Another option is to get a taxi from outside of the airport, just remember that almost everyone in the US expects tips, and taxi drivers are no different so make sure to give them one to save yourself a potentially annoyed driver. You can also take a shuttle or shared van from the airport, simply tell the driver where you want to go and he’ll add you to his route and tell you the price.
