There are buses that provide direct transportation services from the airport to the city center. There are also bus services from Aktau city center and many other regions to Aktau Airport. All you need to do is get a map of the city bus routes from the nearest travel information office.
As there are many routes of minibus-like matryoshka vehicles, it is very easy to get to any point of the city in a very short time with these. As minibuses are not affiliated to a particular company, the routes, working hours and fares of each minibus are different. It is therefore not possible to come across any map showing the routes of matryoshka in any part of the city. Most of these vehicles are working till late hours in the evening, and usually the ticket costs around 35 Tenges. As you can get a very convenient way of travelling around the city with these vehicles, there also matryoshka vehicles that provide transportation service to Aktau Airport. These vehicles usually depart from the city center.
The taxi fares in Aktau starts from an average of 200 Tenges. But if you are a foreigner, you will be probably asked for a higher price: 300 Tenges. Officially affiliated taxi drivers are usually from the Caucasus. Local taxi drivers often speak English.
There are much more car rental opportunities available in the city center than Aktau Airport. If you choose a domestic car rental company, make sure that there is another branch of the company in Aktau Airport. This would be a great convenience for you; you can deliver your vehicle at the airport on your return trip. Many of the foreigners who come to Aktau as tourists or for longer stays prefer car rental options, as the city does not offer many options in terms of public transport unfortunately.

At Francisco Bangoy Airport, taxis are extensively used by the passengers to go to the city center. Those who want to use the public transportation vehicles can prefer the sympathetic Jeepney minibuses, which are specific to the city with stops outside the airport. Car rental companies at the airport, which are open for 24 hours, help those who would like to go to the city with a private car.
Picking up passengers from the airport all day and helping them arrive at the city center comfortably, taxis are driven by educated and honest drivers. The drivers are not open to bargaining on the fare tariff, but they answer your question honestly when you ask them how much you are going to pay on average for the city center.
You can go to the city center more economically with the Jeepneys, which emerged as a result of the transformation of the old jeeps and the minibuses into public transportation vehicles in Davao. However, you have to come to the main road, which is so close to the airport that you can reach there in 5 minutes by walking, in order to take the Jeepneys.
If you would like to rent a car, you can head for the offices of Avis or Europcar at the airport. You can rent a car of any brand and model you wish from the car rental companies for a certain while, where documentation procedures are significantly practical. You should be careful not to exceed the time limit of delivery when you are renting the car for a long time. You may have to pay an extra amount to the companies, which are sensitive in this matter.
