Ground Transportation

Last updated: Nov 21, 2025
Taxis

Taxis are readily available outside the terminal. For safety and transparent pricing, it is highly recommended to use popular ride-hailing apps like Uber, Bolt, or Little, which operate extensively in Nairobi and serve the airport. You can also use the official airport taxis; be sure to agree on the fare before your trip begins.

Rental Cars

Several car rental companies serve Wilson Airport, including major brands like Avis and Europcar, as well as local providers. While they may not have physical counters inside the small terminal, services can be pre-booked online. Companies typically offer a 'meet and greet' service, where an agent will meet you at the arrivals area with your vehicle.

Public Transportation

There are no direct public bus or train services connecting to the Wilson Airport terminal. The nearest public transport option is the 'matatu' (minibus) network on the main Lang'ata Road, a short walk from the airport entrance. This option is generally not recommended for visitors, especially those with luggage, as it can be crowded and difficult to navigate for newcomers.
