Ground Transportation

Last updated: Jul 22, 2025
Taxis

Taxis are readily available 24/7 outside the arrivals terminal. Fares to major destinations like Santa Maria are typically fixed, so it is highly recommended to agree on the price with the driver before starting your journey. A trip to Santa Maria usually costs around €10-€15.

Rental Cars

Several car rental agencies, including international and local companies, have desks inside the arrivals hall. Renting a car offers flexibility for exploring the island of Sal at your own pace. It is advisable to book in advance, especially during peak tourist season.

Public Transportation

There are no formal public bus or train services from the airport. The primary form of public transit is the 'aluguer,' which are shared minibuses or pick-up trucks. This is the most economical option, but it is less convenient for travelers with luggage as they do not run on a fixed schedule and may require a short walk to the main road to be flagged down.
