Car rental options are limited directly at the airport terminal. It is highly recommended to pre-book a vehicle through a local car hire company or arrange a private driver service in advance. Some hotels in Sokoto may also offer airport pickup and car rental arrangements for their guests.
There are no formal, scheduled public bus or train services that connect directly to Sadiq Abubakar III International Airport. The primary methods for getting to and from the city are taxis or pre-arranged private vehicles.
