Which roads connect Garner with RDU
Most rides leave Garner on US 70 (Goldsboro Highway) or NC 50 and head north to I-40. From there the driver goes west on I-40 along the south side of Raleigh, past the Tryon Road area, and leaves the interstate for the airport roads, with John Brantley Boulevard leading in toward the terminals. The fastest route carries no toll.
Weekday commute hours are what slow this trip. I-40 through south Raleigh fills in the morning and again in the late afternoon, and the ramps near the interchanges back up first. For that reason the pickup time on a departure adds a 15 minute traffic allowance to the measured 30 minutes, before the curb margin you choose.

Pickups at Garner homes, apartments and offices
Requests from Garner come from houses on quiet residential streets, apartment and townhome communities, office and light industrial parks along the main roads, and hotels near the highway exits.

- a gate code, or where a visitor can stop inside the complex
- the number of riders, checked bags and carry-ons
- the age and weight of each child, and whether you bring a seat

Landing at RDU and riding home to Garner
Give us the flight number when reserving. The car company follows the real landing time, and the 45 included minutes of waiting count from that moment. While you are in the air, the car waits in the commercial vehicle lot a few minutes away from the terminals.
Collect your bags, then text or call the driver. You meet at the car in the pickup zone outside baggage claim: Zone 1 at Terminal 1, Zone 8 at Terminal 2. The ride back runs the same roads in reverse, east on I-40 and south into Garner, and ends at your door.
