What is the best way to get from the airport to hotels?

Updated Jun 10, 2026

The answer

Taxis represent the primary airport transfer option for most visitors arriving in Aruba. The vehicles are positioned directly outside the baggage claim area, ensuring immediate availability upon exiting customs. Government oversight establishes standardized pricing for taxi services, eliminating fare negotiation and providing travelers with predictable costs for rides to hotel zones across the island.

No alternative transportation methods receive significant mention in traveler reports, suggesting taxis dominate the airport-to-hotel transfer landscape. The regulated fare structure means rates remain consistent regardless of which taxi a visitor selects from the airport queue.
