Getting Around
How to get to and from Bauerfield International Airport — taxis, public transport, shuttles and car rental.
Transport Options at VLI
Bauerfield International Airport is connected to Port Vila and the wider Vanuatu transport network by multiple ground transport options.
Fixed-rate taxis are readily available for the short roughly 10-minute drive into Port Vila; fare estimates found online were inconsistent, so confirm the price before departing.
No confirmed car rental desks at the airport; arranging a rental through a hotel or international agency in Port Vila is the more reliable option.
Bauerfield was significantly rebuilt after Cyclone Pam, a Category 5 storm that flooded the terminal in March 2015, as part of a US$73.9 million World Bank-backed aviation investment program covering this and two other Vanuatu airports.
