Private taxis and cars for hire are the primary and most convenient mode of transport from Gilgit Airport. They are readily available outside the terminal upon flight arrival. Fares are not metered, so it is essential to negotiate and agree on a price with the driver before starting your journey. Ride-sharing services like Uber or Careem are not operational in Gilgit.
Major international car rental companies do not have counters at Gilgit Airport. Car rentals, typically including a driver (e.g., for a 4x4 vehicle like a Prado or a standard car), must be arranged in advance through local tour operators or private car hire services in Gilgit town. This is a popular option for tourists planning multi-day trips to surrounding valleys.
There is no direct public bus or airport shuttle service connecting Gilgit Airport to the city center. While local vans and shared jeeps operate within the city and to nearby towns, they do not have a fixed route that includes the airport, making them an impractical option for arriving passengers, especially those with luggage.
