Getting Around

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

Transport Options at LFW

Lomé–Tokoin International Airport is connected to Lomé and the wider Togo transport network by multiple ground transport options.

Taxi

Taxis cover the roughly 7km/15-minute ride to the city centre; cited fares (about 4,000 CFA to downtown, up to 20,000 CFA further out) are flagged by the source itself as unverified — treat as a rough reference and confirm before riding.

Car Rental

No confirmed on-site rental brand; nearby hotels reportedly offer shuttle service instead.

Insider tip

Security and immigration processing have been described as inconsistent by at least one traveler account, including informal fee requests, though conditions are reported to be improving — build in a little extra buffer.

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