Ground Transportation
Taxis
Taxis are the most common mode of transport and are readily available outside the arrivals hall. It is highly recommended to agree on a fare with the driver before beginning your trip, as meters are not always used. Pre-booked airport transfers and hotel shuttles are also reliable options.
Rental Cars
Several car rental agencies have desks inside the airport's arrivals terminal. Major international companies such as Avis, Budget, and Europcar operate here. Booking a vehicle in advance online is advisable to ensure availability and potentially secure better pricing.
Public Transportation
There are no dedicated, scheduled public bus or train services that directly connect to Joshua Mqabuko Nkomo International Airport. Travelers seeking public transit would need to take a taxi to the city center to access local minibus taxis (kombis) and other bus services.
