Getting from Banjul Airport to your hotel
Your options on arrival, what to check before you book, and how to plan around a late landing.
Your options on arrival
| Option | Good for | Watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Hotel pickup | First visits, late arrivals, families | Confirm the price and whether it's per car or per person |
| Pre-booked private transfer | A fixed price agreed before you travel | Meeting point, waiting time if delayed, cancellation terms |
| Tourist taxi at the airport | Flexibility if you haven't pre-booked | Agree the fare before the car moves |
What to check before you book
- The exact meeting point and the name or sign the driver will hold.
- Whether the price covers the whole car or each passenger, and whether luggage is limited.
- What happens if your flight is late. Does the driver track arrivals?
- Child seat availability, if you need one.
- A phone or WhatsApp contact that works from abroad.
Arrival planning
Send your hotel your flight number, not just your arrival time. Have your accommodation's address saved offline, and set up mobile data before you fly so you can message your driver from arrivals.
Journey times to the coast vary with traffic and time of day. Ask your provider for an estimate when you book.
