Gate-side cash at BQK: single ATM in Terminal 1
Brunswick Golden Isles Airport is tiny, and there’s only one ATM in Terminal 1, past the single TSA checkpoint. If you land on the morning Delta flight from ATL and need cash for a taxi or tip, this machine is usually your only on-site option. It sits in the small post-security waiting area, a short walk from the lone gate used for departures and arrivals.
Hours match Terminal 1’s building hours, roughly 5:00 a.m. through the last Delta turn in the evening, since the ATM is in the public concourse space and not inside a locked shop. Most reports out of BQK mention card payments working fine in town, but smaller spots toward St. Simons Island and local shuttle drivers still like cash for shorter trips under $20.
Fees depend on your bank, but expect the machine to charge a standard out-of-network surcharge in the $2–$4 range per withdrawal. It usually dispenses $20 bills only, which matters if you’re planning to tip a hotel shuttle or pay a local cab from the airport to Brunswick, a ride that typically runs around $15–$25 before tip.
One tip: hit this ATM before you exit to the curb, since there’s no second machine by baggage claim and no other banking services anywhere on the BQK property.
