Maputo Airport (MPM)

Getting Around

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

Transport Options at MPM

Maputo Airport is connected to Maputo and the wider Mozambique transport network by multiple ground transport options.

Taxi

Taxis wait in the ground transportation area with a mix of metered and unmetered practice — no confirmed typical fare was found, so agree a price before setting off.

Rideshare

Yango operates in Maputo; Uber does not run in Mozambique, and Bolt's presence isn't confirmed.

Car Rental

Avis and Hertz both have confirmed on-site counters; Sixt also lists a Maputo airport location on its own site.

Insider tip

Agree your taxi fare up front or use Yango, since metered pricing isn't reliably enforced at the rank.

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

Pre-Book Your Transfer

Skip the taxi queue. Book a private transfer from MPM to Maputo in advance and have a driver waiting when you land.
