_Time_: During peak tourist waves like spring weekends, check-in lines can back up past queue ropes. Security usually moves fast outside of these peaks, but budget extra time just in case. - _Money_: The Economy Red and Blue Lots offer better value at $7/day and are worth considering over the more expensive garages during busy times. - _Avoid_: Avoid the rideshare pickup zone congestion by requesting your Uber or Lyft pickup further down at the rental car area curb. - _Local_: Leopold's Ice Cream airside is a must-try if you missed visiting their flagship store downtown—it’s a sweet piece of Savannah right before you board. - _Quiet_: The Stella Bar near the main gate area is a pleasantly calm spot for a cocktail, away from the hustle of larger chain bars in the concourse. - _Insider_: Send one person to the car rental counter while another waits for bags—this can save you time during busy arrivals. - _Time_: Check weekend traffic on I-95 if heading to Hilton Head post-flight; peak beach times can extend drives significantly. ## Travellers notes mentioning SAV - [Jacksonville vs Savannah vs Charleston Airports: Which Is Actually Easiest Door‑to‑Gate?](https://airport.flights/notes/jax-how-jacksonville-savannah) — by Bridget Halsey, 2026-07-08 For travelers choosing between Jacksonville International, Savannah/Hilton Head, and Charleston International, the real difference is door‑to‑gate effort, not food courts and branding. - [Jacksonville vs Savannah vs Charleston Airports: Beach Trips, Parking, and First-Hour Stress](https://airport.flights/notes/jax-jacksonville-vs-savannah-vs) — by Theresa Doan, 2026-07-07 Jacksonville, Savannah, or Charleston for Amelia Island, Hilton Head, Tybee, Folly, or Kiawah?
