Kirksville Regional Airport is close to town, but arriving passengers still need a plan for the last few miles.

## Parking is currently free

The City's passenger information says parking at the airport is free.

The lot is described as:

- ample;
- well lit;
- regularly patrolled.

That makes driving yourself to IRK straightforward for many local travelers.

## Rental cars require planning

Current airline and local tourism information identifies Enterprise as a rental-car option in Kirksville.

Do not assume that means a permanently staffed rental counter is waiting inside the terminal.

When booking, confirm:

- pickup location;
- airport delivery or pickup procedure;
- hours;
- return procedure.

## Taxis and shuttles can change

Local tourism and airline directories list taxi, limousine and shuttle providers.

Those directories have not always matched exactly.

A listed company may also require advance notice rather than waiting at the airport.

Verify the provider directly before relying on it.

## Do not assume rideshare availability

Small-city rideshare availability can vary by hour and driver supply.

If missing the ride would strand you, use a transportation option you have actually confirmed.

## Kirk-Tran should be confirmed with dispatch

Kirk-Tran demand-response service covers Kirksville and a surrounding service area.

Current public pages do not clearly establish the airport as a regular scheduled airport pickup.

Do not infer eligibility from distance alone.

Call dispatch if you want to use public transportation for an airport trip.

## For departures, solve transportation first

Before flying out:

1. decide whether you will drive and park;
2. reserve a rental only if needed on return;
3. confirm taxi/shuttle pickup if someone is not driving you;
4. leave enough time for airline check-in.

## For arrivals, do not improvise after landing

The airport is only a few miles from Kirksville, but a short distance is still inconvenient without a ride.

Make the arrangement before the flight.

The safest rule is simple:

**parking is predictable; hired transportation should be verified.**
