Ground Transportation
Taxis
Taxis and three-wheeled auto-rickshaws (known locally as 'bajajs') are the primary and most convenient way to get from the airport to the city. They are readily available outside the terminal building, especially after flight arrivals. Fares are not metered, so it is crucial to negotiate and agree on a price with the driver before beginning your trip.
Rental Cars
There are no international car rental agency desks located directly at Jimma Airport. Car rental services, which often come with a driver, must be arranged in advance. It is best to book through local tour operators, travel agencies, or your hotel in Jimma prior to your arrival.
Public Transportation
There is no formal, scheduled public bus service that directly connects to the Jimma Airport terminal. The city's public transport system relies on minibuses and bajajs that run on various routes, but you would need to walk from the airport to a main road to access them, which is not practical for most travelers with luggage.
