Brunei International Airport (BWN)

Getting Around

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

Transport Options at BWN

Brunei International Airport is connected to Bandar Seri Begawan and the wider Brunei transport network by multiple ground transport options.

Bus & Shuttle

A public bus runs for about BND 1 per ride with general service hours of roughly 6am to 8pm; the exact airport departure schedule isn't confirmed.

Taxi

Published tariffs (as of this check) run BND 25 (6am–6pm) or BND 30 (6pm–midnight) to the Brunei Hotel area, and BND 20/25 to Centre Point; metered trips start at BND 3.50 flagfall plus a BND 3 airport surcharge, with a 50% surcharge from midnight to 6am. Confirm whether you're being quoted a fixed or metered fare before riding.

Rideshare

Uber and Grab are not confirmed to operate in Brunei; Dart, Brunei's own ride-hailing app launched around 2018, is the real local alternative.

Car Rental

First Car, Auto Rent, and Global Rent A Car are listed among suppliers at the airport via third-party booking sites, though this hasn't been independently verified against an official airport facilities page.

Insider tip

Download Dart rather than expecting Uber or Grab to work here — it's Brunei's own local ride-hailing app.

Transport routes, fares and operators change frequently. Verify current options on the official Brunei International Airport website before travel.

Pre-Book Your Transfer

Ground Transport Tips for BWN

Only use official taxi ranks or pre-booked apps at Brunei International Airport. Avoid unofficial drivers approaching you in arrivals.
If a rail or metro connection exists, it is usually the fastest and most reliable option during rush hour.
Allow extra time for ground transport during peak hours. Bandar Seri Begawan city traffic can significantly extend journey times.
Download offline maps for Bandar Seri Begawan before landing — useful if your data connection is slow on arrival.
If travelling with heavy luggage, a private transfer or taxi is often more practical than public transport.
