Ground Transportation

Last updated: Jul 21, 2025
Taxis

Several local taxi companies operate on the island and serve the airport. It is essential to pre-book your taxi in advance, as they do not typically wait at the terminal for arriving flights. Key providers include Islay Taxis and Carol's Cabs.

Rental Cars

Car rental is available at the airport through two main local companies: Islay Car Hire and D&N MacKenzie. Booking in advance is mandatory. Representatives will meet you at the airport upon your flight's arrival to hand over the keys to your pre-booked vehicle.

Public Transportation

A public bus service, operated by Islay Coaches, connects the airport with the main villages and ferry terminals. The 451 bus route serves the airport, providing links to Port Ellen, Bowmore, and Port Askaig. Timetables can be limited, especially on weekends, so it is highly recommended to check the current schedule in advance.
