Taxis

Airport taxis operate on a fixed-price coupon system. Passengers purchase a coupon from the official taxi counter inside the arrivals hall before proceeding to the taxi stand. Ride-hailing services like Grab are also widely available and are a popular, often more affordable, alternative.

Rental Cars

Several car rental companies, including both local and international brands like Hertz and Avis, have counters located in the arrivals hall. It is highly recommended to book a vehicle in advance, especially during peak travel seasons, to ensure availability and secure better rates.

Public Transportation

There are no direct public bus services operating from the Sandakan Airport terminal. The most convenient and practical options for reaching the city center or other destinations are by taxi, ride-hailing service, or a rental car. Catching a local bus would require walking to the main road outside the airport grounds, which is not recommended for travelers with luggage.
