Through a network of independently owned transportation companies serving the Triangle, Raleighcoachbuscompany.com makes it easy to get your group to Raleigh–Durham International Airport without turning a simple airport run into a traffic ordeal. Downtown Raleigh sits approximately 14–16 miles from RDU via I-40 — a 20–30 minute drive off-peak that stretches to 35–55 minutes during morning or afternoon rush. One charter bus or minibus handles the I-40 corridor, the I-540 interchange, and the Aviation Parkway approach for your whole group, while everyone sits back instead of watching the clock in separate cars.

That's the Difference Between One Bus and Five Separate Cars at RDU
That's what group airport transportation through Raleighcoachbuscompany.com actually solves. When your whole group lands at RDU Terminal 1 and heads to the lower-level arrivals area to meet a bus, everyone boards together — luggage, carry-ons, and all — and heads directly to the destination. No splitting into multiple rideshares at surge pricing.
No hunting for the rideshare pickup zone (which is a separate designated area from the commercial charter bus zone at RDU). No waiting for five different cars to show up at five different times. One vehicle, one pickup, one flat price.

RDU Arrivals, Departures, and Everything In Between — Covered
With one form, you can compare buses for every leg of an airport trip in Raleigh — arrivals pickup at the lower-level baggage claim area of RDU Terminal 1, departures drop-off at the upper-level curb, and everything in between. Have your group fully assembled with all luggage before calling the bus forward — commercial vehicles stage in the designated commercial vehicle area at RDU and pull to the curb once your group is ready, not before. For current staging and commercial vehicle pickup details, check RDU's official ground transportation page or call the airport at 984-263-1590.
Then call 984-263-1590 to lock in your bus!
Flying through RDU Terminal 2? Departing passengers use the upper-level departures curb, while arriving passengers meet transportation on the lower-level arrivals curb; the airport's RDU terminal pickup and drop-off map shows the split clearly. Your bus uses the terminal level that matches your flight, so your group is not hauling luggage between arrival and departure curbs.
Charter buses transporting passengers to or from RDU must have a commercial vehicle permit, and pickup or drop-off is scheduled through RDU Ground Transportation at (919) 840-7530; the business office is open Monday through Friday, 7 a.m.-3 p.m. Your bus gets the airport's commercial-vehicle handling instead of trying to use the rideshare lane, with the full instructions in RDU's charter bus transportation instructions.

At Raleigh–Durham International Airport (RDU) (2400 John Brantley Blvd, Morrisville, NC 27560), departing groups are dropped off at the upper-level departures curb of Terminal 1. Arriving groups are picked up on the lower level outside baggage claim in the designated commercial vehicle area — a separate zone from the rideshare pickup area. Have your entire group assembled with all luggage before calling the bus forward.
Confirm current commercial vehicle staging details on RDU's ground transportation page or by calling 984-263-1590.
Downtown Raleigh is approximately 14–16 miles from RDU via I-40 East — roughly 20–30 minutes off-peak. During morning rush (7–9 am) or afternoon rush (4–7 pm), that same drive can stretch to 35–55 minutes, especially around the I-40/I-440 interchange. Build in a 30-minute buffer on top of the drive time when your flight lands during peak hours, and have your group assembled at the lower-level pickup area before calling for the bus.
Yes, and multi-stop hotel loops are one of the most common airport setups booked through the network. A typical Triangle run might pick up at the Hyatt Place Raleigh-Durham Airport in Morrisville, loop to the Marriott at Research Triangle Park in Durham, and head to RDU — all on one itinerary. Add roughly 10 minutes per stop when building your pickup window.
List your stops in the order you want them when you fill out the quote form, or give them to a live agent at 984-263-1590.
Book at least three to six months out for the best rates and the widest vehicle selection. The Triangle has several high-demand stretches where availability tightens fast: NC State, UNC, and Duke graduation seasons in May and December, Dreamville Festival at Dix Park in April, ACC Championship events at Lenovo Center (1400 Edwards Mill Rd, Raleigh, NC 27607), and prom season across Wake and Durham counties in April and May. Waiting until the last minute means higher rates and fewer buses to choose from — book early and save!
Yes — and it matters. At RDU Terminal 1, rideshare (Uber, Lyft) pickups are in a designated TNC zone on the lower arrivals level, separate from the commercial vehicle area where charter buses, minibuses, and shuttles stage. Walking to the rideshare zone when a charter bus is waiting in the commercial vehicle area is one of the most common ways a group ends up standing in the wrong place.
Confirm your exact pickup zone with your transportation provider before your flight lands, and check RDU's ground transportation page for the current layout.
