Last updated: Jul 23, 2025
Taxis

Official airport-accredited taxis and private shuttle services are available outside the arrivals terminal. There are no metered taxis; fares to Windhoek are typically fixed, so it is crucial to agree on the price with the driver before the journey begins. The trip to the city center is about 45 km and takes approximately 30-45 minutes. Pre-booking a transfer is a common and reliable option.

Rental Cars

Multiple international and local car rental companies operate directly from the airport, with service desks located in the arrivals hall. Major providers include Avis, Hertz, Europcar, Budget, and local specialists. A wide variety of vehicles is available, from compact cars to 4x4s, which are popular for Namibian road trips. Booking in advance is highly recommended, especially during peak season.

Public Transportation

There is no conventional public bus or train system connecting the airport to Windhoek. The main shared transport option is pre-booked airport shuttle services. These services are run by private companies and will drop passengers off at various hotels and locations within the city. This is often the most economical choice for solo travelers or those without a rental car, but seats must be reserved in advance.
