Reserve an airport ride from Murray, UT to SLC off State Street

How 4800 South and State Street read

On the county grid, 4800 South is a numbered street: it is counted south from the starting corner downtown at Main Street. State Street carries a name rather than a number, yet the grid still fixes this corner at about 4740 South and 100 East. Treat those figures as a place, never as a distance: a mile holds roughly 685 to 700 grid numbers in central Salt Lake City, UT, and close to 800 in the south of the valley.

Some home addresses near this corner may use a named street instead of a grid number, and the office still has to place you on the grid before it asks for a fare. Type the address the way your mail shows it, then add these details so nobody has to guess:

• the nearest numbered cross street, such as 4800 South
• the nearest street running north and south, such as State Street
• the ZIP code, which is 84107 at this corner

Why 12.7 road miles stays under 14

Here a sedan starts from $110 and an SUV from $145, per car, each way. The grid number tells the office where you are, while the road sets the band: 12.7 road miles is past the 11 mile line and short of 14, so this corner sits in the band that runs up to 14 road miles. A sedan carries three riders at most, and an SUV carries up to six or a heavy load of luggage.

Whatever the company writes is what you pay. Its written fare may add waiting past the time it names, garage parking when the driver meets you inside, extra stops, or a gratuity it does not already include. Once you say yes and the company confirms, that figure is a fixed rate for the ride. Nothing is held for you before then, and the free quote asks nothing of you.

State Street, 4500 South, then the interstates

For a departure, the car takes State Street and 4500 South over to I-15, then I-80, and Terminal Drive covers the last mile. Measured at a quiet hour, that run came to 12.7 road miles and 18 minutes. Further east, the airport car service from Cottonwood Heights to SLC adds I-215 before it meets the same interstates.

Rush hour was never timed, and this route uses I-15 inside the stretch between 2100 South and 7200 South, where the office advises leaving room for traffic. Pick a pickup time with that room built in beyond the 18 minutes. Your reserved car sets you down on the commercial lane on the ground level in front of the terminal, as airport signs direct; the elevated road on top belongs to private cars.

Landing and the walk to the lane

Coming home, collect your bags on the second level. The reserved car picks you up on that same commercial lane on the ground level, a short walk down from baggage claim. Put the flight number on your request: it goes to the company, and the written fare says how it handles an early or late landing. The way back measured 12.7 road miles and 17 minutes at a quiet hour.

To be met inside, ask for meet at terminal in the request. Only if the company confirms it will the driver park and meet you at baggage claim holding a printed name sign, and the company may add that garage parking to its fare.
