Ground Transportation

Last updated: Nov 21, 2025
Taxis

Taxis are readily available outside the arrivals hall. It is standard practice to negotiate and agree upon the fare with the driver before starting your journey, as meters are not commonly used. Ride-hailing services like Ulendo, Uber, and Bolt also operate in the area and can be booked via their respective mobile apps.

Rental Cars

Several car rental companies, including international brands like Avis and Europcar, have service desks located within the airport's arrivals hall. It is highly recommended to book your vehicle in advance to ensure availability and secure better rates. A valid driver's license, passport, and credit card are typically required.

Public Transportation

There are no formal, scheduled public bus or train services that connect directly to the airport terminal. The local public transport system consists of shared minibuses, but these do not have a designated stop at the airport and are generally not a practical option for travelers with luggage.
