Ground Transportation

Last updated: Jul 20, 2025
Taxis

Official metered airport taxis are available 24/7 at the taxi rank located outside the arrivals hall of Terminal 3. Additionally, ride-hailing services like Uber and Bolt are popular and fully operational, often providing a more cost-effective option. Passengers can use the apps to book a ride and meet their driver at designated pickup areas.

Rental Cars

Several international and local car rental companies have service desks within the arrivals hall. Major providers include Avis, Hertz, and Europcar, alongside reputable local firms. It is highly recommended to book a vehicle in advance, especially during peak travel seasons, to ensure availability and secure better rates. An international driving permit may be required in addition to your valid home country driver's license.

Public Transportation

Direct public transit connections from the terminal are limited. The primary form of public transport in Accra is the 'tro-tro' (shared minibuses), which are very affordable but can be challenging for first-time visitors with luggage. These do not have a formal stop inside the airport but can be accessed on the main roads just outside the airport area. For most visitors, taxis or rental cars are the more convenient option.

EXTREMELY UPSET ! WILL NOT RETURN TO GHANA AGAIN AND WILL SP Posted by on May 30, 2016

I just left Ghana yesterday 05/29/2016
my father had a stroke so i went to see him, when i was returning i bought just about 10 dashiki dresses and 2 purses, they stole half of everything ! even my jewelry
my bag weighted 17 kg when leaving, once i landed in Amsterdam and had to check the bag in again it weighed only 11 kg
Dear Ghanaian baggage handlers, please understand that what you did was very very wrong and thanks to you, your economy will be spoiled because good people like me will not come and spend their money only to have their goods stolen !! shame on you and shame on kotoka airport for not having any cameras knowing full well that they employ thieves !

I will be reporting this to the highest of authorities ! i have now installed a spy CAM in my luggage and will ensure whomever does this again is prosecuted to the fullest. Shame !

Limited food options Posted by david on June 2, 2015

There are limited food options inside airport security. There's a small snack bar with pastries (Danish, croissant, etc.) and meat pies (that will be microwaved), but not a lot else.

Accra Mall Posted by david on June 2, 2015

The Accra Mall (the biggest mall in West Africa, though small by North American/European standards) is only 2 km away, and getting there should cost about 10 cedi (~USD 3.00) in taxi fare. As always in Accra, negotiate the fare *before* you get in the cab β€” there are no metres β€” and don't feel bad if you end up paying a bit extra because you're obviously not local.
