Transportation to Airport from Nairobi City Center
Jomo Kenyatta Intl. Airport
You can reach the airport from Nairobi city center by taxi or the airport shuttle service that is provided by your hotel. There are the minibuses called 'matatu' and the buses for the passengers who prefer public transportation. Renting a car is another transportation alternative you can prefer. You should keep in mind that the traffic in the city is particularly dense during the day, and you should set out early no matter which means of transportation you prefer.
Bus
You can get on the bus number 34 departing from the city center to reach the airport. Ticket price only costs 50 KES and your journey takes about 40 minutes.
Hotel Shuttle Services
Hotel shuttle services offered by the hotels are one of the most comfortable transportation alternatives if you don’t want to lose time with renting a car because it is necessary to bargain with taxi drivers and means of public transportation are troublesome. If your hotel provides this service, you need to contact your hotel in advance and make a reservation to take advantage of this service.
Taxi
Taking a taxi is generally a frequently preferred transportation option in the city. However, you should remember that you need to bargain for taxi fare. If you are going to take a taxi to reach the airport, you can ask your hotel to help you with this, so you can travel by a trusted and safer taxi. You can reach the airport in about half an hour by taking a taxi.
Matatu
In addition to the buses, matatu option is also available for those who prefer public transportation. You can reach the airport by these minibuses that are quite cheap, but you should keep in mind that you might have difficulty if you have lots of luggage because matatu minibuses are very crowded and the drivers usually drive fast and carelessly.
Rent a car
You can find the offices of many car rental companies in the city center. You need to drive straight through the A101 Mombasa road to reach the airport. If you are going to rent a car only to reach the airport, you can rent a car with a driver or you can rent a car from a company that has an office at the airport.
You should keep in mind that the traffic flows on the left side and the traffic rules are not very effective. You should also remember that the traffic is extremely heavy at certain times before deciding on the time you will leave.
Transportation to Davao City Center from Airport
Francisco Bangoy Intl. Airport
At Francisco Bangoy Airport, taxis are extensively used by the passengers to go to the city center. Those who want to use the public transportation vehicles can prefer the sympathetic Jeepney minibuses, which are specific to the city with stops outside the airport. Car rental companies at the airport, which are open for 24 hours, help those who would like to go to the city with a private car.
Taxi
Picking up passengers from the airport all day and helping them arrive at the city center comfortably, taxis are driven by educated and honest drivers. The drivers are not open to bargaining on the fare tariff, but they answer your question honestly when you ask them how much you are going to pay on average for the city center.
Jeepney
You can go to the city center more economically with the Jeepneys, which emerged as a result of the transformation of the old jeeps and the minibuses into public transportation vehicles in Davao. However, you have to come to the main road, which is so close to the airport that you can reach there in 5 minutes by walking, in order to take the Jeepneys.
Car Rental
If you would like to rent a car, you can head for the offices of Avis or Europcar at the airport. You can rent a car of any brand and model you wish from the car rental companies for a certain while, where documentation procedures are significantly practical. You should be careful not to exceed the time limit of delivery when you are renting the car for a long time. You may have to pay an extra amount to the companies, which are sensitive in this matter.
