What’s the cost of a Kigali Airport taxi?
The local Kigali Airport taxi drivers don’t often use their taximeters to calculate their fares. Instead, they usually opt for a set fare that they’ll quote based on your final destination and even depending on how familiar with the city you appear. Tourists usually end up getting charged more than locals, but the average fare will be €3 (RWF 3,700), which is still very affordable.
If you’re looking for a fixed fare you can rely on for your Kigali Airport taxi service, we suggest pre-booking a personalised ride with Welcome Pickups instead.
