Official, metered airport taxis are available 24/7 from the taxi rank located directly outside the arrivals terminal. Ride-hailing services like Uber and Bolt also operate from the airport, with designated pick-up zones. For safety, it is recommended to only use official taxis or reputable app-based services.

Rental Cars

Major car rental companies, including Avis, Hertz, Europcar, Budget, and Sixt, have service desks inside the arrivals terminal. Vehicles can be collected from and returned to the dedicated rental car parkade, which is a short walk from the terminal. Pre-booking is highly recommended, especially during peak seasons.

Public Transportation

Public transport is primarily limited to private shuttle bus services. Several companies offer pre-booked transfers to major hotels and key destinations in Durban, Umhlanga, and the surrounding coastal areas. There is no direct public city bus or train service connecting the airport to the city center.
