Transportation to Airport from Portland City Center
Portland Intl. Airport
There is only an 8-km distance between the city center and Portland International Airport, which is among the biggest and busiest airports of the state it is located in. Bringing people from any point in the city center to the airport for 24 hours, taxis come first among the vehicles to come to the airport from the city center, which is not so far. Like other cities of the country, Portland is a place where limousines and private shuttles are frequently used for transportation. If you have a private car, you can be at the entrance of the terminals within only a few minutes while coming to the airport from the city center. As an alternative to all of these vehicles, shuttles of many hotels in the city, which are paid or free-of-charge, can be preferred for going to the airport.
Taxi
Taxis can be found within minutes in every corner of Portland’s city center and you can use these cars for reaching the airport. Because the center is very close to the airport, the fee you are going to pay at the end of the journey will generally be low. However, don’t forget that these vehicles can be quite costly if you need to come to the airport from farther places outside Portland’s center. When you come to the airport from central places by a taxi, you will generally pay around 20-30 dollars. If you are concerned about the fee you will pay at the end of your travel before taking one of the taxis, you can go to the airport after learning the average fee from taxi drivers.
Limousine
Limousines are among the vehicles mostly preferred to come to the airport especially by foreign visitors and passengers whose priority is comfort. You can find many limousine firms fulfilling different needs and expectations in the city and take one of these vehicles from any point in the city center after making a reservation. You can make a reservation for a limousine by calling 207-749-6797 for A&S Limousine, complete your transfer with Airport Limousine by making a reservation through 207- 773-3433 or come to the entrance of the airport by a limousine after reserving a Bay Limo vehicle via 207-878-2292. Some of these firms provide large shuttles which are ideal for more crowded groups. Thus, you can find your vehicle at your door by contacting the firm easily when you need to go to the airport from the center as a group.
Hotel Shuttle
Portland is also a place which hosts a lot of hotels. Most hotels in the city offer private shuttles for those who want to come to the airport from the city center. Although hotel shuttles provide customers with services generally free-of-charge or for reasonable prices, you have the chance of making a reservation for shuttles after getting information about the fees you are supposed to pay before using these vehicles. You can call 207-253-5005 for Courtyard by Marriott, one of the hotels offering shuttle service to the airport from the city center of Portland, 207-772-3838 for Econolodge or make your reservation for the hotel shuttles by calling 207-775-6161 for DoubleTree by Hilton before going to the airport. If you are staying at a different hotel, you can choose the vehicle with which you will come to the airport by obtaining information about the airport shuttles and the hours from the receptionists of your hotel.
Private Vehicle
If available, coming to the airport from the city with your private car or a rented car is very easy as well. For this, you can follow I-95 (Maine Turnpike) from the center and leave from the exit 46. Another route you can use while coming to the airport from the city center is to follow I-295, leave from the exit 3 and pursue the directions for Western Avenue, South Portland. If this is your first visit to the city and you don’t know much about the roads, it will be useful to take a navigation device or a map with you and then to set off.
Airport Information
Located 8 kilometers far from the city center of Portland, Portland International Jetport is in service for 24 hours. There are waiting lounges, buffets for shopping and shops for passengers at the airport where there is also a large parking area with the capacity of more than 2000 vehicles. It is possible to find a taxi easily almost all day in the taxi section at the exit of the airport terminal.
