Reliable and Personalised Havana Airport Transfers
Serving both international and domestic flights, José Martí International Airport is Cuba’s main gateway and receives millions of passengers annually. To ensure reliable and comfortable transport to your accommodation, you can pre-book your taxi from Havana Airport with Welcome Pickups and enhance your travel experience.
Booking your Welcome transfer will only take a couple of minutes so if you value quality and personalised service, it’s definitely worth including it in your trip planning. Even if your plans change at the last minute, Welcome’s flexible cancellation policy keeps things flexible. As your trip approaches, a professional, local, hand-picked driver will be assigned to operate your transfer; you’ll receive their photo and contact details so that you know who to look for as soon as you reach the arrivals hall. They’ll also be holding a sign with your name on it so that you can easily spot them among the crowd and they’ll happily help you with your luggage if you wish so.
All that is part of the smooth, stress-free travel experience that Welcome Pickups offers and that can help make your trip unforgettable from the moment you land at the airport. At the same time, you’ll enjoy the company of a true local, who can offer valuable tips about the local culture and suggestions about great places to eat or lesser-known activities that you won’t find in travel guides. If you wish to enjoy the same level of service on your way back to the airport, you can ask your driver to help you book a return transfer quickly and effortlessly; just make sure to ask before you reach your accommodation.

Getting to Havana City Centre with your Havana Airport Transfer
Havana International Airport is located approximately 16 kilometres south of the city centre. Getting there by taxi is a 25-minute drive and it’s easy to track the route on your mobile. Once you leave the airport parking, your driver will make a slight right. After about 6 kilometres, you’ll reach a roundabout and your driver will take the 2nd exit. They will then take the exit onto Autop. Este-Oeste and after about 2 kilometres, take the exit and turn left toward Av. San Francisco/Route 400. Then, they’ll keep right to continue toward Av. San Francisco/Route 400 and merge onto Av. San Francisco/Route 400. As you approach the city centre, your driver will drive to Carr. Central de Cuba, then turn left, and after about 3 kilometres make a slight right onto Calz. de Vento. Depending on your exact drop-off location, your driver will continue onto Carr. Central de Cuba and follow local roads to reach your accommodation.
Why Choose a Welcome Havana Airport Taxi
Arriving at a new destination can be quite stressful and checking bus schedules, waiting in long queues for a taxi or trying to figure out how currency works aren’t ideal activities as soon as you land. Instead, Welcome Pickups can help you plan a smooth, stress-free trip before you even leave the airport by pre-booking your personalised Havana airport transfer. Your Welcome ride will be pre-paid, saving you the trouble of carrying cash whilst you also get a flexible cancellation policy in case your travel plans change. Another thing you won’t have to worry about is rushing through customs and baggage claim; your Welcome booking includes 60 minutes of free waiting time, ensuring you have plenty of time to reach the exit and meet your driver. With Welcome Pickups, you don’t get only an airport transfer but also peace of mind, whether you’re travelling for business or pleasure.
Fare for a Taxi from Havana Airport
Official taxis at Havana Airport are metered and operate at regulated rates. It’s important to only use one of the official taxi companies that operate at the airport, as it’s common for unlicensed drivers to try and overcharge tourists. The official taxi service is pretty reliable and you can get to the city centre at a reasonable price. For up to 4 passengers, a standard taxi should cost approximately $30 (600 CUP). It’s best to carry cash and a variety of larger and smaller notes so that the driver can easily provide change. If you prefer a stress-free travel experience where you don’t have to worry about currency exchange and cash, you can always pre-book your Havana airport transfer with Welcome Pickups.
