Two licensed taxi companies, U-Need-A-Cab and 5-0 Cab, serve the airport. Taxis are readily available just outside the main terminal doors for all arriving flights. Pre-booking is also an option.
Several car rental agencies have counters located directly inside the Air Terminal Building. Options include Avis, Budget, Enterprise, and National. It is recommended to book your vehicle in advance.
There is no direct public transit bus service to the North Bay Jack Garland Airport terminal building. The nearest North Bay Transit bus stops are located on Airport Road, which is a significant walking distance from the terminal.
Last year I had to overnight unexpectedly due to a problem with my aircraft which took me a couple of days to sort out. The operator of the Shell FBO also owns a motel and he was very helpful - providing me with an excellent room rate and a car rental on short notice at a great price.
You can't ask for better service than that!
This airport is up on a hill, several hundred feet above the city below and Lake Nippising. That's both a good and bad thing -- once, I was able to depart VFR when the city was completely fogged in, because the hill was above the top of the fog with blue skies above. On the other hand, if there's a low ceiling, it will be lower here than in the city.
This airport is a good fuel stop for private planes -- there's no landing fee, and no ramp fee if you're staying only a short time. There's an ILS and a *very* long runway (an old NORAD runway) for bad weather, and Sudbury is close by as an alternate.
