The closest airport to Holland Michigan, is Gerald R. Ford International Airport (GRR) located in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The distance from GRR to downtown Holland is 35 miles (approximately a 40 minute drive). Luckily Holland, Michigan is a very small town and a vehicle is not necessary to get to our wedding weekend activities. Ordering an Uber or Lyft from the airport is also a great option. However, if you do want to rent a car, there are several rental car companies located at GRR, including Hertz, Budget, National, &amp; Enterprise.
