Unless you arrive late at night, Uber is probably the most cost effective and seems to be reliable. Only book your ride through the Uber app.

If you prefer a taxi then book it at the office at the airport after you arrive, we do NOT recommend accepting one of the touts who will accost you after clearing security.

If you would like to book ride, Fabulas Shuttle Services is a provider the SAAO uses. They can be contacted by email (fabulas@telkomsa.net).
