Piarco International Airport (POS)

Getting Around

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

Transport Options at POS

Piarco International Airport is connected to Port of Spain and the wider Trinidad and Tobago transport network by multiple ground transport options.

Taxi

Taxis wait 24 hours outside arrivals with posted zone-based rates in TTD rather than a meter; rates aren't published online, so check with the taxi desk or information booth before leaving, and note a night surcharge may apply. The airport is about 27km from Port of Spain, and rush hour (7–9am, 4–7pm) can double the travel time.

Rideshare

Uber has a confirmed presence in Trinidad and Tobago, though specific airport pickup procedures aren't detailed in available sources.

Car Rental

A's Car Rental, Allan Dickson Executive, Auto Center Ltd, Avis, Budget, Econo, Europcar, Exclusive Car Rentals, Hertz, Kalloo's Rentals, Neal & Massy, Save-a-Lot, Singh's Auto Rentals, and Xtra Lease are all represented here.

Insider tip

Allow extra time for the 27km trip into Port of Spain during rush hour, when travel time can double.

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