University City Black Car Service

Black Car Service drives University City residents, Washington University families and Delmar Loop visitors to Lambert Airport and across St. Louis, with pickups timed to your flight or your show.

Airport Transfers

University City to Lambert Airport

Lambert Airport (STL) is about 7 to 9 miles from University City, depending on whether you start north of Olive Boulevard or down on the Delmar Loop. The usual route runs up North Hanley Road or I-170 to I-70, and the drive often takes 15 to 25 minutes, more at rush hour. Black Car Service times the pickup to your flight and tracks arrivals, so the chauffeur is waiting when you land.

The fleet includes Cadillac Escalade ESV, Chevrolet Suburban Premier, Cadillac XT6, Cadillac Lyriq, Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. Choose a midsize Cadillac for a quiet solo transfer, a full-size SUV when luggage matters, or the Sprinter when the group should stay together.

Terminals, pickup spots and how flight tracking works are on our St. Louis airport car service page.

Built for University City Trips That Need to Run on Time

Black Car Service provides chauffeured rides from University City, Missouri to Lambert Airport, the Delmar Loop and events across St. Louis. Most of the Loop's attractions sit in University City, including Blueberry Hill and the Tivoli Theatre, while its eastern end reaches into the City of St. Louis. Chauffeurs pick up from homes in the Parkview Gardens area, along Olive Boulevard and North Hanley Road, and near Heman Park. Washington University is next door, so airport rides at the start and end of each term are a common need.

Airport transfers

Airport rides from University City include a confirmed pickup time, flight tracking on arrivals, luggage help, and a vehicle sized to the group. A student heading home with a term's worth of bags fits well in the Escalade ESV or Suburban Premier.

Corporate travel

Visiting faculty, researchers and business guests can be met at STL and driven to Washington University, Clayton or downtown St. Louis, with the same chauffeur waiting between appointments.

Weddings and events

The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter seats up to 14 for wedding parties, reunions and group nights out, from dinner on the Delmar Loop to a summer show at The Muny in Forest Park.

Hourly service

Hourly booking keeps one chauffeur and one vehicle with you, which helps on a night with dinner on Delmar, a concert in the Duck Room at Blueberry Hill and a late ride home.

Booking Notes

Practical Details Before You Reserve

The Loop Trolley runs seasonally between the Delmar Loop and Forest Park, so year round and late night trips are easier with a chauffeur.

Delmar Boulevard is busy on weekend evenings, so pickups after dinner or a show use a meeting point confirmed with your chauffeur.

Washington University move-in and commencement weekends fill up early, so book airport rides ahead.
