Namibia Airport Transfer Guide - All Options & Prices

# Airport Transfer Options in Namibia Based on available data, there is currently limited information about standardized public airport transfer services in Namibia. For travelers arriving at Hosea Kutako International Airport (serving Windhoek) or other Namibian airports, the most reliable approach is to arrange transportation in advance through your accommodation or a tour operator. Many hotels and lodges in Namibia offer airport pickup services, which can be particularly valuable given the distances involved and the country's sparse public transport infrastructure. For current airport transfer options and pricing, we recommend using the booking widget below to check available services. Private transfers and rental cars are commonly used by visitors to Namibia, especially those planning to explore the country's national parks and remote areas. Given Namibia's vast distances and limited public transportation network, pre-booking your airport transfer is strongly advised to ensure a smooth arrival experience.

Book domestic flights well in advance as Air Namibia routes have limited frequency

Rent a 4x4 vehicle for exploring national parks and rural areas where roads are often unpaved

Carry extra water and fuel when driving long distances as service stations can be hundreds of kilometers apart

International visitors need an International Driving Permit along with their home license to rent and drive vehicles

Unofficial 'Helpers' at Hosea Kutako International Airport: Individuals may approach offering to help with luggage or directions, then demand payment. Avoid by politely declining unsolicited assistance and only using official airport porter services with visible identification badges.

Unlicensed Taxi Operators: Unofficial drivers may offer cheaper rides but lack proper licensing and insurance. Avoid by using only official airport taxi ranks, pre-booking through your accommodation, or using the airport's authorized transportation services. Verify the vehicle has proper taxi markings.

Inflated Currency Exchange Rates: Airport currency exchange services may offer poor rates or charge excessive fees. Avoid by withdrawing local currency (Namibian Dollar) from official ATMs inside the airport terminal, or exchange money at banks in Windhoek city center for better rates.
