The information below is needed to request and use the airport
pickup service. Please have it at hand when making requests,
and TAKE IT WITH YOU WHEN YOU TRAVEL TO THE CENTER
The Center does not provide this service. It is only
a communication link.
Request service AT LEAST 48 hours in advance
by phone call to the Gateway office, 843-272-5777, 9
a.m. - 5 p.m. EST, seven days a week. Or if making
request by e-mail (to gateway@mehercenter.org), AT
LEAST 72 hours in advance.
Provide the following information:
a. Name of airline
b. Flight number
c. City flight originates from, and last stopover location if not a direct flight
d. Date and arrival time of the flight at Myrtle Beach International Airport
e. Brief description of yourself (height, build, age,
hair color & length, etc.)
$43 (paid directly to the driver, not to the
Center) provides for pickup at the airport, taking you
for groceries, registration at the Center Gateway office,
and bringing you to your cabin and kitchen. Depending
on gas prices in the future, a surcharge may need to
be added. Fees for multiple people, or extended or multiple
grocery stops, are negotiated with your driver. Please
be aware that drivers will not be able to help with
luggage.
Once you request the service, you are still responsible
for paying the driver, even if you later change your
mind and cancel your ride, since the driver has
already arranged his/her schedule to meet your request.
Exceptions: you promptly report to the
Gateway (843-272-5777) a delay or cancellation of your
flight, or cancellation of your Center retreat, or give
at least a 5 days notice of not needing the ride.
You must pay your scheduled driver $20 if you cancel
with less than 5 days notice.
The driver will meet you in the baggage claim section
of the airport. If you can’t locate the driver,
call the Gateway (272-5777). The driver may need to
be paged or may have been delayed. If no driver is available
and you need to take a taxi, Meher Spiritual Center
is located across from the Colonial Mall at 10200 N.
Kings Hwy. in Myrtle Beach.
Requests to return to the airport ($30) are
not accepted until after you arrive at the Center, unless
you will be at the Center less than 48 hours. The driver
bringing you in may be able to take you back, if arranged
on arrival at the Center Gateway office. If you wait,
a driver can be requested, but the ride coordinator
decides assignments.
Bus Station Pickup
A ride can also be arranged from the Myrtle Beach Greyhound
bus station. The only differences from the airport information
above is that the cost is $40 and the information
you need to provide is:
a. Date and arrival time of the bus
b. Where bus is coming from
c. Brief description of yourself (height, build, age,
hair color & length, etc.)
