Skip the NC-540 Toll Scramble and Ride Together to RDU
Planning an early morning departure from Apex to RDU means deciding between the NC-540 Triangle Expressway — the fastest route at roughly 20–25 minutes off-peak, though tolls are cashless and billed through NC Quick Pass, E-ZPass, or a mailed pay-by-plate invoice — and the non-toll US-64 East through Cary and Morrisville, which adds a few minutes but skips the toll entirely. Either way, coordinating five separate cars, five separate toll decisions, and five separate parking spots at RDU's economy lot (up to $14.50 per day) gets expensive and complicated fast. One charter bus or minibus from Apexcharterbuscompany.com puts your whole group on a single vehicle, handles the route, and drops everyone at the lower-level arrivals curb without anyone circling the terminal hunting for a space.
Compare your options in seconds and book the easy way!
On Time for Every Terminal — RDU Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 Pickups Handled
On a group airport run, the terminal your flight uses changes everything about where you meet your bus. At RDU, Terminal 2 handles American, Delta, United, JetBlue, Frontier, and all international arrivals, with baggage claim and commercial vehicle pickup on the lower arrivals level. Terminal 1 serves Southwest, Spirit, Alaska, and other domestic carriers — and if your group is arriving on an international flight through Terminal 2, build in an extra 45 to 60 minutes beyond your scheduled arrival for customs and immigration before everyone is ready at the curb.
The bus stages in RDU's commercial vehicle holding area off Airport Boulevard and pulls forward once your group coordinator calls to confirm the whole group is assembled, bags in hand, ready to board. Confirm your terminal with your airline before travel day so your pickup is staged at the right door from the start.
Waiting on a Rideshare for 15 People? There Is a Better Way
Waiting on five separate Uber rides to show up at RDU on a Friday afternoon — when surge pricing kicks in and the TNC pickup zones on the lower level are backed up — is one of the most avoidable headaches in group travel. RDU places rideshare pickups in designated TNC zones on the lower arrivals level, separate from commercial charter vehicle zones, and during peak departure windows those zones are busy. A single minibus or charter bus from the Apexcharterbuscompany.com network picks your entire group up together at one time, from one location in Apex, and delivers everyone to the terminal curb in one trip.
No surge pricing. No waiting on a second or third car to arrive. No splitting the group across apps.

If You're Flying Into RDU With a Group, Here's How to Make the Pickup Smooth
If you're coordinating an arrival pickup at RDU, the single most important rule is this: do not call for the bus until every member of your group has cleared baggage claim and is standing together at the lower-level arrivals curb, ready to board. RDU's curb management keeps commercial vehicles moving — the bus stages in the holding area off Airport Boulevard and pulls forward only when the group is assembled. Calling the bus while two people are still at the carousel means the vehicle has to loop back, which on a busy afternoon costs real time.
Designate one group coordinator to make the call, confirm your terminal in advance (Terminal 2 for American, Delta, United, JetBlue, Frontier, and all international flights; Terminal 1 for Southwest, Spirit, Alaska, and other domestic carriers), and the whole pickup runs in minutes. Find your Apex airport bus through Apexcharterbuscompany.com and build the pickup plan right into your booking!

Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU) (2400 W Terminal Blvd, Morrisville, NC 27560) is the closest airport to Apex, approximately 12 to 15 miles northeast via the NC-540 Triangle Expressway or US-64 East. Off-peak, the drive runs 20 to 25 minutes. During morning or afternoon peak commute windows — 7 to 9 am and 4 to 7 pm — add 15 to 25 minutes, especially near the I-40 and I-540 interchange approaching the terminal.
NC-540 East is the fastest route from Apex to RDU in most conditions — roughly 20 to 25 minutes off-peak. Keep in mind that NC-540 is a toll road with cashless mainline plazas billed via NC Quick Pass, E-ZPass, or a mailed pay-by-plate invoice. The non-toll alternative is US-64 East through Cary and Morrisville, which adds a few minutes but avoids the toll entirely.
Either route gets your group to the terminal; the bus handles whichever one makes sense for your departure time.
At Raleigh-Durham International Airport, commercial charter vehicle pickup and drop-off takes place on the lower level arrivals curb. Buses stage in the commercial vehicle holding area off Airport Boulevard and pull to the curb when the group coordinator confirms the whole group is assembled and ready to board. Confirm your specific terminal — Terminal 2 for American, Delta, United, JetBlue, Frontier, and international flights, Terminal 1 for Southwest, Spirit, Alaska, and other domestic carriers — so the bus is staged at the right door.
Check current details on the RDU ground transportation page before your travel date.
RDU's Economy 3 lot runs up to $14.50 per day, and Premier garage parking runs up to $34 per day. For a group of 15 people traveling in five cars for a week, economy parking alone runs about $500 — before gas or the coordination of getting five vehicles to the terminal and back. One charter bus or minibus from the Apexcharterbuscompany.com network replaces all of that with a single, predictable trip cost.
Compare parking options at RDU Airport parking.
For most Apex airport runs, booking two to four weeks out secures good availability and pricing. For peak travel windows — NC State graduation in May and December, summer travel season from June through August, and holiday weekends around Thanksgiving and Christmas — book four to six weeks or more in advance. The earlier you compare and book through Apexcharterbuscompany.com, the more vehicle options you will have at the best available pricing.
Call 984-386-2780 to hold your date!
Yes — multi-stop pickups are one of the most common airport setups booked through the network. A typical Apex run might loop from a neighborhood near Beaver Creek Commons on US-64, add a stop near downtown Apex on Salem Street, and then head northeast on NC-540 to RDU. Build in roughly 10 minutes per additional stop when planning your departure time, and list your stops in order when you fill out the quote form so the pricing reflects the full route.
