Thanksgiving Week · Nov 25–29, 2026 · Savannah / Hilton Head International (SAV)
Flying in for Thanksgiving? Book your ride before you land.
I’m Gary “Chris” Lamb, owner of Live Oak Airport Taxi. Thanksgiving week is the busiest travel week of the year. Book your rides to and from Savannah / Hilton Head International (SAV) now, and they are one thing you do not have to think about again — fixed fare, flight tracked, and I’m waiting when you land.
Your rides for Thanksgiving week
Here is how the week runs. Wednesday, November 25 is the busiest driving day of the week — everybody flies in at once. Thanksgiving Day is Thursday, November 26. And Sunday, November 29 is the busiest flying day of the year, when everybody heads back to the airport at the same time.
Book both rides now — your pickup when you land, and your ride back to the airport — and they are locked in before you ever leave home. I track your flight, so if your plane runs late, your ride does not disappear.
Paying is your choice. Pay online when you book, or pick Pay Your Driver in the form and pay me in the car — same fixed fare either way. The price you see is the price you pay. No surge pricing, no meter running.
Every vehicle takes up to 4 passengers. Live Oak runs standard passenger cars — no shuttle vans or buses — so your family rides together in one car.
Fixed fares from the airport
These are the flat fares between SAV Airport and each area, for 1–2 passengers in one vehicle. Three or four passengers cost a little more — the booking form shows your exact fare before you book. Every fare works both ways: airport pickup or airport drop-off.
