RDU · Arrival pickup
For Raleigh-Durham International (RDU), we could not confirm an official published pickup point for outside pre-booked chauffeured cars that we can quote. The 24/7 Chauffyr desk texts you the permitted meeting point, the chauffeur's name and the vehicle plate once your flight is tracked as inbound.
Note · We never publish an assumption as if it were an authority citation; the meeting point always comes from the desk by text.
At RDU, a vetted local partner chauffeur drives your trip; Chauffyr's 24/7 desk books it, confirms it in writing and tracks the flight.

How chauffeur pickup at RDU works
Raleigh-Durham International Airport is run by the Raleigh-Durham Airport Authority in North Carolina, United States. Its ground transportation page groups pre-arranged cars with wider shuttle and charter options rather than naming a dedicated curb, so Chauffyr texts the permitted meeting point with your chauffeur's name and plate.
The authority bundles pre-arranged cars with shuttles and charters, so we do not name a curb it does not publish. The vehicle is held at the permitted meeting point for pre-booked cars, and a message describes where it is and its plate.
RDU has Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, and your airline decides which you use. The tracked flight tells the desk where to send the car.
The chauffeur waits at baggage claim with a name board and helps with bags. University families and biotech visitors who are new to the Triangle often book it.
Each arrival includes a grace period of 60 minutes after landing, and any time past it charged hourly in 15-minute increments. Thunderstorm delays are tracked live.
Research Triangle Park is right beside the airport, and rides also go to downtown Raleigh and the State Capitol, downtown Durham and Duke, Chapel Hill and UNC, and the Cary and Morrisville offices. Some visitors keep a private car service for campus tours.
Note your bag total in the reservation. A sedan takes two travellers, an SUV a family on move-in day, and an Executive Sprinter a delegation or wedding party.
RDU has general aviation services on the field. Give us your registration and FBO; an executive airport transfer is timed to your block-in.
Raleigh–Durham International sits between the two cities beside Research Triangle Park, so the same airport serves Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, Cary and Morrisville. Corporate travellers often head straight into the park's campuses, while university visitors go to North Carolina State in Raleigh, Duke in Durham or the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill. Downtown Raleigh, the convention centre and the government district around the State Capitol are a short way east, and downtown Durham's converted tobacco warehouses now hold offices, hotels and restaurants. Graduation, move-in and home-game weekends bring heavier traffic around each campus, so the desk plans extra time and your quote confirms timing. Longer runs reach Pinehurst for golf and the coast at Wilmington. Because the destinations sit in different directions from the airport, sharing the full address rather than just the city name lets the desk quote the correct distance and vehicle.
It depends on I-40 traffic; your quote confirms timing.
Each vehicle's full price appears on the quote before you commit, with a 20% gratuity added when you book.
Yes. Both are within our coverage and the quote covers the trip.
