Chauffeurservicestlouis.com arranges private sedan and SUV service to MidAmerica St. Louis Airport through vetted local affiliate operators. MidAmerica, with the code BLV, sits in Mascoutah, Illinois, about 27 miles east of Downtown St. Louis. The airport shares its runways with Scott Air Force Base and is served primarily by Allegiant Air. Our Downtown-to-BLV sedan rate starts at $145. Because BLV is across the river, rides cost more than Lambert pickups and take longer during rush hour on I-64 and the Mississippi River bridges. Corporate travelers use BLV for Allegiant nonstop routes and lower fares, but schedules are limited compared to STL. We recommend booking at least 24 hours ahead because affiliate coverage is thinner on the Illinois side late at night.
Pickup procedure at BLV
Your chauffeur meets you outside the single-terminal baggage claim after you collect luggage and call. MidAmerica has one small commercial terminal with one baggage belt. After deplaning, walk to baggage claim, retrieve your bag, then call or text the driver. The vehicle will pull to the curb in front of the terminal. The terminal has limited covered waiting space, so we ask that you call only when you are ready to exit. We track Allegiant flight status and adjust for delays. For departures, we drop you at the commercial terminal entrance. Allow 2.5 hours before domestic flights, since security lines can back up on peak Allegiant days.
Drive times and fares from St. Louis neighborhoods to BLV
Sedan service to MidAmerica starts at $145 from Downtown and ranges up to $185 from Chesterfield. Afternoon westbound traffic on I-64 and bridge approaches near the Poplar Street Bridge can add time.
| Neighborhood | Typical drive time to BLV | Sedan from |
|---|---|---|
| Downtown St. Louis | 35-45 min | $145 |
| The Hill | 40-50 min | $150 |
| Soulard | 38-48 min | $150 |
| Central West End | 40-50 min | $155 |
| Clayton | 45-55 min | $160 |
| Kirkwood | 50-60 min | $170 |
| Chesterfield | 55-70 min | $185 |
From Downtown, the route uses I-64 east across the Mississippi River. From Chesterfield and Kirkwood, drivers often take I-270 south to I-255 east, then I-64 west into the airport. From Clayton, the drive usually follows I-170 south to I-64 east.
Honest limitations
BLV has far fewer daily flights than STL and no rail or hotel shuttle link to Missouri. If your Allegiant flight arrives late at night, last-minute bookings may require extra lead time to secure a local affiliate. River bridge traffic and construction on I-64 can extend drive times beyond our estimates. We do not operate our own vehicles in St. Louis; service is arranged through independent local operators.
