Ground Transportation

Last updated: Jul 24, 2025
Taxis

Taxis are readily available outside the arrivals hall. The journey to the capital city, Paramaribo, is approximately 45-50 km and takes about 60-90 minutes. Fares are typically fixed, but it is highly recommended to agree on the price with the driver before starting your trip. Both private taxis and shared taxis (which are more affordable) are common options.

Rental Cars

Several international and local car rental companies have service desks inside the arrivals terminal, including Avis, Budget, Hertz, and local providers like Ross Rental Cars. It is strongly advised to book your vehicle in advance for better rates and guaranteed availability. Note that in Suriname, traffic drives on the left-hand side of the road.

Public Transportation

There are no direct, scheduled public bus, train, or metro services connecting the airport to Paramaribo. While local public buses may pass on the main road near the airport, they are not a practical or recommended option for travelers with luggage due to infrequent schedules and lack of direct routes. The primary and most reliable options are taxis, pre-booked shuttles, or rental cars.

Why Johan Adolf Pengel International Airport don't have a row for childeren. After traveling for 9 hours with a child, you have also to line up for 2 hours. It's to bizarre.
