Taxis

Taxis are available from a rank located directly outside the main terminal building. Local companies serve the airport, and while taxis often meet scheduled flights, it is highly recommended to pre-book your journey, especially for late arrivals or during the busy tourist season, to ensure availability.

Rental Cars

Car rental is a popular option for exploring Shetland. Desks for local providers like Bolts Car Hire and Star Rent-A-Car are located within the airport terminal. Due to high demand and limited vehicle numbers, booking your rental car well in advance is essential, particularly during peak travel periods.

Public Transportation

A public bus service connects Sumburgh Airport to Lerwick, Shetland's main town. The bus stop is situated just outside the terminal entrance. The service (typically Route 6) is operated by ZetTrans and its timetable is designed to align with most flight arrivals and departures. It is advisable to check the current schedule online before you travel.
