Route north from Apex to Terminal 2
From the middle of Apex the driver heads up North Salem Street and joins Davis Drive north toward Morrisville. McCrimmon Parkway carries the car east to Airport Boulevard, and John Brantley Boulevard brings it into the terminal roads. The fastest route has no toll.
Davis Drive is a commuter road, and weekday mornings and late afternoons bring slower stretches near the office parks around Research Triangle Park. The pickup times below add a 15 minute traffic allowance to the measured 26 minutes.

Landing at RDU and riding home
On an arrival the car company follows your flight number, so the included 45 minutes of waiting start from the real landing time. While you are in the air the car waits in the commercial vehicle lot a few minutes from the terminals. Once your bags are in hand, text or call the driver, who meets you at the car in the pickup zone outside baggage claim: Zone 1 at Terminal 1, Zone 8 at Terminal 2.
The ride home runs the same roads in reverse, and the driver helps with your bags at the car.
