year, and Cape Air's small aircraft are sensitive to icing and crosswinds. Build an extra hour into tight winter itineraries, and if your flight diverts to Portland or cancels into Boston, call our dispatch. We routinely reposition vehicles to the Portland Jetport or run the full drive from Logan when a flight does not operate.

Keep These Numbers Handy

Save the airport's main line (+1 207 626 2306) and Cape Air's local office number, both posted at the terminal counter, alongside our dispatch line. If a connection in Boston slips, one call lets us rebook your Augusta pickup for the next flight at no extra charge.

Why a Prebooked Chauffeur Beats Taxis and Rideshare at AUG?

Rideshare availability in Augusta is thin, especially before 7 a.m., after 9 p.m., and on weekends when a single Cape Air arrival can exhaust the handful of drivers online. Taxis require a phone call and a wait, and several local companies close for the night before the last Boston flight lands. A prebooked chauffeur removes every one of those variables. The vehicle is confirmed days in advance, the price is locked, the driver is already tracking your flight, and the ride continues to Waterville, Portland, or the lakes without a renegotiation at the curb. For business travelers billing clients or agencies, a single itemized receipt from Union Limousine is far simpler to expense than a chain of app charges.

Augusta Airport Limo Services We Offer

Government and Corporate Travel

From lobbyists arriving for session days to agency heads flying in for cabinet meetings, we provide discreet sedans and SUVs with chauffeurs who understand State House security procedures and the parking realities around Capitol Park. Corporate accounts receive consolidated monthly billing and a dedicated coordinator.

Weddings and Lake Season Celebrations

Summer weddings at Belgrade Lakes lodges, Hallowell riverside venues, and Waterville estates often bring guests through AUG on the same Boston flights. We stage stretch limousines, Sprinter vans, and party buses at the terminal so the celebration starts the moment the wheels touch down.

Group Travel and Campus Visits

Colby College, Thomas College, and the University of Maine at Augusta host admitted student days, athletic tournaments, and alumni weekends that fill mini coaches from the airport. Our Maine airport charter bus rental team handles manifests, luggage, and multi stop routing for groups of 20 to 56.

Point to Point Transfers

Need a simple ride from the terminal to a downtown hotel, a hospital appointment, or a rental cottage? Our Augusta Airport car service covers one way and round trip transfers at flat rates, with the same flight tracking and meet and greet included on every booking.
