Rental Cars

Several car rental companies have service desks inside the airport terminal. Major international providers such as Sixt and Europcar, along with the local agency SyltCar.com, are represented. Pre-booking is highly recommended, especially during peak travel seasons.

Public Transportation

The island's public bus network, operated by Sylter Verkehrsgesellschaft (SVG), connects the airport to the rest of Sylt.
