How to Get from Augusta Regional At Bush Field to Budget Inn Express

Augusta Regional Airport is south of the city, and the drive from AGS to the hotel takes about 20 minutes. The airport sits on Highway 56 Spur, also called Doug Barnard Parkway, 4 miles south of I-520 East at Exit 10.

The address, 1616 Gordon Highway, is useful when setting the destination for this hotel in Augusta.

The airport’s published driving directions explain how to reach AGS from the interstates, rather than giving turn-by-turn directions from the airport to the hotel.

If you are driving to the airport from I-20, take Exit 196A to I-520 East, then follow the airport directions from I-520 Exit 10. From there, the airport is on Highway 56 Spur (Doug Barnard Parkway).

For the trip from AGS, enter the destination address in a current navigation service. If someone is collecting you, the airport says the curb in front of passenger pickup and drop-off is for active loading and unloading only; unattended vehicles may be ticketed and towed.

The airport says taxi cabs and hotel shuttles are available to assist travelers. It does not identify operators, service hours, or specific pickup points, so arrange details directly with the provider before relying on a particular service.

Rental cars are another option. The airport’s FAQ names Avis, Budget, Enterprise, Hertz, National/Alamo, Thrifty/Dollar, and Payless as agencies serving AGS. Confirm availability and counter hours with the agency, as those details can vary.

If you are picking someone up, use a short-term or long-term parking lot rather than leaving a vehicle unattended at the passenger pickup curb. The first 30 minutes are free, and each additional 30 minutes costs $1.00. Daily maximums are $12.00 for short-term parking and $10.00 for long-term parking.

For a rental car, confirm the agency’s current hours and collection instructions before your flight. Budget’s AGS listing says its rental counter is inside the terminal and the cars are about 50 yards adjacent to it. For after-hours returns, park and lock the vehicle, then put the keys and completed contract in the drop box at the rental counter.

Parking arrangements and prices can change, so check the official site before you go. For current airport information, use the Augusta Regional Airport website.

For a late arrival, confirm your transport plan before boarding. Taxis and hotel shuttles are available, but their operating hours and specific pickup locations are not published. Contact the relevant provider to make sure your arrival time works for its service.

Rental-car hours can also affect a late pickup. Budget gives different hours for different days, and its after-hours return instructions apply to returns, not to collecting a vehicle after the counter closes. Confirm current pickup arrangements with your rental agency.

If you plan to spend time in the city after arriving, the one-day downtown Augusta route starts from the hotel area.
