Effective as of today, Wednesday, October 20, 2021, if you are renting a vehicle at Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky International Airport, you are no longer required to use a shuttle thanks to the new Rental Car Center which opened as part of the terminal.
Renting a Vehicle No Longer Requires a Shuttle at Cincinnati International Airport
