Haiti Airport Transfer Guide (2026) - All Options & Tips
Plan your Haiti arrival with practical guidance on airport transfers. Find tips for sourcing reliable ground transportation and avoiding common scams.
We have not yet verified how travellers currently reach Haiti from the airport serving it, so we are not publishing routes, operators or fares we cannot stand behind. For what is running on the day you travel, the arrivals information published by your arrival airport is the reliable source, and your accommodation will usually know what works best for the hour you land.
Helpful Tips
Tap-taps are shared pickup trucks with fixed routes. Wave one down. Pay the conductor when you exit. Simple, cheap, and loud.
Download the local Digicel MonCash app to pay for moto-taxi rides without cash.
Route Nationale 1 is the main coastal highway. Buses and tap-taps to Cap-Haïtien depart from the Croix-des-Bouquets depot. Arrive early. Seats fill fast.
Moto-taxis are plentiful in Port-au-Prince, agree on the fare before you hop on.
Common Scams to Avoid
Unofficial porters at Toussaint Louverture International Airport grab bags from the carousel and demand inflated tips. Keep your luggage ticket handy, refuse unsolicited help, and insist on setting the tip yourself or walk to the taxi rank unassisted.
Taxi touts inside the arrivals hall quote flat 'airport rates' two to three times the standard fare. Bypass them, exit the terminal to the official taxi queue, and agree on a price or insist on the meter before loading luggage.
Currency-exchange booths just outside customs advertise 'no-fee' transactions but use a markedly poorer rate than banks in town. Change only a small amount for immediate needs and use ATMs or downtown banks for the bulk of your Haitian gourdes.
