There is no heavy taxi traffic outside the airport, especially due to Grab and then the effect of the pandemic. Especially if you want to take a taxi, you can get help from the receptionist or you can use the taxi's own applications.
There is no Uber in Medan, but Gojek and Grab apps are widely used. Although journeys made with both applications are a more economical option than a taxi, it is possible to pay a high price if traffic jams.
