Taxis are the most common option and are typically waiting at the airport to meet arriving flights. They offer direct service to hotels and resorts in Placencia Village, Seine Bight, and Maya Beach. It is advisable to agree on the fare with the driver before your journey begins.
Several local car rental companies operate in Placencia, but they do not have service counters within the airport terminal itself. To rent a car, you must book in advance. The rental company will then arrange to meet you at the airport with your vehicle. Golf carts are also a very popular rental option for getting around the peninsula and can often be delivered to the airport upon arrival.
There is no direct public bus stop at the Placencia Airport. To access the local bus service that runs along the peninsula, you would need to walk for about 10-15 minutes to the main Placencia Road or take a short taxi ride. This is generally the least convenient option for arriving travelers, especially with luggage.
