Grand Rapids Airport (GRR) and Getting to Your Saugatuck Rental

This guide covers Gerald R. Ford International Airport (GRR) in Grand Rapids, Michigan, using its nonstop routes page and ground transportation page, all checked on October 18, 2026. Airline routes change and some are seasonal, so treat these lists as a starting point and confirm on the airline’s site before you book.

Quick answer

GRR is in Grand Rapids, not on the Lake Michigan shore, and the pages we read do not give a drive time to Saugatuck or Douglas, so plan that leg with your map app. Rental car counters are in the airport’s new rental car facility, and rideshare picks up at the Rideshare Shelter on the boulevard. BnB Search is a rental directory, so nothing here is ranked or rated.

Airlines and routes listed by the airport

GRR says you can fly nonstop to over 35 major U.S. cities. Its nonstop routes page lists Allegiant, American, Avelo, Delta, Frontier, Southwest, Sun Country and United, and marks each route as seasonal or year-round. The list runs over several pages, so use the page’s city and airline filters instead of relying on a summary here.

Rental cars, rideshare, taxis and the bus

• Rental cars: counters are on the ground, first and second floors of the new rental car facility at 5630 Gateway Dr SE. The airport lists Avis, Budget, Enterprise, Hertz/Dollar and National/Alamo. It says the return route bypasses terminal traffic, and to follow the blue line on its map.
• Uber and Lyft: exit through door #4, across from the Delta ticket counter, to the Rideshare Shelter on the boulevard.
• Taxis: exit through door #5 or door #7. The airport mentions Metro Cabs for online booking.
• Bus: The Rapid’s Route 27 serves the airport Monday through Friday from the shelter across from door #6. The airport lists a $1.75 cash fare and says the fare box cannot give change. The page does not describe this bus as going to Saugatuck.
