Ground Transportation
Taxis
Taxi service is extremely limited and provided by small, local operators. It is highly recommended to pre-book any taxi or shuttle service in advance, as cabs are not typically waiting at the airport. Many local lodges and outfitters provide their own shuttle services for guests with prior arrangements.
Rental Cars
There are no major national car rental chains at the airport. Car rentals are available through local companies, such as King Salmon Auto Rental. Vehicle selection is limited and may consist of older, more rugged trucks and SUVs suited for local conditions. Advance reservations are essential due to limited inventory.
Public Transportation
There is no public bus or transit system serving King Salmon Airport or the surrounding community. Transportation must be arranged privately through taxis, rental cars, or pre-arranged shuttles provided by local lodges or tour operators.
