ATL Airport Transportation: How to Get from Rodeway Inn Jonesboro to Hartsfield-Jackson

The hotel is in Forest Park, south of Atlanta, at 4415 Jonesboro Road. Choice Hotels describes it as a Jonesboro, Georgia hotel just outside Atlanta. If you’re planning time in town as well as an airport transfer, this guide to what visitors should know about Forest Park adds local context.

Driving and rideshare avoid the need to piece together a bus connection from the hotel. At ATL, the pickup process depends on which terminal you use, so check your arrival terminal before requesting a ride.

Rideshare

At the domestic terminal, rideshare pickup is in the North Economy lot. Follow the orange signs from the lower level, then request your ride after you reach the pickup location. Uber, Lyft, HeRide and Boogidy are authorized providers there.

At the international terminal, rideshare pickup is on the outer curb at the arrival level. Exit through door A1 or A2 and cross the crosswalk toward your selected ride. Uber, Lyft, HeRide and Boogidy are authorized providers at this terminal; you need the relevant provider’s app on your phone.

Taxi

Domestic-terminal taxis wait in Aisle A of the Ground Transportation Center, at stalls A3–A10. At the international terminal, the taxi pickup is on the arrival level outside door A-1.

ATL gives metered taxi charges as $3.50 for the first 1/8 mile, $0.30 for each additional 1/8 mile, a $1.50 vehicle trip fee and $24.00 per hour for waiting time. Its flat fares apply to specified Atlanta business-district zones, not the hotel area, so don’t assume those fares cover this trip.

Rental car

The Rental Car Center operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and connects to the airport by the SkyTrain. The SkyTrain also operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and provides complimentary transportation to the Rental Car Center and listed airport-area destinations.

MARTA bus routes serve Forest Parkway and the Morrow/Jonesboro area, but a current bus connection from the hotel to the airport is not confirmed. Check MARTA’s current bus-route information before planning a transit trip.

Route 195 serves Forest Parkway and Route 193 serves Morrow/Jonesboro. A Route 193 schedule document names Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport as a destination and includes a Forest Parkway and Lake Drive time point, but it does not confirm a current timetable. This practical guide to Hartsfield-Jackson for Forest Park visitors covers other airport logistics.

Verify the route, operating times, fares and any transfers with MARTA before setting out. The current route information does not establish how to connect from the hotel to a bus serving ATL.

The hotel’s shuttle availability is unconfirmed, so contact the hotel directly before relying on a hotel shuttle. Rodeway Inn Jonesboro - Atlanta South does not appear on ATL’s published list of hotels offering shuttle service.

At ATL’s domestic terminal, hotel shuttles pick up at Aisle C of the Ground Transportation Center. For shared rides, local providers use stalls B3–B8 at Aisle B, while Groome regional providers use stalls B9–B10. International-terminal shared-ride shuttle service is limited; contact the shuttle company in advance for details.

If you’re considering a private limousine, arrange it in advance. ATL permits airport pickups only by authorized Ground Transportation limousine companies. Off-airport parking pickups use Aisle D of the domestic-terminal Ground Transportation Center.

Choose your transfer based on what you can confirm: bus connections and hotel-shuttle availability need separate verification. The approximate drive time is a planning reference, not a guarantee of how long the trip will take when you travel.

If you’re using rideshare or a taxi after landing, note whether your flight arrives at the domestic or international terminal before following the relevant pickup instructions.

For a hotel shuttle, ask about availability and departure times rather than assuming service is offered. ATL’s terminal-to-terminal shuttle connector provides complimentary service between the domestic and international terminals and runs approximately every 15 minutes.

Before you go, check the official site before you go: use ATL’s ground-transportation information for airport pickup details and MARTA’s current bus-route information for transit service.
