Ground Transportation

Taxis

Taxis are readily available outside the arrivals terminal. It is common practice to negotiate the fare with the driver before the trip begins, as most are not metered. Ride-hailing services like Uber and Bolt also operate in Eldoret and offer a reliable option for airport pickups, often with upfront pricing through the app.

Rental Cars

Several local and international car rental agencies operate at Eldoret International Airport. You can find their service desks within the arrivals hall. It is highly recommended to book a vehicle in advance online to ensure availability and secure better rates. A valid driver's license (an International Driving Permit is often recommended) and a credit card are typically required.

Public Transportation

There are no direct, scheduled public bus or train services from the airport terminal to the city center. The most common forms of local public transport are 'matatus' (minibuses) and 'boda-bodas' (motorcycle taxis). These can be found on the main road near the airport entrance and are the most economical option, though they may not be convenient for travelers with significant luggage.
