Ground Transportation

Last updated: Jul 23, 2025
Taxis

Official airport taxis are the most common option and can be found outside the arrivals hall. It is crucial to agree on the fare with the driver in the local currency (Turkmenistan Manat - TMT) before starting your trip, as meters are not consistently used. Pre-booking a transfer through your hotel or a tour agency is also a reliable alternative.

Rental Cars

Self-drive car rental services from major international brands are not available in Turkmenistan. The standard practice for visitors is to hire a car with a local driver. This service must be arranged in advance, typically through a government-accredited tour operator or your hotel.

Public Transportation

Public buses connect the airport to various parts of Ashgabat and are the most economical option. Key routes like #1 and #22 serve the airport area. However, this option can be challenging for foreign visitors due to a lack of English signage and information on routes and schedules.

can duty free liquor purchased in UK be transferred via Ashg Posted by on April 7, 2011

I am flying to Amirtsar with T5 but not sure if duty free alcohol can be carried on to connecting flight in Ashgabat or it will need to be discarded under 100 ml liquid rule?
