ONT Airport Transportation to Azusa: Routes and Options

ONT is in Ontario, southeast of Azusa, and serves the airport’s two passenger terminals, Terminal 2 and Terminal 4. Ontario International Airport gives the terminal addresses as 2500 E. Airport Drive, Ontario, CA 91761, for Terminal 2 and 2900 E. Airport Drive, Ontario, CA 91761, for Terminal 4.

For a trip to Azusa, you can choose a direct road journey or combine rail with the airport shuttle. The Metrolink connection reaches ONT from Rancho Cucamonga; the airport’s transit information does not describe a complete public transit route onward to Azusa, so check the route details before choosing that option.

Rideshare, taxis, rental cars and pre-arranged limousine service are available at ONT, but each has a different pickup process. For a rideshare, wait until you have collected your luggage, then request a trip in the provider’s app and follow the signs outside your terminal.

Rideshare

Lyft, Uber, Prime Time Rideshare and Wingz serve ONT. Pickups are outside each terminal at signs marked “Rideshare Pick Up,” and arriving passengers are dropped at their appropriate terminal.

Before getting in, match the vehicle’s license plate, make and model, and driver name to the details in the app. Payment is handled through the app; drivers may not solicit customers at the airport.

Taxi

Taxis wait at ranks in front of every terminal, on the outer island. Bell Cab is the airport’s taxi partner. The airport says its taxi service is not wheelchair accessible; if you need an accessible rideshare vehicle, check availability with your provider.

Rental car

The Rental Car Center is at 3450 East Airport Drive, near Haven Avenue. Rental companies there include Alamo, Avis, Budget, Dollar, Enterprise, Fox, Hertz, National, Payless and Thrifty. A free airport shuttle connects the passenger terminals with the center; off-airport rental companies provide transportation between the center and their offices.

Limousine

Limousine trips to ONT require advance reservations. For a departure, call your operator to check in and go to the assigned pickup location. Arriving passengers are dropped at their appropriate terminal.

Take Metrolink’s San Bernardino Line to Rancho Cucamonga Station, then transfer to the ONT Connect shuttle for a nonstop ride to Terminals 2 and 4. The shuttle is operated by Omnitrans, and the ride is free with a valid Metrolink ticket.

This connection is useful for reaching the airport from the rail line, but it does not by itself explain the onward journey from ONT to Azusa. If your destination is Azusa, check current rail and bus connections for the full trip before setting out. The Azusa Downtown Station guide covers the station’s connections.

Choose based on how directly you want to travel and whether you want to drive yourself. Rideshare and taxis pick up outside the terminals; a rental car requires the airport shuttle to the Rental Car Center. The public transit option begins with Metrolink to Rancho Cucamonga and a transfer to ONT Connect.

If someone is collecting you by car, ONT has a free cell phone waiting lot for up to one hour at 3350 John Bangs Drive. Drivers can wait there until you are ready for pickup rather than circling the terminal.

Casa Blanca is about a 30-minute drive from ONT. For a stay in Azusa after your flight, review room options for an Azusa stay.

Before you go: Airport transportation details can change, so check the official ONT site before you go.

If you’re planning time in town, an Azusa day trip from downtown to the foothills is another way to shape your visit.
