Shuttle buses from the lower levels of the airport buildings provide free transport to the BWI Rail Station. From the lower levels as well, passengers can take public or private buses into the city, or to Washington and the other nearby counties, such as Annapolis. Taxis are considered as convenient as well, and will travel to all parts of Baltimore and even to further destinations, such as Washington, Gaithersburg, Ocean City, Bethesda and Philadelphia.

Arriving passengers who prefer to travel on their own can rent a car from one of the Baltimore-Washington International Airport car hire companies. They include Hertz, Budget, National, Alamo, Enterprise, Avis and Thrifty. The car hire companies are not found in the terminal buildings, but rather at their own location along Stoney Run Road and New Ridge Road.
