Transportation to Airport from Baghdad City Center
Baghdad Intl. Airport
Traveling to Baghdad Airport from the city centre by Baghdad city buses, taxi or rental cars is quite easy. You can make a both safe and affordable journey by means of transportation such as private or shared taxis, armored or normal coaches or rental car, all of which can easily be found in the city.
Bus
Baghdad buses, which are called Rhino Runners, provide transportation to several locations in the city and to Baghdad Airport from the city centre. Due to some security problems going on in Baghdad and Iraq, these buses are armored. Locals and the tourists visiting the city usually prefer taxis and their own private vehicles for transportation.
Taxi
If you don’t have an internationally valid driver licence, taxi is the safest means of transportation in Baghdad, where public transportation is under-developed. Contrary to popular belief, traveling by the yellow and white taxis, which can be found anywhere in the city, is budget friendly.
Nearly none of the taxis in Baghdad have taximeter, so tell your destination to the taxi driver and try bargaining before getting on the car. You can easily travel to Baghdad airport by taxi from any location in the city, and this journey takes about 30 – 35 minutes. Also, you can travel at a cheaper price by choosing shared taxis.
Rent a Car
Renting a car is one of the most convenient and affordable ways to travel in Baghdad, where urban roads are quite developed. You can find rent a car companies in many locations in the city. You will get a fairer price by booking a car in advance, but local rent a car companies in Baghdad also offer reasonably priced options. By following the road signs, you can drive to Baghdad Airport in about 20 – 25 minutes in your rental car. There is not much urban traffic in Baghdad and as the public transportation in the city is under-developed, traveling by your own car is a much more convenient option.

There are also car rental companies that you can easily access within the airport. Public transportation cards used by the Dutch are not usable by the visitors unfortunately. If the visitors want to use public transport, they can buy standard one-way tickets, or if they use public transport frequently, they can get a visitors’ card validity for 4 or 5 years. It is possible to get these cards from the newsagent at the airport. In order to use these cards for train travel, extra credit is required. Transportation is free for children between 0-3 years old.

However, it should be noted that taking a taxi is not an economical alternative in Rotterdam.
Car Rental
If you are looking for an independent, fast, and more flexible option in the city, we would recommend you to rent a car. You can find the best car rental companies in various points of the city or at the airport, and rent a car.
