Several local taxi companies serve the airport. It is strongly recommended to arrange for a taxi in advance of your arrival to ensure a vehicle is available, as they do not typically wait on-site. Companies like 1000 Islands Transportation and other local services can be booked directly.
Car rental counters for Hertz and Enterprise are located inside the main terminal building. Booking a vehicle ahead of your arrival is highly recommended, especially during peak tourist seasons, to guarantee availability.
There is no direct public bus or shuttle service that connects to the Watertown International Airport terminal. Travelers needing to access public transit must first take a taxi or arrange a ride into the city of Watertown to connect with the local bus system.
Reply to @david: That surprises me because Alexandria Bay is a tiny airport compared to Watertown. It's also PPR, and not listed as an AOE by the FAA. I think that listing may be for boats. The FAA still lists KART as an AOE, and like most small airports you have to call the nearest customs office 2 hours ahead of time.
Watertown is no longer listed on the CBP web site as an airport of entry: http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/toolbox/contacts/ports/ny/
Customs may still be willing to drive down from the bridge, but there are nearby official options at Alexandria Bay (89NY) and Syracuse (KSYR).
Yes, I've cleared customs at ART. Unfortunately, I had to wait 30 minutes, because the customs people forgot about the meeting and didn't leave the bridge until I called on my cell phone.
If it's VFR weather, a better option is 89N Alexandria Bay/Maxson Field:

It's much closer to the Thousand Islands Bridge, so it's easier for the officers, and you don't have to wait as long if they forget.
Syracuse (KSYR) also has customs nearby, as does Ogdensburg (KOGS), which is at the next bridge down from the Thousand Islands Bridge.
I have, but only pre-9/11. It required 2 hours prior notice by phone, and don't you *dare* get out of the plane before the customs guy gets there. (Although it's ok to stand on the wing and pee if you have to - but only if you have a low-wing.)
anyone flown into here from Canada?
