Getting Around
How to get to and from Ndjili International Airport — taxis, public transport, shuttles and car rental.
Transport Options at FIH
Ndjili International Airport is connected to Kinshasa and the wider DR Congo transport network by multiple ground transport options.
A Transco bus stop and other unspecified shuttle buses are reported at the airport; ask at the Information Desk for current routes.
There are no meters — fares are negotiated before departure and reported figures vary widely by source (roughly $20-80 depending on destination and time); use an official rank or a hotel-arranged driver where possible, and agree the price before loading luggage.
No confirmed car rental desks at the airport; most visitors arrange transport through hotels or tour operators instead.
The drive into Kinshasa can take anywhere from 45 minutes to over two hours depending on traffic, weather, and security checks — budget generously and avoid displaying valuables en route.
