Ground Transportation
Taxis
Official, authorized airport taxis are the most recommended and safest option. They are readily available outside the arrivals terminal. It is strongly advised to use the official taxi line and agree upon the fare with the driver before starting your journey to avoid overcharging.
Rental Cars
Several car rental companies have service desks located within the arrivals hall of the airport. Options typically include both local and international agencies. It is recommended to book your vehicle in advance, especially during peak travel seasons. A valid driver's license, passport, and a credit card for the security deposit are required.
Public Transportation
There are no formal, dedicated public bus or train services that directly connect La Chinita International Airport to the city center of Maracaibo. While local minibuses ('por puestos') may operate on routes near the airport, they are generally not recommended for tourists or visitors with luggage due to safety and convenience concerns.
