Flying to Savannah
 

...how far is the airport to the old section of town? Would I need to rent a car? Thanks.

The airport is about a 20/30 min drive to downtown. I don't know about renting a car or parking there. I always stay in midtown and rent a car.

SAV is one of my favorite airports. Nice and small---all the airlines' gates are located on a single concourse, there's rarely a line at security, and rental cars are located within walking distance of the terminal.

(Mods, please move this thread to TravelBuzz)

Have done Savannah twice in recent years...and you will need to rent a car to get in to Savannah itself. As the previous posts suggest, Savannah is approx 20 - 30 mins from the airport.
Several hire car companies are adjacent to the carousels... Hertz, Avis, Alamo etc.. though it may be a good idea to pre book a car before you leave home!.
And dont forget to check out River Street! :)
