Ground Transportation

Last updated: Jul 21, 2025
Taxis

Official airport taxis are the most common and recommended option, available 24/7 outside the arrivals terminal. Fares to key locations like the city center or the Imam Ali Shrine are generally fixed, but it is wise to confirm the price with the driver before departure. Payment is typically in cash (Iraqi Dinar or sometimes USD). Look for the official taxi kiosk inside the terminal for regulated fares.

Rental Cars

A few local car rental agencies have counters within the airport's arrival hall. Major international rental brands have a very limited or non-existent presence. To rent a car, you will likely need your passport, a valid driver's license, and an International Driving Permit (IDP). Due to local driving conditions and security checkpoints, many visitors prefer hiring a car with a local driver.

Public Transportation

There are no dedicated public bus or train routes that directly serve Al Najaf International Airport. Public transit options are not designed for easy use by international travelers. The most reliable and practical methods for getting to and from the airport are taxis or pre-booked private car services.
