Airport Transfers – Departures to JKIA and Wilson Airport

Leaving Nairobi and cannot miss the flight? Your driver collects you from the hotel door and gets you to the terminal with time to check in.

From USD 20 per vehicle per route

What this includes

Tell us your flight and where to collect you, and we set a pick-up time that gets you to the terminal with time to spare. This booking covers your departure transfer from your hotel or address to JKIA or Wilson Airport, with the flight confirmed before pick-up.

Your booking confirmation is sent here.

WHAT IT IS

Out of the hotel and onto your flight, on time

This page is for departures only: collecting you from your hotel or the city and dropping you at the airport for your flight. If you are arriving and need a ride into town, that is our Transfers – Arrivals service, and it should be booked there instead.

We work backwards from your flight time. Nairobi traffic is unpredictable, so your driver arrives with enough margin for check-in, and at JKIA the terminal can be busy on international departures. You tell us the flight and we tell you the pick-up time that gets you there comfortably.

The driver collects you from your hotel door or any address you name, loads the bags and drives you to JKIA or Wilson Airport, dropping you at the correct terminal. For an early-morning flight we plan the night before and arrive at the agreed hour, because nothing is worth missing a plane over.

Book at least 24 hours ahead — allow extra time on weekday mornings

QUESTIONS

Transfers – Departures FAQs

Fill in the enquiry form on our homepage or send us a WhatsApp message on +254 719 276227. Share your flight number, arrival date and time, the number of passengers and your drop-off address. We confirm your vehicle and driver details within 15 minutes.

Yes. We track every flight number you give us, so if your flight is delayed or arrives early your driver is adjusted automatically. There is no extra charge for waiting caused by a delayed flight.

We specialise in Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) and Wilson Airport (WIL), and we also handle transfers to and from all Nairobi hotels, residences, offices and the SGR station. Longer transfers to Naivasha, Nakuru, Amboseli, Nanyuki and Mombasa are available on request.

Fares depend on the vehicle type, the drop-off location and the time of day. A standard sedan from JKIA to the Nairobi CBD or Westlands is our most popular option. Send us your details and we will quote you an all-inclusive price - there are no hidden charges.

On arrival our driver meets you in the arrivals hall with a name board or company signage. If you add the Meet & Greet option we will wait from the moment your flight lands and help with your luggage.

Yes, child seats and booster seats are available free of charge on request. Just tick Child Seats under Special Requirements when you submit your enquiry.

All our airport transfer prices are per vehicle, not per person, and they include fuel, the driver and airport parking. That means a group of four travelling together pays the same as a single traveller in the same vehicle category.

An arrival transfer collects the passenger at the airport and takes them to a hotel, residence or meeting. A departure transfer collects them from their address and delivers them to the terminal in time for the flight. They are booked separately because they are rarely the same date, or the same vehicle.

At least twelve hours ahead, and earlier for a very early flight. We plan the pick-up so the passenger reaches the terminal three hours before an international departure and two hours before a domestic one.
