Getting Around
How to get to and from Princess Juliana International Airport — taxis, public transport, shuttles and car rental.
Transport Options at SXM
Princess Juliana International Airport is connected to Sint Maarten and the wider Sint Maarten transport network by multiple ground transport options.
Buses depart frequently from the parking area opposite the taxi stand, heading toward Philipsburg and toward Maho/Cupecoy; a specific route number was not found.
Government-fixed zone fares for 1–2 passengers (USD): Maho Beach $8, Simpson Bay $15, Cupecoy $15, Mullet Bay $12, Cole Bay $11, Philipsburg $20, Little Bay $20, Cruise Port $25, Oyster Bay $40. Evening surcharges apply: +25% from 22:00–midnight, +50% midnight–05:00.
Multiple agencies have airport desks, including Enterprise, Sixt, Autounion, Routes and Mex Rent a Car.
There is no airside international transit here — even connecting passengers must clear immigration and customs, collect bags and re-check in, so factor that into any layover.
