Taxis

Prepaid taxi counters are located inside the arrivals hall, providing fixed-fare rides to various destinations in the city. App-based services like Ola and Uber are also widely available and offer a convenient option for booking a ride directly from your smartphone. The pickup points are located just outside the terminal building.

Rental Cars

Car rental services, often with the option of hiring a driver, can be pre-booked through various local travel agencies and online platforms. While dedicated international rental chain counters may not be present in the terminal, pre-arranged vehicles can be collected at the airport. It is advisable to book in advance for a seamless experience.

Public Transportation

Auto-rickshaws are a popular and cost-effective mode of transport readily available outside the airport premises for shorter distances. There are no direct metro or dedicated airport bus lines from the terminal. To connect to the city's bus network or the main Ranchi Railway Station (approximately 7 km away), taking a taxi or an auto-rickshaw is the most practical option.
