Where 900 South crosses 900 East

Ask a neighbor in the 84102 ZIP code for 9th and 9th and you get the crossing of 900 South and 900 East. That name is the round version. Measured on the county's own grid points, the corner sits near 910 South and 920 East, and that pair is the dot on the small grid chart beside this text.

Every address nearby reads the same way, as two numbers counted from the downtown corner where the grid begins. A house at 870 E 900 S is house 870 East on the 900 South street, just west of the crossing. The numbers are counts, and around 900 East roughly 655 to 700 of them make a mile.

Why 8.6 road miles means the second band

From this corner a sedan runs from $100 and an SUV from $130, per car, each way. A sedan takes three riders at most, an SUV six. The road sets those figures, and the grid number does not. The usual route takes 500 South to I-80 and on to the terminal: 8.6 road miles and about 17 minutes at a quiet hour. That lands just past the 8-mile edge of the first band, so the corner sits in the band that runs up to 11 road miles.

Once you say yes and the company confirms, its written fare becomes a fixed rate for that ride. Until the company's confirmation reaches you in writing, nothing is held for you. The written fare may add a few things, and it names each one plainly:

• Waiting past the time the fare names
• Garage parking, when the driver meets you inside
• Extra stops along the way
• A gratuity, if the fare does not already include one

From baggage claim down to the commercial lane

Bags come off on the second level of the terminal. The reserved car picks you up on the commercial lane on the ground level, a short walk down from baggage claim, as the airport signs direct. Put your flight number on the request: the company plans the pickup around it, and its written fare says how it handles an early or late landing. The ride back to the corner measured 8.6 road miles and 14 minutes at a quiet hour.

If you would rather be met inside, ask for it on the request. The meet at terminal option holds only when the company confirms it: the driver parks and stands at baggage claim with a printed name sign, and the company may add the garage parking to its fare. The page on airport pickup at SLC for the Salt Lake Valley covers arrivals for every corner.

Three nearby corners measured against this one

If you live toward the edge of this area, the nearby corners show where a band changes. Downtown, at 200 South and Main Street, measured 7.2 road miles and 13 minutes to the terminal, inside the first band, with a sedan from $90 and an SUV from $120, per car, each way. The Avenues, at 3rd Avenue and E Street, measured 8.4 road miles and 17 minutes, so it shares this corner's band and its $100 and $130 starting figures.

Head south and east and the band climbs. Sugar House, at 2100 South and 1100 East, measured 11.1 road miles and 17 minutes, just over the 11-mile edge, which puts it in the band that runs up to 14, with a sedan from $110 and an SUV from $145, per car, each way. Its route uses 2100 South, I-80 and I-15 before I-80 west, and the airport ride from Sugar House to SLC page walks through it.
