Where to catch the shuttle

After landing, you’ll need to walk outside to the shuttle bus stop, located about a 4-minute walk from the terminal. The route is flat and easy to manage with luggage.

The bus stop is marked as Other Buses (orange area) on the airport map.

Directions:

  1. Exit the arrivals hall through the main doors in front of you.
  2. Once outside, turn left and walk past the taxi rank.
  3. Continue straight until you reach the first glass tunnel, and walk through it.
  4. Follow the Car Rental Shuttle / Other Buses sign and turn left into a second tunnel.
  5. Pass the Car Rental East area and keep walking straight.
  6. Cross the street at the pedestrian crossing. The bus stop is right there, marked with the same sign.

At the stop, look for the shuttle labelled Car Rental BUS4U.

Board the bus and ride to Stop 2: Lava Car Rental. You'll recognise it by the Lava logo on the building.
