Caracas Airport Transfer Guide - All Options & Prices

# Airport Transfer Options in Caracas Based on currently available data, there are no verified public transportation options operating between Simón Bolívar International Airport (Maiquetía) and central Caracas at this time. This situation reflects the challenging transportation infrastructure in the region. Travelers should be prepared to arrange private transportation in advance or through their accommodation provider, as on-demand options at the airport may be limited or unreliable. Due to the lack of verified transfer services in our current database, we strongly recommend contacting your hotel or accommodation directly before arrival to arrange airport pickup. They will have the most current information about safe and reliable transportation options. The journey to central Caracas typically takes 45-90 minutes depending on traffic conditions and your specific destination within the city. Always confirm transportation arrangements and pricing before departure, and consider having backup contact information for your accommodation.

Arrange airport transfers in advance through your hotel or trusted services rather than using street taxis

Unofficial Taxi Drivers: Unlicensed drivers may approach you inside the terminal offering rides at inflated prices or take indirect routes. Avoid by using only official taxi stands outside the arrivals area or pre-booking through verified services.

Currency Exchange Scams: Unofficial money changers may offer attractive rates but use sleight of hand or provide counterfeit bills. Avoid by using official exchange services inside the terminal or ATMs from recognized banks.

Fake Airport Officials: Individuals posing as airport staff may offer to 'help' with luggage or transportation for a fee, then demand excessive payment. Avoid by politely declining unsolicited help and only approaching uniformed staff at official desks.
