ATL Airport to Norcross Transportation Advice?
I will be arriving at Atlanta Hartsfield International Airport, I need to travel to a hotel located in Norcross, what would be the best form of transportation on Sunday 11 pm?
I plan on renting a car the following day, could have rented a car at the airport, but by renting off airport location will save me around $700 in airport concession fees.
Is my only choice a taxi? If so can you please give me an estimate of how much it would cost and whats a reliable company to book from?
thanks in advance

A few alternatives>>>
Transportation from Atlanta Airport
A taxi to Norcross would be rather expensive, imo. Norcross is about 25 mi north of the airport. You are probably staying somewhere along Peachtree Industial Blvd/Peachtree Pkwy. I wonder if the hotel could provide some recommendations, too. |

Take MARTA (the local subway) to the Doraville station and then grab a cab or see if the hotel offers shuttle service from the Doraville station. Here is a link to MARTA's website
MARTA - Getting There - Rail Schedules & Maps
Make sure you get on a northbound train that says Doraville on it -- if it says N. Springs wait for the next train. |

If you're arriving at 11 PM on a Sunday, don't do MARTA. It ends early, and if your plane is delayed or if you get caught up in the airport, it could be disastrous.
Your best bet is to take a taxi. Yes, it's expensive, but it is the safest, most logical choice.

I guess taxi it is then! Now can anyone recommend a taxi company to call? Maybe a company that offers a flat rate from the Airport to Norcross (Peachtree Corners). I read there are flat rates to downtown.
