The airport is situated 24km (15 miles) south of Akron and about the same distance north of Canton.

Akron-Canton has begun an ambitious 10-year US$110 million upgrade project, which includes a runway extension, improved customs and immigration facilities, new gates and better access.

From Canton, take the I-77 north to exit 113 (Akron-Canton Airport). From Akron, take the I-77 south and follow signs to exit 113 (Akron-Canton Airport). From exit 113 cross Lauby Road and the terminal building is directly ahead.

There are four parking lot options at the Akron-Canton Airport. The free waiting area (often called the cell phone lot) is adjacent to the terminal. Vehicles here must be attended at all times. The short-term parking lot is located in front of the terminal. It is the most convenient but expensive parking option. The long term lot offers easy access to the terminal although it is further than short term. The economy lot is the most affordable parking option but is located yet further away. A complimentary door-to-door shuttle service is provided from the long-term and economy lots. All parking lots are accessible for disabled people.

Alamo, Avis, Budget, Dollar, Enterprise, Hertz, National and Thrifty all operate from the airport.
