Ground Transportation
Taxis
Taxis are readily available directly outside the arrivals hall. These are officially licensed airport taxis. It is recommended to confirm the fare with the driver before beginning your trip, as meters may not always be used. The journey to Suva's city center typically takes 30-45 minutes.
Rental Cars
Several car rental companies operate at Nausori Airport, with service desks located within the terminal building. Options include international brands like Avis, Budget, and Hertz, alongside local providers. Pre-booking your vehicle online is highly recommended, especially during peak season, to ensure availability and better rates.
Public Transportation
For a more economical option, public buses are available. Passengers must walk a short distance from the terminal to the main highway (Kings Road) to catch a bus. These buses run frequently and connect to the Suva bus station and other destinations along the route. This is a budget-friendly choice but may be inconvenient if traveling with a lot of luggage.
