Aim for the RCC, not departures
Set navigation to 2200 Rental Car Center Parkway, College Park, GA 30337. Follow Rental Car Return signs as you approach the airport roads.
Return the vehicle by brand
Each agency has dedicated return lanes inside the Rental Car Center. Keep your fuel receipt and rental agreement handy for faster closeout.
Ride ATL SkyTrain to the terminal
After return, follow signs upstairs to the ATL SkyTrain. The train connects the Rental Car Center with the airport terminal and Gateway hotels.
Build in a smart buffer
For domestic flights, give yourself enough time for car inspection, SkyTrain transfer, airline check-in, and TSA lines during ATL peaks.
