Getting Around
How to get to and from Cotonou Cadjehoun International Airport — taxis, public transport, shuttles and car rental.
Transport Options at COO
Cotonou Cadjehoun International Airport is connected to Cotonou and the wider Benin transport network by multiple ground transport options.
Taxis have no meter and no official tariff — negotiate the fare before boarding, pay in CFA francs, and expect scarcer and pricier rides after about 10pm.
No rideshare app is confirmed to operate here.
Rental can be pre-booked through online aggregators; on-site airport counters or brands weren't individually confirmed.
This airport is unusually close to the city — only about 5km, 15–30 minutes — among the most convenient on this list. Motorcycle taxis (zémidjan) are cheap but not recommended from the airport with luggage, especially after dark.
