A direct private ride between Atlanta and Athens

The drive between Atlanta and Athens is the core of what Apex Luxury Transportation does. Apex provides private, direct rides between the two cities, from Hartsfield-Jackson Airport, hotels and offices in Atlanta to the University of Georgia and the rest of Athens, point to point or by the hour, in a luxury SUV with a professional chauffeur.

How far is Athens from Atlanta?

Athens is roughly 70 miles northeast of Atlanta. The usual route follows I-85 out of the city and then GA-316 east into Athens, and the time it takes depends heavily on traffic and the hour, especially leaving Atlanta at rush hour or on a UGA home-game Saturday. Your chauffeur chooses the route on the day based on conditions.

Can you get a private car from Atlanta airport to Athens?

Yes. Apex provides private rides from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) to Athens, including the University of Georgia. Airport pickups are flight-aware and meet-and-greet service is available at the airport. Share your airline, flight number and terminal when you reserve: ATL has a Domestic Terminal, with North and South sides, and the Maynard H. Jackson Jr. International Terminal, and they are reached by different roads.

Who uses the Atlanta-Athens service?

Mostly travelers for whom the two cities are one trip:

• Travelers flying into ATL whose final destination is Athens.
• Visitors to the University of Georgia and guests attending campus events.
• Business travelers moving between offices in both cities, often returning the same day.
• Guests traveling to weddings and private events in Athens.
• Families heading to Athens for game weekends and graduation.

Where in Athens and Atlanta does the service go?

On the Athens end: the University of Georgia campus, downtown Athens and its hotels, and addresses around the city. On the Atlanta end: Hartsfield-Jackson, hotels and offices in Downtown and Midtown, and addresses across Metro Atlanta. The service area is Atlanta, Athens and the corridor between them.

Point to point or by the hour?

Both are available on the corridor. A direct transfer suits a single trip, such as an arrival at ATL that ends in Athens. Hourly service suits a day with stops along the way or a return the same day, because the same vehicle and chauffeur stay with you between stops instead of being rebooked at each one.

Which vehicle fits the trip?

Choose by passengers first and luggage second. The fleet is full-size luxury SUVs:

• Cadillac Escalade Premium Luxury Platinum 2023-2024: up to 6 passengers.
• GMC Yukon XL Denali Ultimate 2023-2024: up to 7 passengers, with the most room for luggage.
• Lincoln Navigator Black Label L 2024: up to 6 passengers, with extended space.

What should you tell the concierge?

Enough for the trip to be confirmed in one exchange:

• Pickup address and destination, plus any stops along the way.
• Date and time, and whether you need a return the same day.
• Airline, flight number and terminal for airport trips.
• Number of passengers and bags, and the vehicle class you prefer.
• A mobile number for trip updates by text.

What is the ride like, and how do you book?

Settle in, prepare for a meeting or simply enjoy a quiet ride: the cabin is private to your party and the vehicle is cleaned and prepared before every reservation, with trip updates by text from booking through final drop-off.
