Ground Transportation

Last updated: Jul 21, 2025
Taxis

Official prepaid airport taxis are available from booths in the arrival hall, offering fixed rates to various city destinations. Ride-sharing services like Uber and Pathao are widely used and can be booked via their mobile apps for pickup at designated points outside the terminal. Traditional yellow taxis and CNG auto-rickshaws are also available, but it is crucial to negotiate the fare before starting your journey as meters are often not used.

Rental Cars

Several local and international car rental companies have desks in the arrivals hall. It is common and often recommended to rent a car with a driver included. Services can be booked on arrival, but pre-booking online is advisable for better rates and guaranteed availability. These services offer a range of vehicles for city travel or longer inter-city trips.

Public Transportation

The Dhaka Metro Rail (MRT Line-6) provides a modern and fast connection to the city; the nearest station can be reached via a short taxi or auto-rickshaw ride from the airport. There are also airport bus services connecting the airport to major hubs like Motijheel and Gulshan. While numerous local public buses stop on the main road outside the airport, they are often very crowded and can be challenging for visitors with luggage.

It is Improving! We are building our 3rd terminal soon. And we hope that VGHS will be the best airport in Asia in some years.

Having Difficulties! Posted by on February 22, 2013

I just back from Jeddah on last Monday and transit at HSIA airport, as we have around 6 hours transit time, we couldn't go anywhere instead mingle around the airport, enduring the mosquito bite is not a good things around this airport as it was stated as International airport.. One thing that I most regret is when the process of check in. That day I am having a bad flu/fever, I am a patient with Asthma Bronchitis problem, when they checking on me, they took my Vicks vaporax and another medical (liquid) but it was less then 20ml.. They even want to take my turbo haler. I told them not to take my turbo haler as it was my life support, if anything happen to me inside a plane how can I survive?? Only then they agreed not to take the turbo haler but still they took those two medicine. I was very upset! Inside the flight I was trembling all the way from Dhaka to Kuala Lumpur, I try to ask the cabin crew but they didn't have any oil to make me warm. It was a nightmare to me!! I will never going back to this airport again in the future!!!!!!!!
