Ground Transportation Information
Important Information for International Arrivals and Departures
International shuttle connector: Because Atlanta-bound passengers cannot access secured areas of the Airport after they pick up their luggage at the international terminal baggage claim, the Airport has established shuttle services to link passengers at the international terminal with existing facilities.
The international shuttle connector offers direct service from the international terminal to two locations:
* Existing facilities — A 12-minute shuttle ride connects the international terminal with the domestic terminal’s ground transportation center at the west end of the building. From here, passengers can access the domestic terminal, parking areas and MARTA train service to downtown.
* Rental car center — A 15-minute shuttle ride links passengers with the rental car center, which houses all rental car transaction counters and vehicles.
The international shuttle connector is a free service and operates 24 hours a day.
MARTA (Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transportation Authority)
MARTA is Atlanta’s local public transportation system. The Hyatt Regency Atlanta is located in the heart of downtown on historic Peachtree Street, and offers an indoor connection to the Peachtree Center Station of the MARTA public rail system making it just 15 minutes from Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport.
