How the ATL SkyTrain Works for Rental Car Travelers

A plain-English guide to riding the ATL SkyTrain between the terminal, Gateway area, and Rental Car Center.

# ATL SkyTrain to the Rental Car Center

After arriving at Hartsfield-Jackson, follow airport signs to the west end of the terminal and the covered walkway. The escalator leads to the ATL SkyTrain station.

Why it matters

ATL does not use the same rental car shuttle pattern as many airports. The train keeps rental car traffic away from terminal curbs and gives travelers a clearer transfer to the RCC.

Return trip

After returning the vehicle, follow signs back to the SkyTrain platform and ride to the terminal.
