Shuttle Service Door-to-door shuttle service is made available through companies like Airport Shuttle Services, and Airport Taxi. It is a good idea to use this service if you are a local resident, because you can leave you car at home; which means you will not have to pay extended parking fees. It is very common for hotels near major airport to offer free shuttle to and from their locations. Call your hotel in advance and find out if they offer this service; this will save you time and money. Bus Public bus transportation is provided by NFTA-Metro; this service is usually the cheapest way to travel in and around the city.

Tips Whenever you are traveling it is better to make reservations in advance; it saves time and money. Check online as well as phoning the companies, because many deals/specials can only be found online. Also ask if your hotel is partnered with any specific rental companies, as hotel and car bundles work out to be cheaper for the most part. Remember to only ride with authorized drivers; ask to see their airport identification badge and check the vehicle to make sure it is authorized with the airport decal one the bumper.
