Daytona Jazz Weekend

No rail into Daytona Beach itself, the nearest Amtrak station is DeLand, FL (Silver Service/Floridian corridor), about 26 road miles west. Amtrak sells a Thruway connector-bus leg from DeLand into Daytona Beach (curbside stop at 100 N Atlantic Ave beachside, plus Ocean Walk Village), and Votran's Route 60 also links DeLand's Amelia Superstop to the International Speedway Blvd corridor for $2. Only worth it for rail-first travelers; everyone else should fly into DAB or drive

Two intercity options land usefully close. Greyhound's Daytona Beach station is at 138 S Ridgewood Ave, just off the US-92/International Speedway Blvd corridor about 3.5 miles east of One Daytona (short rideshare or Route 60 bus along ISB). FlixBus boards at the Tanger Outlets pullover lane at 1100 Cornerstone Blvd, about 1.5 miles north of One Daytona, the closest intercity drop to the venue, with direct budget service from Orlando, Miami and other Florida cities. A budget alternative to flying, not an airport transfer

Votran Route 18 serves Daytona Beach International Airport Monday-Saturday (pickups on the hour and half-hour per the airport's ground-transport page), running to the downtown Transfer Plaza; Route 60, the East/West Connector, runs along International Speedway Blvd past the Speedway/One Daytona area (stops in the Midway/Tomoka Farms stretch of ISB) roughly every 30-60 min, Monday-Saturday. Honest caveat: because the airport and venue are only ~2 miles apart but the bus connection routes through the downtown Transfer Plaza, transit is the budget option, not the quick one, a rideshare is faster for the airport hop. Route 60 earns its keep for beachside/downtown lodging trips and as the DeLand (Amtrak) connector. Fares: $2.00 single ride, $4.00 one-day pass, payable onboard; multi-day passes online or at designated fare vendors. No Sunday service, note the festival's 2027 dates run Thursday-Sunday

The practical default here, because DAB and One Daytona are essentially neighbors, about 1.5-2 road miles, a ~5 minute drive. The airport's official ground-transportation page lists Yellow Cab, 4 Leaf Clover, American Taxi and Daytona Taxi, with taxis always available at the east end of the terminal outside baggage claim. Uber and Lyft both operate at DAB with curbside pickup and standard upfront pricing (no flat airport rate); No advance booking URL, hail in-app or at the taxi queue on arrival

A secondary option here, because the festival is sold as a bundled hotel+concert package rather than a standalone ticket, Airbnb mainly suits companions, extra nights, or anyone attending outside the package system. Good news on timing: the festival's late April/early May dates sit OUTSIDE Daytona's brutal surge windows (Daytona 500 in February and Bike Week in early March, when area nightly rates are reported to spike 300-500% over baseline), so expect ordinary Florida spring pricing. Inventory near the Speedway/ISB corridor is thin; most Daytona short-term-rental stock is beachside, ~5 miles east of the venue, fine with a car, awkward without

Niche fit for a seated, hotel-package smooth-jazz weekend, but it exists: Hipcamp's Daytona Beach directory lists private-land tent/RV sites, glamping and cabins around Volusia County (plus nearby state-park camping such as Tomoka State Park, ~10 miles north). All options require a car. Realistic use case: budget-minded couples pairing a Florida spring camping trip with drive-in concert evenings
