Getting Around
How to get to and from Douala International Airport — taxis, public transport, shuttles and car rental.
Transport Options at DLA
Douala International Airport is connected to Douala and the wider Cameroon transport network by multiple ground transport options.
Private and shared-ride taxis operate from the ground transportation area; no confirmed fare figure was found, and sources warn of unsolicited-offer risk — agree the fare clearly before boarding.
Yango has operated in Douala but has faced repeated government suspensions and licence renewals in recent years, so current availability isn't stable or guaranteed; Uber and Bolt aren't confirmed present.
Autorent, Avis, and Car Hire Joss all have on-site counters.
Don't assume a rideshare app will be working when you land — availability has been inconsistent here; a pre-arranged hotel transfer is the more reliable option.
