Ground Transportation

Last updated: Jul 24, 2025
Taxis

Taxis are readily available at the airport to meet arriving flights. Fares are generally not metered, so it is highly recommended to confirm the price with the driver for your destination (e.g., Luganville town or your resort) before starting the trip.

Rental Cars

Several local car rental companies operate on Espiritu Santo and can arrange for vehicle pickup and drop-off at the airport. Options often include 4WDs, which are useful for exploring the island's more rugged roads. Booking in advance is strongly advised, especially during peak tourist season.

Public Transportation

Public transport consists of privately-owned minibuses, which are the most common and affordable way to travel. These shared buses can be found at the airport around flight arrival times and will take passengers into the main town of Luganville. They operate on semi-fixed routes but can often be hailed like a shared taxi.
