Transportation from the City Center to Aruba Airport

Aruba is a tiny island country in the Caribbean. Aruba Airport, or officially Queen Beatrix International Airport, is the main airport of this small island country. The most economical way to get to the city center from here is to use the city buses.

Almost all lines of the Arubus company, which provides public transportation services to Aruba, go to the Oranjestad stop via the airport. Bus number 8, which you will take from the Aruba stop in the city center, takes you through the Barcadera and Pos Chiquitos stops and leaves you at the airport stop. Depending on the traffic situation, it takes 10-20 minutes to reach the airport. The bus runs from 06:00 to midnight. It departs every 15 minutes until 20:00, hourly after 20:40. On Sundays, these hours become less frequent. For direct information about the bus, you can check the official website of Arabus public transportation company.

For now, Uber or a similar application does not provide services in Aruba. In this context, if you are going to use a taxi, your only option is to use regular taxis. Fortunately, there is a pre-determined flat fee for each destination.

Aruba Airport's official website has an informative section on average distances and, accordingly, what the taxi fare will be. Before getting into the taxi, you can check the taxi fares list on the website and even show it to the driver in case of a dispute.

The airport is only 2.5 km from the city and you can cover this distance in five minutes under normal traffic conditions.

One option is to hire a professional airport transfer. Most hotels offer this service for a fee or free of charge. If you can't get this service from your hotel, it's easy to find a reliable transfer from websites like Tripadvisor or Viator.

Transportation from Curaçao Airport to the City Center

Curaçao or Hato International Airport is the only airport of Curaçao Island and is located approximately 12 km from the capital, Willemstad.

You don't have many options to go to Curaçao city center from Curaçao Airport. Therefore, the first thing you should do is check whether the hotel you are staying at offers free airport shuttle service. If they do, you're lucky, if they don't, your remaining options are taxis or local buses.

From here you can take the buses called Konvoii. These buses go from the airport to Otrobanda and Punda, which are neighborhoods of the city of Willemstad. At the last stop of the bus, you can find vehicles going to other parts of the island, and you can go further by changing vehicles. You can pay the ticket price on the bus to the driver in cash. The distance between them is 15 kilometers on average and the journey takes about 40 minutes.

The routes and timetables of these buses are written on the signs at the bus stops. However, you can assume that the flights operate every hour between 07.00 in the morning and 23.00 in the evening on weekdays and less frequently on weekends.

You can also use the minibuses that go to the crowded parts of the island by going to the main road. You can recognize these minibuses by the word BUS on their plates. There is also a sign on the window of the minibus, just like in our minibuses, with the route it goes on, and they stop when you raise your hand. The ticket fee is paid in cash and to the driver.

As of 2022, when this article was written, Uber or a similar transportation app is not working in Curaçao yet. That's why your only option is local taxis. You can find a 24/7 taxi from the airport to the city centre. Although taxis here do not have a taximeter, there are predetermined amounts for certain routes. That's why you have to ask how much you will pay and agree on the price before you get in the taxi.

The distance of 15 km takes about 20 minutes. It is worth noting that if you take a taxi between 23.00 and 06.00 in the morning, or if you take a taxi with more than 4 people, the taxi fare increases by 25 percent and the drivers expect a 10 percent tip in addition to the taxi fare.
