✈ Returning to Charlottesville? We pick up from all airports too — same flat rate, both directions
Charlottesville is known for University of Virginia, Monticello, the Downtown Mall, UVA Health System, and Virginia wine country. Charlottesville has its own regional airport — Charlottesville Albemarle (CHO) — but with limited nonstop routes, UVA faculty, medical staff, researchers and students frequently choose Richmond International or Dulles for more connection options. John provides flat rate rides from Charlottesville to all three airports so you can pick the best route for your destination.
While Charlottesville has reasonable Uber coverage near UVA, early morning departures and late night arrivals see significant surge pricing and availability problems. For a 6 AM flight from RIC, Charlottesville residents need to leave by 4:30 AM — exactly when Uber is least reliable.
UVA Medical Center generates significant medical travel — patients from across Central Virginia traveling to Charlottesville for specialized care.
