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 Nassau Airport to City Center
There are not many transportation options from Nassau Airport to the city center. It is possible to reach Nassau city center from the airport by taxi and car rental options. Since Nassau Airport is a short distance from the city center, it is possible to go to the city center in 15 minutes.
You can go to Nassau city center at any time of the day by using the taxis at the exit of Nassau Airport. Taxi fares are high because there is no public transportation alternative to go to the city center. We recommend that you negotiate the fare with the taxi driver before getting in the taxi.
If you plan to stay for a few days in Nassau, which is weak in public transportation, you can use the car rental service to provide comfortable transportation during your trip. You can rent your car by choosing the package that suits your budget from the car rental companies at the airport.
