Anchorage Airport Transportation
Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport (ANC) (5000 W International Airport Rd, Anchorage, AK 99502) handles the vast majority of Alaska's air traffic, and its ground-level arrivals curbside fills fast on busy summer days when cruise passengers, fishing groups, and corporate travelers all land within the same two-hour window. For prearranged shuttle service, ANC directs passengers to pickup locations outside baggage claim; at the South Terminal, shuttle buses use the commercial vehicle lane on the lower arrivals ramp, while the airport's official guidance places hotel-shuttle pickup outside Level 1 baggage claim across from Door 6. transportation providers must remain with shuttle buses within 300 feet of the terminal, so have your group coordinator gather everyone and their luggage before the van enters the loading area. Review the official ANC ground transportation guidelines when assigning your pickup point.
For groups using ANC's free Cell Phone Lot, the lot is about two minutes from both terminals, transportation providers must stay with their vehicles, and parking along International Airport Road is prohibited. A commercial vehicle picking up at the airport also needs the appropriate ANC commercial vehicle permit; the airport lists a $75 annual permit for limousines and non-scheduled shuttle service with a capacity of 4–15 passengers. Those details help your coordinator distinguish a legal commercial pickup from an ordinary curbside meeting point.
See ANC's commercial vehicle permit requirements before the trip.
