Ground Transportation
Taxis
The safest option is to use the official, authorized airport taxis (UCAM), which are typically black Ford Explorers. To ensure a fixed, official rate and avoid scams, purchase a ticket at the taxi kiosk located inside the arrivals hall before exiting the terminal. It is strongly advised not to use unofficial taxis soliciting passengers outside.
Rental Cars
Several car rental companies, including Unirent and Aco Car Rental, have desks in the arrivals area. It is highly recommended to make reservations in advance. An international driving permit may be required in addition to your valid driver's license. Be prepared for varying vehicle availability and local driving conditions.
Public Transportation
Public buses connect the airport to Caracas, with routes to metro stations like Gato Negro and Parque Central. This is the most budget-friendly option, but it is often not recommended for international travelers, especially those with luggage, due to safety concerns and potential overcrowding. There is no direct metro or train line serving the airport.
