Taxis are the most common and readily available option outside the arrivals terminal. Fares are not metered, so it is essential to negotiate and agree on a price with the driver *before* getting into the vehicle. It's helpful to have your destination address written down. Both standard car taxis and moto-taxis (motorcycle taxis) are available, though cars are recommended for travelers with luggage.
A few local and international car rental agencies operate at the airport, though it is strongly recommended to reserve a vehicle in advance. A company representative will typically meet you upon arrival. An International Driving Permit is often required along with your valid driver's license. Be advised that driving conditions in and around Cap-Haïtien can be challenging for visitors unfamiliar with local traffic patterns and road quality.
There is no formal public bus or train system that serves the airport. The local form of public transit is the 'tap-tap' (colorfully decorated trucks or buses), which follows semi-fixed routes. However, this option is generally not practical for arriving tourists with luggage. The most reliable alternative is to pre-arrange an airport transfer or shuttle service directly with your hotel.
Private GA relief flights are landing here to clear customs, instead of at PAP:
