Jacksonville covers more ground than almost any city in the country, and the trip you need is rarely a short one. Sunshine Luxury Transport gives you a private car and a local chauffeur for the drives that define this city: Downtown to the Beaches, the Southside to the airport, a morning at Mayo Clinic, a night at the stadium, or a run out to Mayport.

Jacksonville is the largest city by land area in the continental United States. Offices, hotels, beaches, the airport, and major medical and business destinations are spread across a wide geographic area, so a day with meetings or stops across Jacksonville can quickly involve dozens of miles of driving.
The St. Johns River runs through the middle of it all, so most trips cross at least one bridge. A local chauffeur knows which crossing moves fastest at rush hour and on event nights.
Estimates between common Jacksonville destinations, not service promises.

Weekday rush hours, bridge work, and game days can add 15 to 30 minutes. Your chauffeur plans the route around them.
Each part of the city calls for a different kind of ride. Here are the rides each one tends to call for.
Office towers, the courthouse, hotels along the Riverwalk, and the city’s main stage venues.
VyStar Arena, Florida Theatre, Riverwalk
Client meetings, show nights, hotel transfers
Riverfront hotels and offices on one side, San Marco Square’s restaurants and shops just behind them.
Southbank Riverwalk, San Marco Square
Tree-lined streets, Five Points nightlife, and the boutiques and dining of the Shoppes of Avondale.
Nights out, brunch, home pickups
The Deerwood and Baymeadows office corridors, St. Johns Town Center, and many of the city’s newer hotels.
Workday transport, airport runs, shopping trips
Arrivals, cruise departures, trips north
These are the trips Jacksonville travelers book, and each one calls for its own kind of planning.
Patients and families travel from across the country for care at Mayo Clinic’s Florida campus. We drive between hotels, the airport, and appointments, so no one has to manage a rental car or the campus garages on a stressful day. Rides can be scheduled around multi-day visits.
EverBank Stadium, VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena, and Daily’s Place draw tens of thousands of people into the same few blocks. A pre-set pickup point and time gets your group out after the final whistle or encore. See our guide to concert rides to Daily’s Place and VyStar Arena.
Banking, insurance, healthcare, and logistics firms are spread from Downtown to Deerwood. A chauffeur keeps a visiting executive on schedule between offices that can be 20 minutes apart. Planning a visit? Read our executive’s guide to visiting Jacksonville for business, or see corporate transportation in Jacksonville.
Ride from your home or hotel to the terminal with your luggage, and skip a week of port parking. Our guide to cruise port transportation covers Jacksonville and Port Canaveral.
Tee times at TPC Sawgrass, tournament week at THE PLAYERS, and oceanfront dinners are a big part of travel on the coast, and the SUV has room for golf bags.

All of Duval County, including Downtown, the Southbank, San Marco, Riverside, Avondale, the Southside, the Beaches, Mayport, and the Northside, plus Ponte Vedra, Nocatee, Orange Park, Fleming Island, and Amelia Island.
Yes. We drive patients and family members between the airport, hotels, and Mayo Clinic’s Jacksonville campus, including return trips scheduled around appointments. Sunshine Luxury Transport provides private transportation, not medical transport.
Yes. We drive service members, families, and guests to and from both bases. Let us know who is riding when you book so the trip can be planned around the base’s entry requirements.
Your vehicle and chauffeur are arranged in advance rather than matched on demand, so availability does not depend on who happens to be nearby, which matters in a city this spread out and after big events. Our comparison of black car service vs. Uber Black vs. a limo goes deeper.
Yes. For multi-stop days across Jacksonville, book an hourly private driver in Jacksonville so the same vehicle and chauffeur stay with you between stops.
Yes. We provide prearranged pickups and drop-offs at Jacksonville International Airport. See our Jacksonville airport transfer service for how JAX pickups work.
Jaguars home games, big concerts at VyStar Arena and Daily’s Place, THE PLAYERS week in Ponte Vedra, and holiday weekends are the busiest dates for car service in the area. Reserve as soon as you have tickets or a tee time. Same-day requests depend on availability.
Yes. The same family-owned team serves both cities. For rides based in the historic city, see our St. Augustine chauffeur service.
Tell us where you are starting, where you need to be, and when, and we will plan the route across the city.
