Ground Transportation

Last updated: Jul 21, 2025
Taxis

Official airport taxi services are available 24/7 at counters located in the arrivals hall of Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, offering fixed rates to the city center. Ride-hailing apps, such as Yandex Go, are also a popular and convenient option and can be used for pickups outside the terminal buildings. The journey to the city center typically takes 20-30 minutes.

Rental Cars

Several international and local car rental companies, including Avis and Hertz, have service desks in the arrivals area of Terminal 1. It is recommended to book a vehicle in advance, especially during peak seasons. Renters will typically need a valid passport, driver's license, an International Driving Permit (IDP), and a credit card for the security deposit.

Public Transportation

The most economical way to reach the city is by public bus. Bus routes #10 and #12 connect the airport with key locations in Astana, including the city center and the "Nurly Zhol" railway station. Buses run frequently from early morning until late at night. The bus stop is located directly outside the airport terminals. Payment can be made in cash to the driver or with a local transport card.

NIGHT FLIGHTS RECOMMENDED Posted by babtek on February 17, 2016

A very good landing and rising view from your window at night.
