Transportation from the City Center to Belize Airport
Belize Airport (Philip S. W. Goldson International Airport) is of vital importance in the country's tourism as the only international airport of Belize, a Caribbean country.
Although the city of Belize, which was the capital of the country in the past, has lost this title due to water rise and flood risk, it is still the most important and known city of the country. Despite this, your options are very limited to get to the airport from Belize city center, where public transportation is not very developed.
Among your options, there is a private transfer that you can book from the hotel you are staying in or from a professional tourism agency. With this transfer, it takes approximately 20 minutes to be picked up from the door of your hotel and dropped off at the airport, which is 15 km away.
Another option is to use taxis, which you can easily find from anywhere in the city. You can find taxis here, especially in touristic places and clustered around big hotels.
You can distinguish Belize taxis by their green license plates. Taxis here do not have taximeters, so you should definitely have talked about how much your trip will cost before you start your journey. You can also consider hiring a car, as it is a known fact that taxis in Belize are not very affordable means of transportation.
If you have rented a car, it is also very smart to deliver it at the airport. You can deliver the car to the rent-a-car companies that have offices in the airport parking lot and catch your flight immediately.
Considering that your passport and check-in procedures may take longer than usual in high season, it is useful to plan ahead. You may need to confirm with the airline whether the two hours required for international flights will be sufficient for your flight.

Although it is recommended to use white taxis as they are larger, more economical and the price is determined in advance, the choice is yours. In both taxi options, the journey time takes approximately 45 minutes. There is a 24-hour taxi service at Medellin Airport. The contact information of some taxi companies is:
