Free Attractions and Things To Do in Atlanta

If you’re like me, then you love FREE stuff. My motto is always, “If it’s FREE, it’s or ME”. Atlanta has a lot of great cultural, historical, and educational things to do for free if you’re visiting on business or for vacation. Obviously, Atlanta’s rich history and instrumental role of civil rights and Martin Luther King, Jr. play a big role in the city and its historical sites. Here are some great attractions to check out for FREE.

Important Links and Information For The Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta Airport

If you’ve ever been to the Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta, Georgia, it only took one visit to realize that it really is one of the busiest airports in the world. Because of its central location, it is one of the most common connection airports in the United States and the world. Over 250,000 people per day fly in and out of this airport, and this can make it a very confusing and frustrating experience if you’re not used to going through big airports. Here are some important links and information for you to have when planning your trip to Atlanta.

Flight Information

If you need to track a flight or make sure a flight is on schedule, click here. Flights are delayed and cancelled all the time in Atlanta, so it’s good to be prepared and check your flight or the flight of someone you are picking up before you visit the airport.

TSA Security

You’ll find some quick tips here for getting through security quickly and efficiently, plus there’s a tracker that estimates the wait times at the security checkpoints so you have an idea of how much time you need to allow to get through security and make your flight.

Rental Car Center

This newly opened rental car facility is on the airport property, and it’s just a short sky train ride away. Here’s the link for all of the information regarding the new rental car facility where you’ll find discount rental cars from E-Z Rent-A-Car.

Terminal Maps

Go to this page for all of the terminal maps so you can be prepared once you get inside the airport and know where you’re going! All of the maps are downloadable so you can print them out and take them with you.

Wireless Internet

It’s not free in the Atlanta Airport, you’ll have to pay a fee, but you can access it virtually anywhere in the airport. All you do is click on your Wi-Fi network settings and connect to the ATL-WIFI SSID. Then, open up a web browser and a splash page will come up for the airport connection manager.

Getting To Know The NEW Atlanta Airport Rental Car Center

The Atlanta airport is HUGE, and it’s a major hub for all flights going to or from the south, so this makes it a REALLY busy airport. I love searching for key phrases like “Atlanta Airport” on Twitter and Facebook and seeing all of the updates from people about how confused or lost they are at the airport. They recently made renting a car a little easier by creating a facility where all of the rental car companies (including E-Z Rent-a-Car!) are located. This makes your rental car buying more efficient and easier to access at the airport. Here is some more information for those of you planning on renting a car from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta Airport.

How To Access The Rental Car Center

  1. Pick up your checked luggage at the north or south baggage claim area.
  2. Follow the overhead signs and hallway placards to the rental car center.
  3. Proceed out of the west end of the terminal under the covered walkway.
  4. Take the escalator up to the station and board the ATL SkyTrain for the five-minute ride to the rental car center

Denver and Atlanta Are Now In-Terminal Locations

Tired of getting off the plane, grabbing your luggage, hopping on the shuttle bus, and finally reaching your rental car? You should be! By the time you reach your car, you’ve already wasted an hour or so, and that’s not a good experience. We want to make your experience as smooth and easy as possible, so that is why we are moving our locations in-terminal at the Atlanta and Denver international airports.

Atlanta-Hartsfield International Airport

atlanta
Starting December 8th, we will be moving to Atlanta’s brand-new consolidated facility. You’ll be able to walk up to our counters, check-in for your reservation, and get your car keys without leaving the airport. Our cars will also be located on airport property in parking garages, so you can walk to your car! This will rapidly decrease the amount of time it takes for you to get to your destination. This new move will work great for time sensitive travelers such as business travelers going to a meeting or conference in downtown Atlanta.

Denver International Airport

denver
Beginning December 1st, we will now have a counter location in-terminal at the Denver International Airport. Like all other rental car companies, our office will be on airport property, but our cars will be located off airport property, and a friendly E-Z shuttle driver will take you to your car. The ability to get you checked in and sign the paperwork in terminal will drastically reduce your wait time to get you to your car. This will allow Denver travelers to pick up their car quickly and efficiently.

If you have any other questions about this change, please do not hesitate to ask us by contacting us or posting a question on our Facebook fan page.
