The Ins and Outs of Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport (CHA)
Flying directly into Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport (1001 Airport Rd, Chattanooga, TN 37421), locally known as Lovell Field, is the most convenient option for groups visiting the area. While smaller than international hubs, CHA offers a user-friendly experience that we enhance with our premium curbside service. When you book a charter bus rental with us, you avoid the hassle of coordinating multiple taxis or waiting for hotel shuttles that run on fixed loops. Your private driver will monitor your flight status to ensure they are staged and ready when your group lands. For arrivals, we coordinate pickup at the designated commercial vehicle loading zones located just outside the baggage claim area on the lower level. This allows your group to grab their bags and step immediately onto a climate-controlled bus without hauling luggage across the parking lots.
For departures, the drivers will drop your group off right at the terminal curb, giving you plenty of time to check in and get through security without the stress of rushing. We understand the layout of Lovell Field intimately, from the main terminal to the general aviation areas. Whether you are bringing a sports team to a tournament at Camp Jordan or a corporate group to a convention at the Chattanooga Convention Center, starting your trip at CHA with Charter Bus Rental Company Chattanooga sets the tone for a successful visit. We handle the traffic on Airport Road and Lee Highway so you can focus on the journey ahead.
Stress-Free Transfers to Hartsfield-Jackson and Nashville International
It is very common for groups traveling to Chattanooga to fly into larger regional hubs to secure better flight options or direct connections. Charter Bus Rental Company Chattanooga frequently provides long-distance airport transfer shuttles to and from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (6000 N Terminal Pkwy, Atlanta, GA 30320) and Nashville International Airport (1 Terminal Dr, Nashville, TN 37214). The drive from Atlanta to Chattanooga along I-75 takes approximately two hours, while the trip from Nashville via I-24 is roughly the same. However, navigating these interstates—especially the traffic around the I-75/I-285 interchange in Atlanta or the congestion near Murfreesboro Road in Nashville—can be exhausting after a long flight.
Let us handle the driving. When you rent a charter bus for these longer transfers, your group can relax in reclining seats, use onboard WiFi to catch up on emails, or simply nap in a quiet, air-conditioned cabin. We track flights to account for delays, ensuring your driver is waiting at the appropriate ground transportation center whether you land at ATL or BNA. There is no need to split your group into five different rental cars and hope everyone arrives in Chattanooga at the same time. With a private charter bus, the vacation or business trip begins the moment you leave the airport terminal, turning a boring two-hour drive into a comfortable group bonding experience.
Corporate Airport Shuttles for Chattanooga Professionals
Chattanooga is a booming hub for business, home to major operations like the Volkswagen Chattanooga Assembly Plant and Unum Group. For corporate clients, time is money, and efficiency is paramount. Charter Bus Rental Company Chattanooga offers executive-level airport transportation designed to impress clients and keep employees productive. We can arrange a sleek sprinter van for a board of directors flying into Wilson Air Center (932 Jubilee Dr, Chattanooga, TN 37421) or a full-sized motorcoach for a company-wide retreat arriving at the main terminal. Our corporate shuttles are punctual, professional, and equipped with amenities like power outlets and tray tables, allowing your team to prep for meetings or debrief after a conference while on the road.
We can also establish recurring shuttle routes for businesses with frequent travelers. If you have teams rotating in and out of the city for training at the Enterprise South Industrial Park, we can set up a consistent schedule between the airport and local hotels or corporate housing. Our reservation agents work with you to ensure every detail, from flight tracking to meet-and-greet protocols, is handled with the utmost professionalism. Your driver will be familiar with the best routes to Downtown Chattanooga, the North Shore, and the Hamilton Place business district to ensure you are never late for a meeting.
Handling Luggage and Group Logistics with Ease
One of the biggest challenges of group air travel is managing luggage. If you are traveling with a sports team carrying equipment bags, a school band with instruments, or a wedding party with formal wear, standard rideshares simply won't cut it. Charter Bus Rental Company Chattanooga eliminates this stress with vehicles designed for heavy cargo. Our full-size 56-passenger charter buses feature spacious undercarriage storage bays that can easily accommodate suitcases, duffel bags, and equipment for every passenger on board. Overhead parcel racks inside the cabin provide convenient space for carry-ons, backpacks, and personal items, keeping the aisle clear and your legroom unobstructed.
When you book with us, let our reservation team know about your specific luggage needs. If you are a golf group heading to The Honors Course or a cycling club bringing bikes for the Ironman Chattanooga, we will ensure you are matched with a bus that has the necessary capacity. Your driver will assist with loading and unloading the luggage bays at the curbside, saving your group from the physical strain. This logistical support is invaluable for groups like senior tours or student trips, ensuring that everyone and everything arrives at the hotel or venue together, intact, and ready to go.
Amenities to Relax After Your Flight
After a cramped flight and the hustle of navigating airport security, the last thing your group wants is an uncomfortable ride to their destination. That is why Charter Bus Rental Company Chattanooga prioritizes comfort. Our modern fleet offers amenities that turn the transfer into a relaxing break. Stretch out in plush, reclining seats with ample legroom—a luxury you likely didn't have on the plane. Request a bus with WiFi and power outlets so your group can recharge their devices and check in with family or work immediately. For longer transfers from Atlanta or Nashville, onboard restrooms are a game-changer, minimizing the need for pit stops and getting you to Chattanooga faster.
Climate control is also essential, especially during the humid Tennessee summers. Step out of the heat and into a cool, refreshing bus cabin. You can also request buses with flat-screen TVs and DVD players to keep children entertained or to play corporate presentation materials during the drive. We believe the ride from the airport should be a seamless extension of your hospitality. Whether you are heading to the Read House Hotel (827 Broad St, Chattanooga, TN 37402) or the Chattanooga Choo Choo (1400 Market St, Chattanooga, TN 37402), the journey will be as enjoyable as the destination.
Private Aviation and FBO Transfers at Lovell Field
For groups utilizing private aviation, Charter Bus Rental Company Chattanooga offers discreet and efficient transfer services directly on the tarmac or at Fixed Base Operators (FBOs). Lovell Field is home to excellent FBOs like Wilson Air Center, which caters to private charters and corporate jets. We understand that private aviation demands a higher level of service and precision. Your driver will arrive early, coordinate with FBO staff for tarmac access if permitted, and be ready to load luggage the moment the aircraft engines shut down. We frequently provide high-end minibus rentals and sprinter vans for executive teams, entertainment acts performing at the Tivoli Theatre, and VIP wedding guests arriving via private jet.
This service allows your VIPs to bypass the main terminal entirely, maintaining privacy and saving valuable time. From the FBO, we can whisk your group away to luxury accommodations like The Edwin Hotel near the Walnut Street Bridge or private estates on Lookout Mountain. The drivers understand the importance of discretion and white-glove service. When you book private aviation transfers with us, you are ensuring a seamless, high-end experience from the runway to the final destination.
Connecting Chattanooga to the Region
Your airport transfer is often just the first leg of your journey. Charter Bus Rental Company Chattanooga is your partner for the entire trip. Once we pick you up from the airport, we can serve as your dedicated transportation throughout your stay. We can take your group on tours of Ruby Falls (1720 Scenic Hwy, Chattanooga, TN 37409), the Tennessee Aquarium (1 Broad St, Chattanooga, TN 37402), or Rock City Gardens. If your itinerary involves day trips to Ocoee for rafting or Lynchburg for a distillery tour, the same bus that picked you up from the airport can take you there.
This continuity of service simplifies your logistics immensely. You don't have to worry about booking different providers for different days. You can keep your belongings securely on the bus while you explore, and you have the flexibility to adjust your schedule as needed. We serve the entire region, including Cleveland, Dalton, GA, and Soddy-Daisy. By consolidating your airport transfer and local transportation with Charter Bus Rental Company Chattanooga, you ensure a cohesive, stress-free travel experience for your entire group.

Frequently Asked Questions About Chattanooga Airport Transportation
How far in advance should I book my airport charter bus?
We generally recommend booking your airport charter bus as soon as you have your flight details confirmed. Ideally, you should aim to book at least 3 to 6 months in advance, especially if you are traveling during peak seasons like spring break, summer, or major holidays. However, because we have access to a large fleet, we can often accommodate last-minute requests. The earlier you book, the better selection of vehicles you will have, ensuring you get the perfect amenities for your group.
What happens if our flight is delayed?
We understand that air travel can be unpredictable. When you book with Charter Bus Rental Company Chattanooga, we ask for your flight information so our dispatch team can monitor your arrival time. If your flight is delayed, we will adjust the driver's schedule accordingly to ensure they are there when you land. We include a grace period in our airport transfer packages to account for standard delays in baggage claim or deplaning. Communication is key, so we encourage you to call our 24/7 support line if you become aware of significant changes to your itinerary.
How much luggage can we bring on the bus?
The luggage capacity depends on the type of vehicle you rent. A full-size 56-passenger charter bus offers the most storage, with huge undercarriage bays capable of holding a large suitcase and a carry-on for every passenger. Minibuses (typically 18- 35 passengers ) have more limited storage, usually offering overhead racks for small bags and sometimes a rear luggage compartment. If your group is heavy on luggage—such as a band with instruments or a sports team with gear—please let our reservation specialist know when you call 423-289-4700 so we can recommend the right bus size to accommodate everything comfortably.
Do you provide service to airports other than CHA?
Yes, absolutely! While we love our local Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport, we frequently provide long-distance airport transfers to larger regional hubs. We regularly shuttle groups to and from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL), Nashville International Airport (BNA), and McGhee Tyson Airport (TYS) in Knoxville. Traveling to these larger airports often allows groups to find direct flights or cheaper fares, and our comfortable charter buses make the 2-hour drive a breeze. We can handle the logistics of interstate travel to ensure you make your flight on time.
Is alcohol allowed on the airport shuttle bus?
In most cases, yes, alcohol is permitted on our charter buses, provided that all passengers are of legal drinking age (21+). This can be a great way to kick off a bachelor/bachelorette party or a corporate retreat. However, you must notify us in advance if you plan to have alcohol on board so we can ensure you are paired with a provider that allows it. Please note that a refundable cleaning deposit may be required. Glass bottles are generally discouraged for safety reasons. Always check with your reservation specialist regarding the specific policies for your rental.
