    It's a large state and a lot to see, so if you want to get around and you have flown in from out of State, I suggest you rent a car.

  • Mobile/Gulf Shores/Orange Beach area's
    Traveling to Gulf Shores/Orange Beach is very convenient. Most major airlines service local area airports and are within a short driving distance via Interstates 10 & 65 and Highway 98.
    Generally flying into Pensacola or Mobile airports are the best suggestions. Then pick up a rental car and drive to Gulf Shores area. There are two local airports for those that fly small planes.

    The best way to get around rural Alabama (cities too) is to rent a car with a convertable top and cruise with it down along the vast empty fields with to warm summer sun gleaming down on you. Wonderful!

  • The public transporation in Birmingham is terrible. Just pay for a taxi if you need to get somewhere. The buses don't have real schedules it seems, because I waited 2 hours for one that never came that was supposed to come every hour. When I called in to the number on the board, I was told it would be there in 5 minutes. I waited another 30 minutes after that.
