Taxis are also readily available at the ground transportation center, with fares similar to ride shares. Car rentals from major companies like Alamo, Avis, Budget, Enterprise, and Hertz are onsite, giving you flexibility to explore the city. Public transit via MATA bus route 64 is the cheapest option at $1.00, but it's slower and less frequent.
