KSAV
 
I am going to spend the weekend in Savannah GA in a couple of weeks. Does anyone have any experience with FBO's on the field? Maybe hanger space? I see they have signature aviation there. I try and avoid the they seem to be higher on their prices .

Use Sheltair. Great service? not sure about hangar.

Call 'em both up and ask them what their rates are. See what you can negotiate.

When I go somewhere, I always call the FBOs and ask for rates, discounts, etc. That's the way to get factual information.

GREAT advice.

FWIW: The last time I went to KSAV (years ago) Signature was the only FBO there. They charged me a $50.00 "facility fee" since I walked from the ramp to the street and back, a total of about 15 minutes on the ground there. I swore never to return and I haven't. I hope it has changed.

:cool:

Was there a few months back. Sheltair was great! No fee with purchase of fuel when I was there.

Sheltair told me $30 a night when we flew in to stay a few nights. Went to leave and the lady said no charge, just come see us again. I was pleasantly surprised

Using the phrase "top off" seems to help with negotiations even if the amount is only a few gallons.

Be happy and enjoy your stay in Savannah.

Lots of GA around not much at KSAV due to $$$$$$. If I were you, I will pland to arrive at KLHW or 3J1. Dont let FBO's ruin your stay! They will w their exorbitant charges!

Another vote for KLHW, where Mitch, I and a few other RV'ers are located. Enterprise rental nearby and much better fuel prices than KSAV or 3J1.

Hangar space is often available for free with fuel purchase.

I have used Sheltair KSAV in the past and had a good experience. More expensive than a small airport but that is expected.
I have a business trip next month and will be there a couple of days myself.
Actually headed to KVDI but having to meet a group at the commercial terminal @ SAV so I will be using a Uber from Sheltair.
