Ground Transportation
Taxis
Taxis are available 24/7 at the designated taxi stand outside the arrivals hall. All taxis are metered and regulated. Fares are in Macau Pataca (MOP), though Hong Kong Dollars (HKD) are widely accepted. Surcharges apply for airport pickups, luggage stored in the trunk, and travel across bridges.
Rental Cars
Car rental counters, such as Avis, can be found in the arrivals hall. Renters typically need a valid passport, an International Driving Permit, and a credit card. Given Macau's compact size, excellent public transport, and challenging driving conditions with limited parking, renting a car is often considered less convenient than other options.
Public Transportation
The airport is well-served by public transit.
- Hotel Shuttles: Most major hotels and resorts offer complimentary shuttle buses, found at the north side of the terminal parking lot.
- Public Buses: Several public bus routes (e.g., AP1, AP1X, MT4, 26) connect the airport to the Macau Peninsula, Taipa, and Cotai. Payment requires exact cash or a Macau Pass.
- Macau Light Rail Transit (LRT): The 'Airport Station' on the Taipa Line offers a direct connection to the Cotai Strip and the Taipa Ferry Terminal.
