Getting Around
How to get to and from Faleolo International Airport — taxis, public transport, shuttles and car rental.

Faleolo International Airport is connected to Apia and the wider Samoa transport network by multiple ground transport options.
Local buses stop on the main road outside the airport for about WS$5 one-way.
A taxi to Apia costs roughly US$30 — confirm the rate before starting the ride.
No rideshare app is confirmed to operate in Samoa.
AA Rent-a-Car, Avis, Budget, Discovery, Funway, Samoana, Taumeasina, MS Car Rentals, and MY Rental all have confirmed on-site counters — an unusually wide lineup for an airport this size.
