Taxis are readily available outside the airport's arrivals hall. The trip to the Golmud city center is approximately 12-14 km and usually takes around 20-30 minutes, depending on traffic. It is a convenient option for direct travel to your hotel or destination. Ensure the driver uses the meter.
Several Chinese car rental companies offer services, but it is strongly recommended to book in advance online. Note that renting and driving a car in mainland China requires a Chinese driver's license; an International Driving Permit (IDP) is not accepted for rentals.
An airport shuttle bus (机场大巴) provides service between the airport and the city center, with its schedule typically aligned with flight arrivals and departures. This is the most common and economical option. Additionally, local public bus Route 2 (2路) connects the airport with various parts of the city, including the train station.
