How to get to Johannesburg International Airport by Taxi

Taxi Services at Johannesburg Airport

At Johannesburg Airport, the price of a taxi ride is set by a taximeter that figures out the fare based on how far the driver has to go. Depending on where you are going, it takes between 30 and 45 minutes to get from the airport to the city center. Everyone pays the same amount under this plan. The first few kilometers cost more, so the cost per kilometer decreases as the trip gets longer. It may be cheaper to take a longer trip, so that is an option.

How far it is from the Johannesburg airport to your hotel will significantly affect how much it will cost to get there. Transfers during the day cost about €42 to €53, and transfers at night cost about the same amount. It's important to remember that you may have to pay extra fees if you have too much luggage, travel during the holidays, or travel late at night.

Make sure to include these costs when you figure out how much your service fee will cost. It's best to book your taxi before you leave to get to and from Johannesburg Airport quickly and at no extra cost. With this method, you can be sure of how much it will cost, and there won't be any extra or unexpected costs. After you get off the plane and get your bags, you can find the central taxi waiting area at the airport by looking for signs or asking an airport worker for help.

The bright yellow lights on the tops of these taxis make them easy to spot. The taxi rank is right outside airport A and B buildings to make things as easy as possible.

For the safety of passengers, drivers offering rides inside the airport building should be avoided. Most likely, these taxis don't have licenses and may charge too much.
