Your private Raleigh airport shuttle

Raleigh is the North Carolina state capital, despite being smaller and less well known than nearby Charlotte. The city is home to many great universities, namely North Carolina State and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. In fact, the number of technology and scholarly institutions around Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill have led to the area being coined as the Research Triangle. The Raleigh-Durham International Airport serves all of these locations and so does Blacklane. Book an RDU airport shuttle for a direct transfer to Raleigh’s most important sites, including the State Capitol building, Pullen Park (one the world’s oldest amusement parks), and the Juniper Level Botanic Garden.
