Hato International Airport (CUR)

Getting Around

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

Transport Options at CUR

Hato International Airport is connected to Willemstad and the wider Curacao transport network by multiple ground transport options.

Bus & Shuttle

A public bus serves Willemstad -- the cheapest option but slower due to multiple stops.

Taxi

Taxis and shuttles run 24 hours to Willemstad (about 12km, roughly 15-20 minutes); some accept card or even cryptocurrency.

Rideshare

Uber is not recognized under Curacao transport law -- the government has explicitly warned that paid rides via Uber without a permit are treated as a criminal offense.

Car Rental

Avis, Hertz, and Budget operate on-site.

Insider tip

All foreign travelers must complete a Digital Immigration Card and a Passenger Location Card before or at arrival.

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