Taxis are available at the airport, typically waiting to meet arriving flights. Many resorts also pre-arrange taxi transfers for their guests. It is advisable to agree on a fare with the driver before your journey begins, as meters are not always used.
A limited number of local car rental companies operate on Taveuni, offering primarily 4WD vehicles suitable for the island's roads. It is highly recommended to book your rental car well in advance. The rental company will usually arrange to meet you at the airport upon your arrival.
There are no formal, scheduled public bus services at Matei Airport. The main form of public transport is local 'carrier' buses (open-sided trucks with benches) that run along the main road. You can flag one down from the road outside the airport, but they operate on an informal schedule and are not ideal for travelers with large amounts of luggage.
