Ground Transportation

Last updated: Jul 21, 2025

Taxis

Airport taxis are the primary and most reliable mode of transport from the airport. They are readily available outside the arrivals terminal. Fares are not metered, so it is essential to negotiate and agree on a price with the driver before starting your trip. Ride-hailing services like Bolt may also be available, but their presence can be less consistent than official airport taxis.

Rental Cars

Several local car rental companies operate in Calabar and offer airport pick-up and drop-off services. It is highly recommended to book a vehicle in advance of your arrival. Major international rental brands do not have a significant presence with dedicated counters at the airport, so pre-booking with a local provider who will meet you is the standard procedure. Options for both self-drive and cars with a driver are typically available.

Public Transportation

There are no formal, scheduled public bus or train services that directly connect to Margaret Ekpo International Airport. The city's common public transport options, such as shared taxis and motorized tricycles (Keke Napep), do not operate on a fixed route to the airport terminal, making them an impractical option for arriving passengers, especially those with luggage.

Distances are approximate and calculated as straight-line distances.
