ATL's pages give no drive time. Published November 15, 2026 ![The Rental Car Center at Atlanta airport seen from the roadside pylon, with the SkyTrain guideway overhead and the parking deck beyond.](https://atlairportguide.com/images/atl/rcc-exterior-skytrain-side-v7.webp) Rental Car Center, ATL You can rent a car at the Rental Car Center, which runs 24 hours and sits one SkyTrain ride from the Domestic Terminal. Or you can take a bus, since Greyhound and FlixBus both print a minimum trip of 3 hr 10 mins and fares from $39.98. ATL’s directions and ground transportation pages give no drive time or route to Savannah. ## Rent at the Rental Car Center and ride the SkyTrain there The center is at 2200 Rental Car Center Parkway, Atlanta, GA 30337. ATL’s directions page says to walk out of the west end of the Domestic Terminal under the covered walkway, take the escalator up to the SkyTrain station, and ride the [SkyTrain](https://atlairportguide.com/transport/skytrain/) to the center. ATL’s ground transportation page calls the center a few minutes away by SkyTrain. From the International Terminal, ATL’s pages describe two routes. Its ground transportation page says the [International Terminal Shuttle](https://atlairportguide.com/transport/international-terminal-shuttle/) runs between the International Terminal and the Rental Car Center about every 15 minutes. ATL’s maps page puts that direct shuttle at the arrivals level. ATL’s FAQ describes a longer route: the free shuttle to the Domestic Terminal, then the SkyTrain. Alamo, Budget, Dollar, Enterprise, National and Thrifty have counters on Level 2. ACE, Avis, Europcar, Fox, Hertz, Payless and Sixt are on Level 3. ATL’s driving routes into the center are in the [Rental Car Center guide](https://atlairportguide.com/guides/atlanta-airport-rental-cars-rental-car-center/). ## Know what the airport and the rental companies don’t publish ATL’s ground transportation page lists counter phone numbers for seven brands. It gives no counter hours or rates and no one-way drop-off rules. Ask your rental company whether it accepts a Savannah return, and what that costs, before you book. The only Atlanta to Savannah totals in print are the bus operators’, which describe a bus, so don’t use them as a drive time. ## Take Greyhound or FlixBus from the Atlanta Airport stop Greyhound’s and FlixBus’s route pages print the same figures for the trip. | Figure | As printed | | --- | --- | | Minimum trip duration | 3 hr 10 mins | | Cheapest fare | From $39.98 | | Trips a day | 4 | | Distance | About 247 to 249 miles | | Savannah stop | Savannah Bus Station, 610 W Oglethorpe Ave | Greyhound’s FAQ says its first bus from Atlanta leaves at 12:25 a.m. and its last at 4:35 p.m. It doesn’t say which Atlanta stop those times belong to. If you land after 4:35 p.m., the page shows no later bus, so plan on the rental car that night. Both route pages list an Atlanta Airport stop at 6000 N Terminal Dr. Its note says the bus drops off passengers on the Lower Level of the North Terminal roadway, next to the North Parking area, and it doesn’t say where the bus boards. ATL’s ground transportation page names only Greyhound’s pickup, on the North lower level near Door LN1, and gives 1-800-231-2222 for reservations. FlixBus says your ticket carries the most up-to-date stop address, so check it there. The pages also list two other Atlanta stops, the Atlanta Bus Station at 232 Forsyth St and Atlanta Downtown (Civic Center) at 435 W Peachtree St NW. On bags, Greyhound’s page allows one carry-on of 16x12x7 in and up to 25 lbs plus one checked bag at no extra cost. FlixBus’s page allows one carry-on up to 7 kg and one checked bag up to 20 kg. ## Check the regional shuttles before you rule them out ATL says regional shared-ride shuttles serve areas outside the five metro Atlanta counties and states bordering Georgia. Some leave every 30 minutes to an hour, and others run only if someone books. ATL’s ground transportation page puts the regional providers on Aisle B, between stalls B9 and B10. The airport’s terminal map words it differently. It lists stalls B3 to B8 for shared-ride shuttles, Groome, and local and regional service. On the map, B9 is the International Terminal shuttle drop-off. ATL’s regional destination list is a search tool on its page, so it doesn’t print whether one serves Savannah. ATL’s ground transportation page names Groome Transportation as the regional provider, with numbers for Auburn, Birmingham and Chattanooga. Ask Groome Transportation whether it serves Savannah before you plan around it. The [guide to every way out of ATL](https://atlairportguide.com/guides/every-way-get-from-atl/) compares the taxi, shared shuttle and rideshare options and says where each one boards. ### Sources - Our [SkyTrain page](https://atlairportguide.com/transport/skytrain/), [International Terminal shuttle page](https://atlairportguide.com/transport/international-terminal-shuttle/), [Rental Car Center guide](https://atlairportguide.com/guides/atlanta-airport-rental-cars-rental-car-center/) and [guide to every way out of ATL](https://atlairportguide.com/guides/every-way-get-from-atl/) - ATL’s directions to the Rental Car Center - ATL’s ground transportation page and terminal map - ATL’s maps page - ATL’s frequently asked questions - ATL’s regional shared-ride shuttles page - Greyhound’s Atlanta to Savannah page - FlixBus’s Atlanta to Savannah page
