Ground Transportation

Last updated: Jul 22, 2025
Taxis

Official, fixed-price taxis are available at a counter inside the arrivals hall. The journey to downtown Mandalay is about 45 km and takes approximately 60-90 minutes. Ride-hailing services like Grab are also a popular and convenient option, allowing you to book a car directly from your smartphone upon arrival.

Rental Cars

Several local car rental companies operate at the airport. It is highly recommended to book in advance, especially during peak season. While self-drive is possible (an International Driving Permit is usually required), it is more common and often more convenient to hire a car with a local driver for the duration of your stay.

Public Transportation

The most economical options are shared taxis and airport shuttle buses. Both can be booked at counters in the arrivals area. Shared taxis are minivans that wait to fill up with passengers going to the city center. Shuttle buses run on a schedule that often corresponds with flight arrivals and drop passengers at a central point in downtown Mandalay.
