Taxis are the primary mode of transportation available at the airport. These are typically private vehicles, and it is crucial to negotiate and agree on the fare with the driver before starting your journey as meters are not used. For security and reliability, it is highly recommended to use a pre-arranged taxi or a trusted driver recommended by your local contact or hotel.

Standard international car rental companies do not operate at Kandahar Airport. Self-drive rentals are generally unavailable and not recommended for foreign visitors due to security concerns and local driving conditions.
