Transportation from the City Center to Spriggs Payne Airport
Spriggs Payne, or James Spriggs Payne Airport with its long name, is one of the two airports serving the capital city of Liberia, Monrovia. The fact that it is only 7 km away from the city center makes it a preferred airport.
Although the distance between Spriggs Payne Airport and the city center is 7 km, there is no public transportation option towards the airport. Your only chance for this journey is a taxi or private transfer. Therefore, you must allocate a budget for round-trip transportation between the city center and the airport.
The airport is only 7 km from the city center of Monrovia. It takes about 10 minutes for your journey. In Monrovia, taxis collect passengers from the road, which is actually similar to our minibuses. Events such as robbery and pickpocketing can happen in crowded taxis.
For your safety, either get the contact information of a taxi driver from someone who has traveled to Monrovia before, or tell the driver that you want to travel alone and assume the cost of the entire journey yourself. If you are on your own and you can trust, you can also take a motorcycle taxi to the airport.
Although there is no Uber application in Liberia yet, an application called Hannk provides a similar service. Since this company is not well known yet, it is useful to take a look at the comments and experiences about the application before using it.
In the city, your other option other than taxi is private transfer for transportation between the city center and the airport. Your best bet for this is to arrange a transfer through them if the hotel you are staying at offers a transfer service. If that is not an option, find a reliable company from known websites. If you have come to Monrovia for business, you can ask your colleagues here to drop you off at the airport.
