You might want to give them a call:

It looks like there is some bus service from the train station to downtown/broadway area:

Jamie,

Amtrak does have a train from Albany to Saratoga Springs- it's Albany-Resselaer, which is some miles (10 or so?) from the airport (I think) but it's do-able. Train fare is $17.00 one-way.

Go to the amtrak.com and enter in the stations and the date you arrive and they'll show the schedules and fares.

Yeah, I checked that out...

Problem is that I come in at 8:55pm on Wednesday night and nothing leaves that late (except the Greyhound bus at 9:05.) Greyhound has no return bus from Toga on July 29th, though. I guess I should have figured all of this out a bit earlier.

I may just rent a car... might be less of a hassle.

You could do the train at least from Saratoga back to Albany- that might save you a rental day. One-way rentals aren't usually any more than round trip, in my experience.

Default Another suggestion ...

There are plenty of people on this site from that area. Have you thought of cyberhitching from the train/bus station? (i.e. begging for a ride from one of the locals )
