Travel from Gainesville Airport

Gainesville Regional Airport is located approximately 6 miles from the University of Florida and the Holiday Inn University Center.

Your best bets for getting to the Holiday Inn are to take a taxi (typical fare $10) or to call the hotel's shuttle van (free) from a courtesy telephone inside the airport terminal.

Driving from the Airport

There is only one road from the passenger terminal. When you reach the airport exit, turn right onto State Route 222 (NE 39 Ave). Take this road to its intersection with NW 13 St, a distance of 3-4 miles. (You will pass through lights at the intersections with Waldo Rd, NE 15 St, N Main St and NW 6 St before reaching the light at NW 13 St.)

Turn left onto NW 13 St and follow it for about 2.5 miles until you approach the light at W University Ave. University Avenue is equivalent to NW 0 Avenue, so it is fairly easy to count down the crossing streets between NW 39th Ave and W University Ave.

The University of Florida campus begins on the southwest corner of the intersection between W University Ave and NW 13 St.

The Holiday Inn-University Center is located at the northeast corner of the same intersection, so it will be on your left-hand side as you approach the light. It is easiest to enter the parking lot from NW 13 St, turning left about 50 yards before the light. If you drive past this entry, turn left at the light, and then left again after another 50 yards.
