Transportation to Airport from Belo Horizonte City Center
Pampulha Carlos Drummond De Andrade Airport
The distance between the city center and airport in Belo Horizonte, which is one of the most popular destination of Brazil, is 38 kilometers. Since this can be accepted as a long distance, travelling to the airport from the city center can be costly. In addition, it can take a little long time to arrive at the airport.
In Belo Horizonte, bus is among the most commonly preferred vehicles in terms of the transportation to the airport. The buses provided by private companies are among the most budget-friendly means of transportation on this route.
Passengers, who don’t want to use the buses, can benefit from other alternatives such as taxi and transfer vehicles for travelling to the airport from the center of Belo Horizonte without losing time. Private vehicles, car rental and limousines are also among the other transportation options that can be used for a more comfortable travel.
Bus
The cost of the buses, which carry passengers to the airport from Belo Horizonte center in about 1 hour, varies between 7-20 dollars. Unir and Conexao Contagem are among the airport bus companies that you can get on in the city center. You can travel to the airport by getting on a bus at the Belo Horizonte Bus Terminal located in the center or Alvares Cabral Terminal.
After reaching one of the departure points of the buses by metro, you can transfer to these vehicles and complete your travel in a comfortable way by getting off in front of the Belo Horizonte Airport terminal. Although buses are among the most budget-friendly transportation vehicles in the city, they are not as comfortable as taxis and private transfer vehicles.
Transfer Vehicle
Transfer vehicles, which pick up passengers in front of their hotels in Belo Horizonte center or from different addresses and carry them to the airport, generally offer three different vehicle options. You can choose one of the sedan vehicles which are smaller and carry less passengers or prefer a larger vehicle if you are travelling as a group. Travelling to the airport from the city center by using one of these vehicles generally costs 90 dollars. If you need to come from Bairros, this amount increases to 120-220 dollars. Likewise, if you take the road from Contage, you will need to pay around 150-220 dollars. Transfer vehicles generally offer service with their drivers, but you should receive detailed information about this service before completing the rental procedures.
Private Vehicle
Travelling to Belo Horizonte Airport by private vehicle is as fast and comfortable as other alternatives. However, you need to have information about the roads of the city. Another issue that you need to pay attention to in order to drive a car in Belo Horizonte is that you need to have an international driver’s license.
You can easily reach the airport by following the directions through the roads M10 and LMG 800. There is a large parking area at the airport.

All these companies have offices at Belo Horizonte Airport. In this way, you can travel to the airport by renting a car from one of these companies and deliver it to the office of the company at the airport. This is one of the advantages of renting a car. You should have a valid driver’s license with you in order not to have any trouble while renting a car in the city.

Transportation to Taif City Center from Airport
Taif Regional Airport
Taif is located on the slopes of the Sarawat Mountains in Mecca province of Saudi Arabia, which has rich ethnic roots and is home to the world's leading industrial and commercial centers. Taif is also referred to as Green Haven, thanks to its about 3,000 gardens. Taif is one of the most preferred cities in the Mecca region, one of the most visited places by tourists in terms of religious tourism, thanks to the developed transportation facilities and affordable accommodation options in the city. It is 150 kilometers away from the city of Mecca.
The most important feature distinguishing Taif from Mecca and Medina, which is the third largest city in Mecca province after Mecca and Jeddah, is that non-Muslim foreigners are allowed to enter the city. You will not have any difficulty in terms of transportation in Taif city, which is located in the western part of Saudi Arabia and in the south-east of Jeddah within the boundaries of the Mecca Administrative Region.
Taif's transportation networks have been extended to the Mecca province as a whole, and even to other parts of Saudi Arabia. There are intercity bus services between major cities in Saudi Arabia such as Riyadh, Jeddah, Mecca, Medina, Taif, Dammam, Abha, Naseem, Tebuk and Hael.
If you prefer to stay in Taif city center, you can go to other cities of Saudi Arabia with these services on daily basis. There are also local buses within the city, like intercity buses. Transportation within the city is very easy. City roads, rail systems, and highway connections allow you to get to any other point in the city as quickly as possible. You can also rent a car for a fixed period of time from the car rental companies for your transportation in Taif.
In fact, the most profitable, time-saving and easiest way to tour other parts of Saudi Arabia apart from Taif is renting a car. Access to the city is very easy thanks to the buses. Local buses within Taif city center are extremely comfortable and reach almost every point of the city. If you travel as a lonely woman on these buses, you must show your passport to the officers. This is because women throughout Saudi Arabia are banned from driving, traveling and accommodating alone. But if you are a tourist and you prove it, you can travel all by yourself.
In Taif city transportation there are many options such as cable car, car, bus and taxi. Because Taif is a bit smaller than other cities in Saudi Arabia, thus local buses are preferred rather than car rental and taxi options. Domestic or foreign tourists willing to travel with intercity trains need to purchase special seats reserved for ladies and families.
Taif Airport, which has direct flights from many parts of the world, is one of the busiest airports in Saudi Arabia. Approximately 30 kilometers east of the city center, Taif Airport has domestic flights to almost every city in Saudi Arabia.
Bus
There are buses directly from the airport to Taif city center. You can easily get to the city center by buses which are cheaper than the taxi. You can purchase your bus tickets online or at the ticket sales points located inside the terminal. You can travel to any point in the city with a bus that you can take from any stop at the exit of the Taif Airport arrival terminal.
It takes approximately 1 hour to get to the city by bus. Local buses, which have stops in many places of Taif, are the most preferred means of transportation for visitors of the city. As is the case throughout Saudi Arabia, few bus seats can be reserved for ladies and families within Taif city.
Traveling as a lonely woman on a bus requires special permission, which can be very difficult for Saudi Arabian citizens. As a lonely woman and tourist, if you want to travel in these buses, you would be asked to prove that you are a tourist by showing your passport.
Taxi
Taking a taxi is the most expensive way of travelling from Taif Airport to the city center. You can take this distance of 29.5 kilometers in approximately 30-35 minutes by taxi. From the airport to the center of Taif, you pay a taxi fare of 160-190 Suudi Riyali (130-150 TL). Of course, the price we specify in TL may vary depending on the changes between the Saudi Riyal and the Turkish Lira. It is more profitable to rent a car or take a bus instead of taking a taxi just outside of the arrival terminal of Taif Airport.
Car Rental
In almost every region of Saudi Arabia, women are prohibited from driving. Therefore, only male tourists can benefit from car rental option. If you rent a navigation device with your car, you can easily go to Taif and other major cities around.
You can reach the city center by the car you will rent from Taif Airport in approximately 20-25 minutes. In Saudi Arabia, oil is quite cheap compared to Turkey. Hence, one of the best options for your transportation is renting a car. On average, the amount you would pay for the oil to go to the city center from Taif Airport is approximately 1-2 TL.
