Taxis

Taxis and shared taxis, known locally as 'aluguers' or 'yasis', are readily available outside the terminal building, especially timed with flight arrivals. They are the most common way to get to the town of São Filipe and other destinations on the island. It is recommended to agree on the fare with the driver before beginning your trip.

Rental Cars

A few local car rental agencies offer services at the airport. It is highly advisable to book a vehicle in advance, as the fleet is limited on the island. A 4x4 vehicle is often recommended for exploring Fogo's volcanic terrain. Rental agents typically meet pre-booked customers upon arrival.

Public Transportation

There is no formal, scheduled public bus system that serves the airport directly. The closest equivalent is the 'aluguer' (shared minibus), which functions as the island's main public transport. You may be able to hail one on the main road near the airport, but they do not run on a fixed schedule and are a less direct option for travelers with luggage.
