The airport is located about 35 kilometers from city center and for those driving their own vehicles, the airport provides parking facilities for both short- and long-term use.
Taxi
Taxis are one of the fastest and most convenient ways to reach King Khalid International Airport as typically takes 25-30 minutes to reach, depending on traffic conditions. They are widely available across Riyadh, and ride-hailing apps like Uber and Careem offer an additional option. Fares range depending on the pickup point and traffic.
Bus Services
Public buses connect the airport to various parts of Riyadh, including the city center. They typically operate during daytime hours, but schedules and routes should be confirmed at the airport information desk. Look for clearly marked bus stops at the arrivals area.
Metro
Riyadh metro system consists of six lines, connecting 85 stations. Line 4, or also known as the Yellow Line, runs from King Khalid International Airport to the King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD). Passengers opting for public transportation can use the metro, as it is available at the airport exits, and tickets can be obtained from machines at the station.
Hotel Shuttles
Many hotels in Riyadh provide transfer services to King Khalid International Airport. These services are convenient, reliable, and often affordable or free of charge, depending on your booking type. Travelers must confirm availability and costs with their hotel during booking. Hotel transfers are ideal for those who prefer a pre-arranged mode of transportation.
Rental Car
For those who prefer to drive themselves, renting a car is a flexible and comfortable alternative. Car rental offices are located throughout Riyadh, offering a variety of vehicles with or without a driver. The journey to the airport takes about 25–30 minutes, depending on traffic conditions. International visitors need a valid international driving license to rent a car in Saudi Arabia.
Transportation to Kigali City Center from Airport
Kigali Intl. Airport
When you arrive at Kigali Airport you will see taxi drivers inviting passengers to their taxis at the terminal exit. Airport taxis are one of the most practical vehicles you can choose to travel to Kigali city center. If the cost of airport taxis is too high, if you exit the terminal and walk for a few minutes you can stop the other taxi services operating in the area. Kiagali International Airport which is 5 kilometers from Kigali city center does not have public transportation vehicles such as buses. Because of this, taxis are the first alternative to the center. Car rental is ideal for travellers planning to spend a few days in and around Kigali.
Taxi
As soon as you step out of the terminal at Kigali International Airport, you will see taxi drivers inviting passengers to their taxis who want to take you to the city center. The journey to Kigali city center is short and comfortable way to travel but the cost of taxis may be a bit expensive. If you want to negotiate a little of the price you can try your luck, but if you are planning to spend more time in the city, you can rent a car from the terminal. You can find a vehicle to travel to Kigali city center by leaving the airport, but this option is not recommended for security reasons especially for those who are travelling to Kigali for the first time. 3 or 4 people that are travelling together can travel in the same taxi. 5 or more passengers travelling together can rent a vehicle suitable for more crowded groups and travel that way to Kigali city center.
Rent a Car
After you have landed at Kigali International Airport you can find car rental alternatives in the terminal. Visitors travelling to the area for the first time can rent a car or speak with their hotel in advance to find a suitable service vehicle that will bring them to Kigali city center. The terminals at Kigali International Airport are very close to each other, so you can walk from one terminal to another. After renting a car it maybe a bit confusing at first, so be sure to get a map that shows the routes in the area in detail so that you can find your way around the Kigali roads more easily.
Motorcycle Taxi
At the exit of Kigali International Airport you can see motorcycle taxis that serve the area. Motorcycle taxis are cheaper than classic taxis but they are not very comfortable. However, those who want a more economical vehicle can get to Kigali city center quickly by the motorcycle taxis. Remember that motorcycle taxis are vehicles that can not take passengers with heavy luggage.
