Buses

The Transit Authority of River City (TARC) operates buses from the airport to downtown including the efficient local bus number 2; you can pick up a free TARC schedule from the information booth at the terminal. Buses go from the island at the east end of the terminal and require the correct change.

Hotel Shuttles

Many of Louisville's better hotels have their own shuttle services for transport from the airport direct to their establishments and there is a free phone service in the terminal for shuttle services and hotel reservations. Various hotel shuttles depart from the blue curb to the right of the taxi stand, just outside the terminal entrance.

Taxi Cabs

Limousines

For comfort and efficiency, limousines are available for transport to the city, hotels and beyond, although they must be booked prior to arrival at Louisville International Airport.
