Transportation from the City Center to Providenciales Airport
Selected as the best beach destination in the world in 2011 with its turquoise sea and tropical weather, Providenciales Island is a part of the Caicos Islands and the main international airport of the Turks and Caicos Islands is located here. The island's favorite resort area, Grace Bay, is 11 km from Providenciales Airport and since there is no public transportation on the island, it is necessary to reach the airport by taxi or private vehicle.
You can get to Providenciales Airport from Grace Bay in 10-15 minutes by calling a taxi to your hotel or location. Although taxi fares are fixed in Turks and Caicos Islands, be sure to confirm the fare beforehand because taxi drivers can request these fees by multiplying them by the number of people.
If you have rented a car to visit Providenciales Island, it is very easy to go to the airport with your own car. On the island, traffic flows from the left like Britain, but the traffic rules do not work. In particular, it is necessary to pay attention to other vehicles that suddenly stop on the road and drop passengers.
You can get to Providenciales Airport via the Leeward Highway. However, since the car rental companies usually deliver the car a little outside the airport, it is better to go early. After the delivery process is completed, the companies leave the passengers to the airport with a shuttle.
Apart from taxi and car rental options, you can also go to Providenciales Airport from Grace Bay by private transfer. Some hotels may include this service in their fees. If it is not included in your tour package, arranging a private transfer from a tour company such as Fast Track Transport is a very comfortable transportation method.
For this type of reservation, please specify your flight number and time so that you will be guaranteed to arrive at the airport on time. These companies greet you with your name at the airport and deliver you to your destination quickly.
Transportation from Kingston Airport to City Center
Kingston Airport, officially known as Norman Manley International Airport (KIN), serves the city of Kingston, the capital city of Jamaica. The most economical option to go from the airport to the city center is to take the 98 numbered Port Royal – City center bus.
This bus operates between 05.35 and 22.11 on weekdays, between 05.28 and 09.52 on Saturdays, and between 05.53 and 22.13 on Sundays and public holidays. You can check the stops and times of the bus on the official website of JUTC.
Another economical option is to use the private buses of the Knutsford Connect company. These large, air-conditioned buses arrive at Kingston Bus Terminal in New Kingston in approximately 30 minutes. You can find the times of reciprocal flights on the company's website.
While the two options above drop off their passengers at certain stops, shuttles like minibuses departing from the airport drop their passengers off at their hotels in the city center. Since these minibuses take off when they are full in direct proportion to their names, the waiting time can sometimes reach 45 minutes. You can recognize these vehicles by their red license plates and the PPV or JUTA letters on their license plates.
As you can rent a private shuttle service to your hotel from the same company, your hotel probably also has a shuttle service. By using this service, you will reach your hotel directly from the airport and you will not have to deal with anything else.
Kingston is a city rich in sights. You can reach your hotel in the city center by renting a car as soon as you land, and you will not have to find another means of transportation as long as you stay in the city. In addition to global brands such as Avis and Budget, there are offices of several local companies in the terminal building. You can find the full list of companies and their contact information on the boards at the airport and the information center.
