Commute time from Alpharetta to the aiport? (Sandy Springs: rental car, rental)

[mom2gurls]

What would be the commute time in peak and non peak traffic for commute time from the alpharetta area?

Too long

[mom2gurls]

LOL..it wasnt for living purposes..just accessibility to the airport!

[flyonpa]

About 50min in the middle of the night (from 400/ex 11)
About 75min other then rush hour ( Generaly go around the west side in i285)
Rush Hour????

That to the airport for drop off/pick up. Does not include parking time, shuttle bus time etc.

Helpful hint: If the exit off I85 (Term drive road) is all back'ed up goting to the Terminal, and you are doing a dropoff/pickup. Take the right exit onto Camp Creek and head into the Georgia International Conv. Center, and drop (and/or) pickup @ the rental Car Train terminal. Its a easy in/out.

Avg time a lil over an hr...

We've done it in 40 minutes (off peak). The longest it has taken us is 75 minutes(peak). That would be coming from Milton, taking Arnold Mill to Houze to Mansell to 400.

I wouldn't know. I take MARTA to go to the airport - no stress, no parking.

I live 2.5 miles east of 400 just off Holcomb Bridge Road (exit 7).

If I leave the house before 6:30 am, I can typically be in the North Daily parking deck at ATL in about 35-40 minutes.

If it's later than that during morning rush hour, it becomes highly variable depending on how long it takes to get to 400 from the house (can be 5 minutes, can be 20 minutes or more). 50 minutes to an hour is pretty typical, but has taken me longer on days where 400 was particularly bad between Exit 7 and I-285, or when the Downtown Connector was badly congested.

It's easy to underestimate how much difference the time it takes you to reach 400 can make -- for me it's a tiny fraction of the overall distance, but can be a much more significant portion of the time required. If you're buried deep in a subdivision with only one way in/out and then have a five mile drive on a major feeder road to even get on the freeway, you could be looking at 30 minutes just to get on 400 on a bad day during rush hour. That makes it tough to generalize about how long the commute is from "the Alpharetta area".

30-45 minutes via MARTA from North Springs or Sandy Springs Stations.

30-35 minutes for me door to door.

I live about 4 miles north of exit 9 -Haynes Bridge.

I did it twice, two weeks ago.

At peak times, probably 50-60 minutes?
