Taxis
Official airport taxis operate on a fixed-price coupon system. You can purchase a coupon at the designated counter inside the arrivals hall before proceeding to the taxi stand. Ride-sharing services, such as Loca and Grab, are also widely available and can be booked via their respective mobile apps for pickup.
Rental Cars
Several car rental agencies, including international brands like Avis and Sixt, have counters located within the arrivals terminal. It is advisable to book your vehicle in advance, especially during peak travel seasons. An International Driving Permit (IDP) is generally required in addition to your valid national driver's license.
Public Transportation
A public airport shuttle bus provides an affordable connection between the airport and various points in Vientiane's city center, including the Central Bus Station. The bus stop is located just outside the terminal building. This is the main form of public transit as there are no train or metro services connected to the airport.
