Transportation to Airport from Benin City City Center
Benin Airport
TRANSPORTATION TO THE AIRPORT FROM BENIN CITY CENTER
The city center of Benin City is located approximately 6 kilometers away from the city's airport. You can travel to the airport by using a taxi or airport shuttle that you can find without difficulty in almost every point of the city center which is not too big. Another means of transportation that the visitors of the city can use for this travel is hotel shuttle. These services, which are usually provided by big hotels, offer service for their guests at certain hours of the day as a more economical and comfortable transportation option to the airport.
Private Shuttle
Private shuttles are among the alternatives that carry passengers from the city center to Benin Airport. However, they do not offer a comfortable alternative like door-to-door taxis or hotel shuttles. If your hotel is close to the center and you do not have much items to carry along the road, you can come to Benin Airport by using a private shuttle departing from central locations. The prices of these transportation vehicles are usually not too high, but you can learn the transportation fee from the shuttle driver to the airport before getting on the vehicle.
Hotel Shuttle
Many big hotels in the city center of Benin City offer their passengers the opportunity to reach the airport from the center with hotel shuttles. To benefit from this service, you should first get information about the shuttles of your hotel and complete your reservation if necessary. By using a hotel shuttle, you can reach the airport after a comfortable travel experience.
Taxi
In Benin City, taxi is one of the most preferred vehicles for the transportation from the city center to the airport. If you need to hurry up to catch your plane, you can take a taxi to save time. The fact that the airport is located only 6 kilometers from the center makes the taxis in the city one of the budget-friendly options for this distance. If you need to travel to the center from a distant region, you may have difficulty in finding a taxi. Although there are many taxis at the central points of the city, the number of vehicles can decrease as you move away from the center. If you are traveling alone in the city, you should definitely choose one of the licensed vehicles to be safe. Some regions may not be very safe late especially at night hours. You can also choose to travel with one of the local guides for a more comfortable and trouble-free journey.
Car Rental
Although renting a car from one of the local car rental companies offering service in the city, it is not much preferred. If you are planning to travel to different centers around the city, you can rent a car to reach these places and then deliver the car at the airport by informing the rental company. Renting a car in the city is usually easy and does not take long, but keep in mind that you must have an international driver's license to rent a car in the city.
Airport Information
There are direct flights to cities such as Abuja and Lagos from the airport which is located approximately 6 kilometers southwest of Benin city center. At the airport, which can be considered small in general, there are not many services apart from the passenger lounges and waiting areas. At the airport, there is also an area where you can leave your items and a small buffet that you can stop by for your eating and drinking needs before or after your flight.
Transportation to Nicosia City Center from Airport
Ercan Intl. Airport
Ercan Airport is 23 kilometers from the capital Lefkoşa (Nicosia), 44 km from Girne, 50 km from Magosa and 62 km from Güzelyurt. You can benefit from KIBHAS airport shuttle service, which has been serving for 6 years, to reach the city center from the airport because there is not a developed transportation system in the island. You can also choose from taxi, airport transfer companies and car rental option.
If you have booked your accommodation in advance, it would be useful to ask if your hotel can arrange airport transfer or not. There are some hotels that provide free airport transfer according to the number of passengers.
KIBHAS Airport Shuttle Services
These shuttle buses, which have been serving since February 2009, take the airport passengers to the bus stations in Nicosia, Girne, Magosa, Güzelyurt and Lefke from morning till midnight. Once you arrive at the bus station, you can go wherever you will be staying by taxi or minibus departing from there. This shuttle service is the cheapest way to get to the city center or wherever you want from the airport.
KIBHAS shuttle services officially serve only between the airport and bus terminals, but they can also drop you off at a point on the route on your request. Before getting on the shuttle, you can ask the shuttle driver about this detail or you can find out about it during your reservation. You can book by phone before you arrive at the airport.
KIBHAS suttles departing from Ercan Airport to Girne and Nicosia run for 12 times from 08.10 till 00.30. The number of the shuttles to other destinations is less frequent. KIPHAS shuttles to Güzelyurt and Lefke serve 7 times a day between 09.30 and 00.30 and the shuttles to Magosa serve 9 times a day from 08:10 to 00:30. Departure times may vary and the waiting times between the shuttle services are different for each service. You can easily see the KIPHAS building when you go out the incoming passenger terminal.
Taxi
Taxi fares at Ercan Airport might be a bit more expensive compared to the fares in Turkey. However, if you want to take a taxi, do not forget to bargain with the driver and make a comparison. With KIBHAS shuttles coming into service, demand for taxi has decreased and so, taxi drivers may reduce taxi fares considerably. You can be prepared by online searching for the offers of the companies for taxi fares to reach your destination. Also, if you are traveling with a few people and when you compare the per passenger shuttle charges, taking a taxi may be a more practical and convenient option, though the same advantage does not apply to taxi fare. Please note that the TRNC taxis can take up to 3 passengers as required by law.
Airport Transfer Companies
You can also benefit from the vehicles of the companies that provide airport transfer service to reach the city center or the hotels from the airport by making a reservation in advance. Especially if you are traveling in groups, the transportation service provided by these may also be more suitable for you in terms of price. These vehicles meet you at the airport upon your arrival and ensure you to reach your destination without waiting. Before boarding the plane, you can make a quick online search and make a reservation in advance or you can ask your hotel to arrange such a service.
Rent a car
Car rental prices in Cyprus are particularly convenient if you are going to rent a car for 3 or more days compared to Turkey. So are the fuel prices! Moreover, you can find many parking places which you don’t have to pay for. For this reason, renting a car is one of the preferred options for sightseeing in Cyprus. By renting a car, you can be more flexible during your trip and you can travel all over the island, which is not already very big. However, the traffic flows in the reverse direction (left) compared to Turkey and there are the right hand drive cars. For some people, this requires an adaptation process, especially at first. It would be useful to rent a car keeping this in mind. It is also important to remember that the automatic cars make it easier to get used to this adaptation process.
If you plan to travel from the airport by renting a car, we advise you to book in advance. As it is a common and preferred method in the island, you may have difficulty in finding a convenient car at the airport. To rent a car, you must be over 25 years old and have a Turkish Republic driving license. Ercan Airport has a car park reserved for rental cars. Many car rental companies use this car park. You can pick up and deliver your car at the same parking area. The car rental companies in Cyprus are usually local enterprises.
