Ground Transportation
Taxis
The official and primary taxi service at the airport is 'Hello Taxi'. Their counter is located in the arrivals hall, and they operate 24/7 with fixed, pre-paid rates to various zones within Erbil. This is the most common and straightforward way to get into the city. Ride-sharing apps like Careem may also operate in the area, but the official airport taxis are the designated service directly outside the terminal.
Rental Cars
Several car rental agencies have desks inside the arrivals hall. These include international brands like Hertz and Avis, as well as local providers. To rent a vehicle, you will typically need a valid driver's license, an International Driving Permit (IDP is highly recommended), your passport, and a credit card for the deposit. It is advisable to book your car in advance, especially during peak travel seasons.
Public Transportation
There is no public bus or train system that directly serves Erbil International Airport. Travelers looking for transportation to the city center must use either the official airport taxi service or a pre-booked rental car. Public transit is not a viable option for getting to or from the airport.
