Ground Transportation

Last updated: Nov 21, 2025
Taxis

Taxis and pre-booked airport shuttles are available directly outside the arrivals hall. Several local taxi companies operate on the island. While you can usually find one upon arrival, pre-booking with your accommodation or a taxi company is highly recommended, especially for late-night or early-morning flights to ensure availability.

Rental Cars

Multiple car and scooter rental companies have service desks inside the airport's arrivals terminal, including well-known providers like Avis, Polynesian Rental Cars, and Island Car & Bike Hire. It is strongly advised to book your vehicle in advance, particularly during peak season. To drive, you will need to obtain a local visitor's driver's license, which can often be issued by the rental company upon presentation of your home country's license.

Public Transportation

Rarotonga's public transit is the 'Cook's Island Bus'. It runs two circular routes: 'Clockwise' and 'Anti-Clockwise'. The bus stop is a short walk from the terminal on the main road. The service is reliable during the day but has a more limited schedule in the evenings and on Sundays, so it may not be a viable option for all flight arrival or departure times.
