A trip from the Medford International Airport to Ashland will run $18 for up to two people if you pay cash, any other form of payment will run a full-metered $40.


Bicycle Rentals

Ashland is a great town for getting around by bike. Most of the back streets see minimal traffic and are quite scenic. Streets to avoid or use caution on are Main Street and Siskiyou Boulevard. Lack of adequate shoulders and a plethora of autos make these streets not so nice. Ashland also has a bike path which runs from the very southern tip of town all the way to Talent. It is paved, well-designed and provides a perfect outing for the whole family.
