Roberts International Airport (ROB)

Getting Around

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

Transport Options at ROB

Roberts International Airport is connected to Monrovia and the wider Liberia transport network by multiple ground transport options.

Taxi

Yellow, unmetered taxis meet scheduled arrivals; negotiate the fare before getting in. A reported range of $10-20 USD has been cited, though given the airport's roughly 56km distance from Monrovia, treat this figure as dated or for a shorter leg rather than the full-distance fare — confirm before riding.

Car Rental

No confirmed on-site rental brand was found in sources checked.

Insider tip

Roberts is notably far from Monrovia — about 56km (35 miles), near Harbel in Margibi County. The city's closer airfield, Spriggs Payne, has had no scheduled international commercial service since 2014, so Roberts carries all of Liberia's scheduled air traffic despite the distance.

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