Atlanta Airport to Marietta, Kennesaw and Cobb Galleria
Atlanta Airport to Marietta, Kennesaw and Cobb Galleria
By the SUV on Demand dispatch team — the veteran-owned Atlanta crew behind thousands of Hartsfield-Jackson transfers.
Quick answer: Marietta, Kennesaw and the Cobb Galleria area are northwest of Hartsfield-Jackson, roughly 22 to 35 miles away, reached by I-285 or the Downtown Connector and then I-75 north. MARTA rail does not serve Cobb County, taxis are metered outside the three flat-rate zones, and rideshare prices move with demand. A private SUV gives you a flat rate quoted before you fly (SUV on Demand SUVs start at $175, with the exact price set by your route), a driver tracking your flight and a door-to-door ride, which helps most on convention weeks, Braves game nights and weekday rush hours.

How far is Cobb County from ATL?
Cobb County sits across the northwest side of the metro, and the I-75 and I-285 interchange near Cumberland is the hub for most of it. Time of day matters more than mileage.
| Destination | Approximate distance | Light traffic | Rush hour or event traffic |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cobb Galleria Centre and Cumberland (Truist Park, The Battery, Cobb Energy Centre) | About 20 to 25 miles | About 30 to 40 minutes | Often 60 to 90 minutes |
| Marietta (Marietta Square, Kennesaw Avenue) | About 25 to 30 miles | About 40 to 55 minutes | Often 70 to 100 minutes |
| Kennesaw (Kennesaw State University, Kennesaw Mountain) | About 30 to 35 miles | About 45 to 60 minutes | Often 80 to 100 minutes |
Distances and times are typical ranges, not guarantees. Actual time depends on your addresses, weather and incidents on I-75 and I-285.
Why transit does not fill the gap
MARTA rail runs north-south and east-west through the core of Atlanta but does not reach Cobb County. Local bus service covers parts of the county, but it adds transfers and slow trips for travelers with luggage. If you are comparing MARTA for a Downtown or Midtown stay, read MARTA vs Private Car Service From Hartsfield-Jackson; for Cobb, a car is the practical option.
Your options from ATL to Cobb County
| Option | Cost behavior | Strengths | Watch for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Transit and a second ride | Low fare for the first leg plus the second | Cheapest on paper | Multiple transfers; limited late-night service; hard with bags |
| Airport taxi | Metered outside the three flat-rate zones, so the fare rises with distance and traffic | No reservation needed | Queue at busy times; the final fare is hard to predict in rush-hour traffic |
| Rideshare | Varies with demand | Easy to request | Price can spike on game, concert and convention days; you see it only at request |
| Private SUV (SUV on Demand) | Flat rate quoted at booking; SUVs from $175 | Price fixed, flight tracked, door-to-door, room for bags and groups | Costs more than a taxi on a quiet day; book ahead for the exact quote |
Cobb Galleria Centre: convention and trade-show arrivals
The Cobb Galleria Centre hosts conferences, trade shows and large meetings, and attendees often fly into ATL and need to reach the Galleria, nearby hotels and offices on a schedule. A few things help:
- Share the plan. If you are bringing a team, book one vehicle or a Sprinter so everyone arrives together; see our Sprinter Limo Service.
- Book ahead for peak weeks. Convention weeks and the Braves home schedule overlap in this area, so flat-rate bookings are safer than same-day requests.
- Know the drop-off. Tell us the exact hall, hotel or office entrance so the chauffeur plans the approach in advance.
See our dedicated Cobb Galleria Centre limo service page.
Cumberland, The Battery and game nights
Cumberland is one of the metro’s busiest corridors, and Braves home games at Truist Park add traffic on top of weekday rush hour. If you land on a game day, expect slower roads near I-75 and I-285 and busier pickup areas. A flat-rate booking protects your price and your schedule. See our Truist Park limo service page.
Marietta and Kennesaw: from the Square to the campus
Marietta Square, the Kennesaw State University campuses and the Kennesaw Mountain area all draw travelers who land at ATL: parents visiting students, visiting faculty, families and business guests. For private flyers, the Cobb County airport (RYY) is a separate option, and we cover it on our Cobb County Airport limo page. For everyone else, see our Marietta limo service and Cobb County limo service pages.

Frequently asked questions
1. How far is Marietta from Atlanta airport?
Roughly 25 to 30 miles. In light traffic expect about 40 to 55 minutes, and at weekday rush hour it can take 70 to 100 minutes.
2. How far is the Cobb Galleria Centre from ATL?
About 20 to 25 miles, typically 30 to 40 minutes in light traffic and often 60 to 90 minutes at rush hour or on game and event days.
3. Can I take MARTA from the airport to Marietta or Kennesaw?
No. MARTA rail does not serve Cobb County. You would need a bus or a second ride, which is slow with luggage.
4. How much is a taxi from ATL to Marietta?
The airport’s flat taxi rates cover Downtown, Midtown and Buckhead. Trips to other destinations are metered, so the fare depends on distance and traffic and is harder to predict on a long ride.
5. Is rideshare cheaper than a private SUV to Cobb County?
It can be at quiet times, but rideshare prices change with demand and you see the final number at the moment of request. A private SUV is a flat rate quoted in advance, so the price cannot jump after you land.
6. How much does a private SUV from ATL to Marietta cost?
SUV on Demand airport SUV service starts at $175. Your exact flat rate depends on your pickup, drop-off and vehicle, and you see it before you confirm.
7. Will my chauffeur track my flight?
Yes. Your chauffeur monitors your flight so an early or delayed arrival does not cancel your pickup. Confirm the exact wait terms when you book.
8. Can you drop me at the Cobb Galleria Centre for a convention?
Yes. Give us the hall, hotel or entrance when you book and we plan the approach, and we can arrange a Sprinter or multiple vehicles for a team.
9. What about game days at Truist Park?
Traffic near Cumberland is heavier on Braves game days. Book a fixed pickup time and give us your drop-off point so your chauffeur plans around the congestion.
10. Do you serve Kennesaw State University?
Yes. We provide rides for campus visits, move-in weekends and family travel. Tell us the campus address and your group size when you book.
