Airport-accredited taxis are readily available outside the arrivals hall. Fares are not metered, so it is essential to negotiate and agree on a price with the driver before the trip begins. Ride-hailing services like Uber and Bolt also operate in Owerri and can be used for pickups from the airport.
A number of local car hire companies provide rental services, which often come with the option of a professional driver. It is highly recommended to arrange car rentals in advance, either online or through your hotel, to ensure availability upon arrival. Major international rental chains may have limited or no presence at the airport terminal itself.
There are no formal, scheduled public bus or train services that connect directly to the Sam Mbakwe International Airport terminal. The primary and most reliable transportation options for travelers are taxis or pre-arranged car services.
