Taxis

Official airport taxis (Taxis Acacya is the authorized provider) are available 24/7 outside the arrivals hall. Fares to San Salvador are typically fixed, around $25-$35 USD. It is recommended to confirm the price before starting your trip. Ride-sharing services like Uber are also widely available for airport pickups and drop-offs.

Rental Cars

Several international car rental agencies have desks inside the arrivals terminal, including Alamo, Avis, Budget, Enterprise, Hertz, and National. It is advisable to book in advance, especially during peak travel seasons. A valid driver's license, passport, and credit card are required.

Public Transportation

Public bus route 138 connects the airport to San Salvador and is the most economical option. However, it can be crowded and is not ideal for travelers with a lot of luggage. A more convenient option is to arrange a pre-booked private or shared shuttle service, which many hotels and tour companies offer.
