Ground Transportation

Last updated: Nov 21, 2025
Taxis

Official airport taxis operate on a fixed-price coupon system. You can purchase a coupon from the counter in the arrivals hall before proceeding to the taxi stand. Ride-hailing services, such as Grab, are also a popular and readily available alternative for pick-up at the designated area.

Rental Cars

Several international and local car rental companies have counters located in the arrivals hall, including Hertz, Avis, and local providers. It is recommended to book in advance, especially during peak seasons. An international driving permit may be required along with your national license.

Public Transportation

An affordable airport bus service connects the airport (Terminal 1) to the city center, making stops at key locations like Centre Point Sabah and Padang Merdeka. The bus stop is located outside the main entrance. This is the most budget-friendly option, though services are less frequent than taxis.
