Search Flights from Bujumbura to Jeddah

There are options such as taxi, tuk-tuk, private shuttles and car rental for those traveling from city center and other nearby settlements to Bujumbura International Airport. Taxis, one of the most practical methods of traveling to the airport from the center, are also among the means of transportation that can be easily found. In order to make benefit of private shuttles, you have to search and book in advance and talk with the company about details such as the number of passengers and fares. The tuk-tuk, which is widely used in many African cities and takes up to two passengers, could be another way of traveling to the airport. Tuk-tuk is also very fast, but it is not possible to carry many suitcases with these means. Finally, you can choose to come to the airport by renting a car from the center of the city, but this stands out as an extremely challenging option as the traffic can be extremely complicated.

Taxi 

It is generally not too difficult to find a taxi in the center of Bujumbura, capital of Burundi. In the center of the city you can find a taxi to take you to the airport in a very short time. The amount you need to pay for the taxi for going to Bujumbura International Airport from the center is 20 dollars on average. The total amount would not change significantly if you pay in Burundi's local currency, but you can still travel at a more affordable price this way. Taxis are taking their passengers directly to the front of the airport terminal. This means that these vehicles are extremely practical for carrying your suitcases comfortably. However, taxis can cause you to lose time because of the very complicated traffic of Bujumbura. If you are in a rush and you do not have too much luggage, you can use the vehicles known as a tuk-tuk instead of a taxi.

Tuk-tuk

The motor-like vehicles that can carry a maximum of two passengers are known in the city as tuk-tuk. Tuk-tuk is one of the fastest vehicles to be preferred in Bujumbura to get to the airport. These vehicles, which are usually not struggling in traffic thanks to their small size, are also very affordable. You can travel from the airport to the city center with a tuk-tuk for only a few dollars or a similar amount of the local currency. At the same time, Tuk-tuk allows passengers who are in a rush to get to the airport quickly; however the low passenger and baggage capacities of these vehicles are among the main reasons why taxis are often preferred to get from the city center to the airport.

Car Rental

Bujumbura does not offer different and rich alternatives especially with regards to international car rental companies. However, you can still rent a car by choosing one of the local rental companies in the city. The extremely complicated and tight traffic conditions and the fact that traffic is generally not complied with the rules are among the main factors that lead passengers to rent a car. Generally it would do enough in order to deliver your car at the airport when you come here after renting it from the city center to inform the car rental company in advance. If you are not very well informed about the roads in Bujumbura, you can travel with a local guide or take advantage of the navigation devices.

Private Shuttles

Private shuttles can also be a fast option for traveling from Bujumbura to the airport. The fares of private shuttles are slightly higher than other alternatives such as taxis and tuk-tuk. However, these vehicles stand out with their higher capacities with regards to both passengers and luggage. You can increase your chances of finding a seat on a shuttle by booking a few days before the date you will travel to the airport. Despite their higher capacities with regards to both passengers and luggage, private shuttles are also among the vehicles that are affected by the complex traffic in Bujumbura.
