Getting Around
How to get to and from José Martí International Airport — taxis, public transport, shuttles and car rental.
Transport Options at HAV
José Martí International Airport is connected to Havana and the wider Cuba transport network by multiple ground transport options.
Local buses connect to the city but are often overcrowded and irregular, with cash-only fares in local currency.
Official government taxis operate from the ground transport area, roughly 20-30 minutes to the city; agree on a fare before getting in, as meters are not used for airport transfers.
Cubanacar, Havanautos, Via/Transgaviota, and Rex (luxury) operate desks in arrivals.
Uber and Lyft do not operate in Cuba due to US sanctions; always agree on a taxi fare before departure, and avoid touts quoting inflated prices.
