Shuttle Service ANC provides free shuttle service between the North Terminal, South Terminal, and the Rental Car Lot. These shuttles leave every 15 minutes, so getting a ride should not be a problem. Many hotels around the airport offer free shuttle service to and from their places of business. When making a reservation you should take this into consideration, because using this service will save you time and money. Door-to-door shuttle service is readily available through companies such as: Eagle River Shuttle, Shuttle Man, Talkeetna, etc. Most of these companies operate 24/7, but they do ask that you make reservations in advance. Bus ANC’s People Mover is probably the cheapest way to get around. This public bus transportation service charges a fee of $1.75 for a one-way adult ticket, Youth (5-18) only pay $1.00, and senior citizens and persons with disability pay a subsidized fee of $0.50. In addition you may buy a day, monthly, or annual pass. The amount of luggage you are allowed to carry with you onto the People Mover is limited to whatever you can hold under your seat; so this service is best for persons who are traveling light.

If you are in the North Terminal get on one of the free shuttle buses and you will be transported there. At the Rental Car Center you will find eight rental companies: Alamo, Avis, Budget, Dollar, Enterprise, Hertz, National, and Thrifty. Limousine & Executive Car There are many limousine companies available to you, locate them by using the yellow pages or doing a quick internet search. Most companies ask that you make reservations in advance; this will insure that you do not have to wait around for them to arrive once your plane has landed. Taxi Cab Taxi service is provided by Checker Cab and Yellow Cab; you can expect to pay $15 -$25 dollars for a ride from the airport to the downtown area. Waiting areas for the taxis are located outside the terminals. 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.
