Traveler Insights: Many travelers appreciate the convenience of the taxi services at ATL, particularly for their flat-rate pricing to popular destinations like Downtown, Midtown, and Buckhead. However, some reviews suggest that during peak hours, the wait times for taxis can be longer than expected, so it’s advisable to consider this if you're on a tight schedule. Additionally, some users have mentioned issues with drivers not being familiar with certain routes, leading to slightly longer trips.

One user shared a particularly positive experience, praising the professionalism and punctuality of their driver, who provided excellent service, including helpful communication and thoughtful gestures like offering water and snacks during the ride. Despite some negative experiences, such as reports of overcharging and unprofessional behavior by certain drivers, the majority of passengers find taxis to be a reliable and straightforward option for getting around Atlanta.

Apps

Rideshare company vehicles (Uber and Lyft) pick up passengers in the north economy lot.

Go through the north baggage claim area to access the escalators to the lower level. Once at the bottom, follow the orange signs to the parking lot and request your ride only after arriving at the pickup location.

In the case of the International Terminal, look for your driver on the outside curb of the Arrivals level, outside gates A1 and A2.

Traveler Insights: Rideshare services are widely praised for their convenience and slightly lower cost compared to traditional taxis. However, reviews highlight the importance of double-checking the pickup location to avoid confusion, especially in the busy Domestic Terminal. Some users also mentioned that surge pricing during peak hours can make rideshares more expensive than expected, so it’s wise to check the fare estimate before booking.

Additionally, passengers have appreciated the ease of using apps like Uber and Lyft, though some expressed frustration with drivers occasionally being difficult to locate, particularly during busy periods at the airport.

Fares

The average cost of this service with either company is USD34.00 from the airport to downtown or vice versa.
