Local taxis and motorcycle taxis (moto-taxis) are the primary transportation options available upon flight arrival. Fares are not metered and should be negotiated with the driver before starting your journey.
There are no major international or national car rental companies with offices at Kikwit Airport. Car hire, often with a driver, must be arranged in advance through local hotels or private operators in the city.
There is no formal, scheduled public transportation system like city buses or trains that directly serves the airport. The most common forms of local transit are informal shared taxis or minibuses, which can be found on the main roads but do not operate on a fixed schedule.
An interesting article in Vanity Fair's July 2007 issue called "Congo from the Cockpit" by pilot/writer William Langewiesche describes the runway as asphalt, but "jarring", as pilots have to "pick our holes". The article is definitely worth reading, as the conditions some of these pilots fly under are pretty extreme.
