Ground Transportation

Last updated: Nov 21, 2025
Taxis

Taxis are readily available directly outside the arrivals terminal. Fares to the main town of Sal Rei and the major hotel resorts are generally fixed. It is recommended to confirm the price with the driver before beginning your trip.

Rental Cars

Several car rental agencies, including local and international brands, have desks inside the arrivals hall. A range of vehicles is available, but renting a 4x4 pickup or SUV is highly recommended for exploring the island's many unpaved and sandy roads. Booking in advance, especially during peak season, is advisable.

Public Transportation

There is no scheduled public bus service that directly serves Rabil Airport. The island's main form of public transport is the 'aluguer' (a shared minibus or pickup truck), but these do not operate on a fixed schedule from the airport and are not a convenient option for arriving travelers with luggage. Many large hotels provide pre-booked shuttle bus transfers for their guests.
