Rent a Car (reserve early)
We’re aware there is already a shortage of rental cars. We have a few shuttles reserved to get people around on the day/night of the wedding, more details to follow.
Ride Shares (Lyft / Uber)
You can easily get a ride share from the airport to anywhere you need to go. A Lyft from the airport to Girdwood will likely run around $80. It’s about a 45 minute drive.
Once in Girdwood, there are not a lot of options for ride shares. During the day, you still may be able to get a ride, but this is far less reliable than other travel options from Girdwood.
