Taxis

Taxis are readily available outside the arrivals terminal. They are the primary method for getting from the airport to the ferry terminal (barge) to cross to the main island, Grande-Terre. Fares are typically negotiated, so it is recommended to agree on the price with the driver before your trip.

Rental Cars

Several car rental agencies have desks within the airport terminal, including international brands like Europcar, Sixt, and Hertz, along with local providers. Booking a car in advance is highly recommended, especially during peak tourist seasons, to ensure availability.

Public Transportation

There is no direct public bus or train service from the airport. The main public transport system involves taking a taxi to the nearby ferry terminal. The ferry, known as 'the barge,' connects Petite-Terre (the airport's island) to Grande-Terre (the main island). From Grande-Terre, you can access the network of shared minibuses ('taxi-brousse') that serve the rest of the island.
