Finding your way after landing
Use baggage claim as your first landmark: the airport’s terminal map identifies it as the baggage-service facility for all airlines. The main terminal stays open around the clock, and elevators are across from the first- and second-floor escalators.
For directions or local transportation advice, stop at the Visitor Information Center in the heart of baggage claim. It offers area maps, flight information and in-terminal announcements as well as help with directions. Restrooms are in the main terminal, Savannah Square and beyond the security checkpoint; the airport identifies them as handicap accessible.
If you are travelling with an animal, outdoor relief areas are at the north and south ends of baggage claim. Free luggage carts are available in baggage claim and the parking deck.
Baggage claim and meeting points
Arriving passengers should collect their bags in baggage claim, where the airport also places the Visitor Information Center and rental-car counters. If someone is driving to meet you, the airport’s free Cell Phone Waiting Lot is intended for drivers waiting for arriving passengers. Drivers must stay with their vehicles; unattended parking is not allowed.
Set a meeting point with your driver before leaving baggage claim, then follow the terminal signs toward the pickup area. This keeps the handoff clear without asking the driver to wait at the curb.
Ground-transport pickup areas
Rental-car companies are located in baggage claim, and their pickup and return lots are covered and adjacent to the main terminal. The airport names Alamo, Avis, Dollar, Enterprise, Payless, National, Budget, Hertz and Thrifty as rental-car companies.
Taxis are just outside the front door of baggage claim, including for late-night arrivals. Shuttle pickup needs to be arranged before you arrive, so confirm your plan in advance; the details for a shuttle from Savannah airport to Rincon can help you plan that connection.
The terminal map also marks a Chatham Area Transit (CAT) bus stop. CAT serves Savannah, unincorporated Chatham County and portions of Garden City.
