Anchorage Airport to Downtown

Visitors are often surprised to learn that the major hotels in downtown Anchorage don't offer shuttle service from the airport—and those same hotels are about six to seven miles from the airport. Here are your most reliable options:

• Alaska's Finest Tours & Adventures Airport & Railroad Depot Shuttle. If you're looking to get to and from the airport from your Anchorage hotel, they offer pre-scheduled, reliable transportation in comfortable vans.
• Rent a car. You can get them onsite at the airport, but you should only rent a car if you intend to make serious use of it—after all, if you're renting it for less than a week, rates typically start at about $100 a day. Also consider gas (these days, about $4.30 a gallon), and whether your hotel offers free or paid parking.
• Hail a cab or Uber/Lyft. Taxis are readily available and will cost $17 to $22 one way.
• Take the city Bus, People Mover. Please check the schedule and download the transit app for the most current information. If you have a lot of luggage, this may not be the most convenient option. But, it is certainly the least expensive
