 Hey Taxi! by nomorewars Checkered Yellow Cab service is probably the best taxi service in the city of Columbia. During the New Year festivities, they provide a free taxi service for all the partygoers. The company is respected a great deal in the city, & their personnel are fluent in many languages-like Spanish, German, French, Arabic, Ahmaric, etc. Like the vast majority of the people that you will encounter in Columbia, the taxi drivers (at least in my experiences) are extremely friendly, helpful, & honest. When I arrived in Columbia for the first time, I took a taxi from the airport to Fort Jackson, which at the time cost well over USD $50. Upon learning my status as a soldier, the driver refused to charge me for the ride. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherPhone: (803) 799-3311

There is a nice looking airport, but only one major airline (Delta) flys there itself. The other airlines contract commuter airlines (many of them who fly the small jets) because there isn't enough commerce to support the big jets. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

In Columbia, Interstates I-77, I-26, and I-20 all meet up. Columbia is pretty much the "hub" of the southeastern states. From here you have direct access to Charlotte, Charleston, Florence, Augusta, and Atlanta, and almost direct access to Savannah. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

Once you get to Columbia, rent a car and get a map! This town is spread wide across many miles. If you stay by the airport you won't see much, if you stay downtown you will miss a lot. Many people stay downtown and only see the vista area. Check out the local guides and don' be afraid to drive. It's easy to get around and easy to get directions. We don't have big amusement parks or large attractions but you can find a lot of shopping and eating and friendly people. Theme: Other

Columbia Charlotte Shuttle is becoming increasingly popular. It's a van service that will pick you up at your house and bring you straight to the Charlotte Airport. It only costs $49 per person, each way. Kids are half price. With the price of gas, this service makes it much easier to get between Columbia and CLT. www.columbiacharlotteshuttle.com Greyhound is another inexpensive option to get to CLT. It takes a little while to get there, but if the timing works out, it is very reasonably priced. Leave a Comment
