Reliable transportation for Hilton Garden Inn Watertown guests
Staying at the Hilton Garden Inn Watertown/Thousand Islands at 1290 Arsenal Street, Watertown, NY? Make your airport transfer simple with 1000 Island Taxi.
1000 Island Taxi is the recommended and approved local airport shuttle for Hilton Garden Inn guests and travelers throughout the Watertown region. We provide safe, private, and comfortable transportation to and from Syracuse Hancock International Airport (SYR), Watertown International Airport (ART), and Ogdensburg International Airport.
Rideshare apps are not always reliable in Watertown. Early-morning pickups, winter weather, limited driver availability, and trips from rural Jefferson County can make app-based transportation uncertain. With 1000 Island Taxi, you communicate directly with a local driver and arrange your pickup in advance.
The easiest way to get to Watertown from Syracuse Airport is a private ride reserved with a local airport transportation provider.
