Ground Transportation

Last updated: Jul 23, 2025
Taxis

Taxis are the primary mode of transportation from the airport. They are readily available outside the arrivals terminal. Fares are not metered, so it is essential to negotiate and agree on a price with the driver before beginning your trip. It's advisable to have local currency (Congolese Francs) or small US dollar denominations for payment.

Rental Cars

A limited number of local and international car rental agencies serve the airport. It is highly recommended to book a vehicle well in advance of your arrival to ensure availability. Some services may require you to arrange for the car to be brought to the airport. Many hotels in Lubumbashi also offer private car or shuttle services for their guests.

Public Transportation

There are no formal, scheduled public transportation options like city buses or trains that directly connect Lubumbashi International Airport with the city center. The main options for travelers are taxis, pre-booked private shuttles, or rental cars.
