Ground Transportation

Last updated: Jul 23, 2025
Taxis

Official, fixed-rate taxis are the most recommended option. You can book and pre-pay at a designated counter inside the arrivals hall to avoid scams. Ride-sharing services like Uber and Bolt are also available for pickup at the airport and can be a competitive alternative.

Rental Cars

Several international and local car rental companies, including Hertz, Avis, Sixt, and Localiza, have service desks located within the arrivals hall. It is highly recommended to book your vehicle in advance online for better rates and to ensure availability. A valid driver's license, passport, and credit card are required.

Public Transportation

The most economical option is the local public bus (colectivo). Line 30-A ("Aeropuerto") connects the airport to the city center. The bus stop is located on the main avenue just outside the airport grounds. This option can be slow, crowded, and may not be suitable for travelers with a lot of luggage. Payment typically requires a local transport card (Jaha or MÁS), which can be difficult for tourists to acquire upon arrival.

SGAS actual location Posted by ronaldsr on September 10, 2023

While the actual location of SGAS is in Luque city, people commonly associate this airport with Asuncion. This association is reflected in its official IATA code, "ASU", and ICAO code, SGAS, where 'SG' stands for Paraguay and 'AS' for Asuncion. Therefore, I suggest to change location to Asuncion.
