Ground Transportation

Last updated: Jul 20, 2025
Taxis

The most common and recommended method is to pre-arrange an airport transfer directly with your hotel or tour operator. While some independent drivers may be available, there are no formal, metered taxi services. Pre-booking ensures safety and a fixed price.

Rental Cars

Car rental companies, including major brands like Avis and Hertz, operate in Mount Hagen, often with a presence at or near the airport. It is essential to book your vehicle, preferably a 4WD, well in advance. Due to challenging road conditions and security concerns, many visitors opt to hire a car with a local driver.

Public Transportation

Public Motor Vehicles (PMVs), which are local minibuses, are the main form of public transport in the region. However, they are generally not recommended for tourists or visitors arriving at the airport due to overcrowding, unpredictable schedules, and safety concerns. There is no formal public bus or train service connecting directly to the airport terminal.

A good airport, but too many rascals.
