Straight answers to common questions

The fastest way is to call dispatch at 843-819-0846. For rides more than 24 hours out, you can also book online or submit a ride request and we will confirm the details with you.

If you need a ride soon — within the next 24 hours — call dispatch so we can confirm availability right away. If you are planning ahead, online booking or a ride request works well.

Dispatch is open daily from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Prearranged rides are performed outside those hours too — see the after-hours questions below.

Dispatch is not open 24/7. Dispatch hours are 6:00 a.m.–9:00 p.m. daily. Green Taxi does perform confirmed, prearranged rides outside those hours, including early-morning and late-night airport transportation.

Yes. Early-morning airport rides are performed regularly, but they must be arranged and confirmed in advance. After-hours rates may differ — confirm details with dispatch when you book.

Late-night airport pickups may be available by advance arrangement and confirmation. Provide accurate flight details and contact dispatch during operating hours (6:00 a.m.–9:00 p.m.) to plan the ride.

A separate rate system applies to rides scheduled outside regular dispatch hours. Contact dispatch during operating hours for current details and confirmation before the ride.
