Ground Transportation

Last updated: Jul 20, 2025
Taxis

Official, government-run yellow taxis with meters are available directly outside the terminals. Alternatively, you can use popular ride-hailing apps like RIDE and Feres, which often offer competitive pricing and can be booked via their mobile apps upon arrival. The older blue and white taxis are also present, but require negotiating the fare before starting your journey.

Rental Cars

Several car rental companies, including local agencies and some international brands, have desks inside the arrivals hall. It is highly recommended to book in advance for better rates and availability. Renting a car with a driver is a very common and practical option for visitors unfamiliar with local traffic conditions.

Public Transportation

Direct public transit from the airport terminal is limited. The city's public 'Anbessa' buses and shared minibuses operate on the main road (Bole Road), a short walk from the airport; they are very inexpensive but often crowded and challenging for visitors with luggage. The Addis Ababa Light Rail system's nearest station is a few kilometers away and requires a short taxi ride to access.
