Where to get a taxi at Antananarivo Airport?
The taxi rank at Antananarivo Airport is located just outside the Arrivals Hall. As you exit the terminal building, cross the road and you’ll see the line of taxis. Just bear in mind that the average waiting time for an empty taxi is around 10 minutes, although you may end up queuing for longer during peak season. This can be uncomfortable in the heat and humidity of Madagascar.
Useful tips for getting a taxi from Antananarivo Airport
- Antananarivo Airport taxis don’t have taximeters. Instead, they have a zone fare system.
- Wheelchair-accessible taxis are available on request. The best thing to do is to report to the information desk at the airport or book your transport in advance to avoid delays.
- All payments must be made in the local currency – Malagasy ariary (MGA).
- Don’t accept a ride from a random driver inside the airport's Arrivals Hall. They are unlikely to be licensed, and you could be overcharged.
- Booking a private transfer in advance during rush hour can save you time.
- Tipping is not obligatory but is always appreciated. In a taxi, rounding up is acceptable.
- Though many Antananarivo taxi drivers speak English, it’s worth writing down your destination address to make communication easier if you don’t speak French.
- You typically can’t pay for your Antananarivo Airport taxi by credit card. Therefore, we recommend carrying cash in the local currency to pay for your fare (if you haven’t prepaid already).
